The Postpartum Kitchen

Warm in temperature, warm in nature, easy to digest, nutrient dense food.

Our digestive system is profoundly altered through pregnancy and birth. There are specific foods that should be eaten - and foods that should not be eaten in the postpartum time - to support long-term digestive health.

The postpartum period is not a time to rush back to ‘normal life’. It is a sacred, tender window of recovery, when the body, nervous system, and spirit are recalibrating after birth.

This is a time when a mother deserves to be deeply looked after.

Nutrient‑dense, warming, and intentionally prepared food plays a vital role in this healing. In the weeks after birth, the body is healing, regulating hormones, and supporting milk production. Food becomes more than nourishment ~ it becomes exquisite care, love, and medicine.

My postpartum kitchen is designed to support this tender transition. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared to be grounding, easily digestible, and rich in the nutrients that support faster healing, sustained energy, and emotional steadiness.

This is food that warms from the inside out. Food that steadies the nervous system. Food that allows you to rest while someone else takes care of you.

At present, the postpartum kitchen is lovingly built into my Full Bloom Doula Package, offering seamless nourishment alongside hands‑on care. Private postpartum kitchen support will be available soon for individual clients.

Because when a mother is exquisitely nourished, she heals more fully ~ and when she is held, everyone benefits.

Imogen was such a great comfort and support for us when navigating some difficult decisions during my birth. Her kindness and warmth is unparalleled and we were hugely grateful for her.”

    ~ a mother

  • “Imogen guided me through my first (and only, to date) pregnancy and labour. I spoke to a few doulas before choosing Imogen for her particularly warm demeanour and non-dogmatic approach. She was really fantastic throughout, and really came into her own during my 36-hour labour.

    ~ a mother

  • "Imogen helped us to bring our beautiful son safely into this world. Having her by our side to prepare us during the weeks before and to guide us throughout my labour made me feel like we were an invincible team. The best cheerleader, support (emotionally and physically!), and teacher, Imogen helped me to birth my son in the way that I wanted. Her subsequent care and love has allowed me to remember his birth as something of which I will always be incredibly proud. She is truly an angel whom we are now privileged to consider part of our family."

    ~ a mother

  • Imogen is a very special doula. She supported me through a difficult pregnancy with unwavering care, compassion, and incredible wisdom.

    - a mother

  • From our very first meeting, she made me feel seen, heard, and safe, providing guidance that was both practical and deeply nurturing. Her presence throughout the pregnancy and birth was calming and empowering. She went far beyond what I could have hoped for in support, always anticipating needs I didn’t even know I had.

    - a mother

  • Thanks to Imogen, I was able to navigate my pregnancy with confidence, even in the face of challenges I never imagined I’d face. She helped transform what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience into one of trust, resilience, and empowerment.I will be forever grateful for her guidance, presence, and unwavering dedication.

    - a mother

  • She was in touch with me and my husband from the minute the labour started and was physically present for the last 20 hours of it, first at home and then in hospital. She was firmly reassuring and calm, which I especially appreciated in the moments when I felt like I was losing my grip on reality. I am still not sure that labour can be beautiful, but Imogen is definitely the reason that mine was not traumatic (and went largely to plan and without complications), despite the incredibly broken medical bureaucracy around it.”
