ABOUT MAMA & SMUSH

Mama & Smush was born out of a deep desire to listen to the unheard voices of mothers—voices that often whisper about feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unseen during the postpartum period.

About Our Meals

we recognize that

nourishment is the missing Piece in postpartum care, often overlooked in the rush of new responsibilities.

This oversight takes a toll not just on mothers, but on partners too, leaving families struggling when they should be thriving.

We believe that the first 42 days of postpartum are sacred…

Laying the foundation for the next 42 years. If we nourish mothers during this critical time, we are not just feeding bodies—we’re nurturing hearts, minds, and souls. By taking care of families, the benefits naturally extend to the baby, creating a ripple effect of well-being and love. At Mama & Smush, we’re not just delivering meals; we’re delivering care, understanding, and the support that every new family deserves. We’re here to help you feel nourished, supported, and ready to embrace the journey of motherhood with strength and confidence.

POSTPARTUM NUTRITIONIST PROFESSIONAL (CPPNP), HERBALIST &, AYURVEDIC DOULA

Hi, I’m Karen, the founder of Mama & Smush, and a wife and mother of three. As a birth professional, I’ve dedicated years to supporting families through pregnancy and postpartum. It wasn't until I went through my own postpartum experience that I truly understood the significance of proper nourishment. I realized I needed to make impactful changes to postpartum care. After becoming certified, I started implementing postpartum meal plans and educating families about these practices, resulting in transformative changes for them. Now, years later, I’m excited to share these approaches to reach even more families and help bridge the gap in postpartum care. At Mama & Smush, I blend ancient Ayurveda, herbs, and modern global practices to provide nourishing solutions for postpartum families.

Here’s what I learned…

After following the advice to “eat whatever you like,” I encountered issues like hair loss, brittle nails, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and poor digestion. This left me feeling drained and not thriving, and I know I’m not alone. Many postpartum mothers are told these challenges are normal, but the fact is, they are NOT
