“Courtney is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable and supportive women I have ever met. The food. OMG! Warm spiced porridges, nutrient dense dal, kitchari’s, lactation snacks, the list goes on and on. Her wealth of knowledge extends not only to creating delicious nutrition, but also deeper into the holistic world of Ayurveda body-mind connection and physical restoration that moms desperately need. She was a true angel after I had my twins, and helped me nourish both bodily and mentally. She even nudged me to reframe some of the stories I was telling myself about my birth and the boys being in the NICU for which I am forever grateful. I believe every woman should have her during their postpartum session.”

“Walking into my house from the hospital to delicious food, warming teas, and the comfort knowing I didn’t have to think about what to eat to nourish my body was everything.”
