I am a DONA International trained Birth & Postpartum Doula, a Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Teacher and a Postpartum Chef and Herbalist.   I bring my background in Ayurveda and my love of whole, organic and farm-fresh foods to the table providing families with warm nourishing meals that are healthy, easy to digest and delicious. I cook all meals in the home of my clients; everything is made from scratch with the highest quality ingredients.  Having support in this way makes new families stronger, more adaptable and allows time to for new parents to rest and bond with their newborn babies. Some of my favorite postpartum dishes to prepare include:   Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut & Cilantro Red Lentils with Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric & Coconut Risotto with fresh Shitake and Maitake Mushrooms Lemongrass & Ginger Beef Stew  Warm Rice Pudding with Cardamom, Cinnamon & Ghee To see a full list of my meal offerings please click here!   I am currently booking Postpartum Chef clients for the spring and summer of 2017.  Prenatal Chef and private yoga packages are also available.   I am  committed to helping create better birth and postpartum experiences for all people and all parents.  LEARN MORE OR CONTACT ALICIA! FOURTH TRIMESTER NOURISHMENT: Healing postpartum foods, plants & practices for the whole family   Open to all people who are pregnant or postpartum, babies welcome.   The early postpartum period is a time like no other time in life; it is magical, messy, miraculous and full of emotional highs and lows.  Being a new parent is at times utterly exhausting and at other times fully blissful.  During this special moment in life, the newborn baby, the person who gave birth and the entire family goes through a tremendous transition (including beloved pets!).  Nourishing warm foods and beverages that support healing and lactation, a calm environment and the right kind of support are essential for postpartum healing.     Drawing on the wisdom of Ayurveda and other traditions of postpartum care from around the world, I will present a workshop on postpartum nourishment for the whole family.  I will discuss specific healing foods, the energetics of the postpartum period and practices that will help new parents stay grounded and strong as they enter this new "season of life."   This workshop/circle is offered at a sliding scale rate of $20-45.
