The food scientist
who feeds new mums.
I’m Shanna, a food scientist and trained postpartum doula. For six weeks after your baby arrives, I cook in your kitchen while you rest. Caloundra to Noosa.
Start where you are.
A free recipe every week. A five-day plan to fill your freezer before your baby arrives. Or six weeks of me cooking in your kitchen, from Caloundra to Noosa.
Your body just built a person.
Now it needs feeding.
In the first weeks, food is usually the first thing to go. You’re healing, feeding around the clock, and eating whatever’s closest.
I know, because I did it too.
Everything here is built for those weeks. Food that’s easy to make, easy to eat, and planned around what your body needs while it recovers.

Hello, I'm Shanna
Food scientist. Postpartum doula. Mum of two.
My first postpartum, I ate peanut butter toast over the sink. A food science degree, and that was dinner.
My second, I had a plan and a full freezer. Day to day felt easier.
Now I cook for new mums on the Sunshine Coast, and I write down what works so you can do it yourself.
“I’ve been lucky enough to eat plenty of meals from Resting Rituals and they are honestly so good. Every meal is delicious, comforting and you can tell how much thought and care goes into everything.”
— Sandra
A private chef who knows postpartum.
If you’d rather be fed than handed a recipe, I do that too.
Six weeks of in-home cooking and support, from Caloundra to Noosa. I come once a week, cook in your kitchen while you rest, and leave meals in your fridge and freezer.
Now booking 2027 families on the Sunshine Coast.
