A private chef for your first six weeks.
Weekly visits from a food scientist and trained postpartum doula who cooks in your kitchen while you rest. Caloundra to Noosa.
You've planned everything.
The birth plan is done. The nursery is ready.
The pram is in the hallway and the hospital bag is packed.
But most of that planning is about the baby.
Almost none of it is about who feeds you.
In those first weeks, you’ll be healing, feeding around the clock, and running on broken sleep. Food is usually the first thing to go. Toast over the sink. Whatever’s fastest.
Your body has just done something enormous. What you eat while it recovers matters, and you shouldn’t have to cook it.
That’s what this is for.
Except this.
What six weeks of support
actually looks like
1.
Your own chef, in your kitchen. Fresh meals cooked to your tastes, planned around what a healing body needs.
2.
Feeding support. Practical, non-judgemental help whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or doing a bit of both.
4.
Gentle yoga and breathing. Simple practices to help you rest and settle, done on the couch if that’s where you are.
5.
Company. Someone to talk to about the birth, the big change, and everything you haven’t said out loud yet.
Each visit is shaped around what you need that day. There’s no rigid programme. But here’s what you can count on, every week:
3.
Light practical help. A load of washing, a cleared bench, the kind of help that matters when you’re this tired.
6.
Postpartum planning before your baby arrives, so the first visit is useful from day one.

This is for you if:
You plan things properly. You’ve done the reading, and you know the weeks after birth will matter more than anyone is telling you. You want to recover well, not just get through.
You don’t want to live on toast and well-meaning casseroles. Your family is far away, or busy, or both. You’d rather be cooked for than handed a meal plan, by someone who knows what a recovering body needs.
And you live somewhere between Caloundra and Noosa.
