Nourished Mama
Postpartum food service in Lisboa, Cascais & Sintra
Made to nourish you while you nourish your baby.
Nourished Mama is a postpartum food service in Lisbon, Cascais & Sintra, created to nourish and care for women during the weeks after birth.
As a chef and certified Holistic Health Coach with specialised training in women's hormone health and nutrition, I prepare each meal with a mother's changing nutritional needs in mind.
Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, my food is warm, wholesome, and made with nourishing ingredients to bring comfort and support during this tender transition.
I take care of the groceries and cooking, while you soak up every little cuddle. Leaving you more space to rest, recover, and enjoy those precious moments with your baby.
❋ Deep Nourishment
Every meal is made with carefully selected fresh, seasonal produce, quality proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains. Iron and B12 support healthy blood formation, protein helps repair tissues, and sufficient energy is essential for recovery and breastfeeding. Every ingredient is chosen with purpose, to help replenish your body and support you through this important time of healing.
❋ Warmth & Comfort
Inspired by traditional postpartum cooking, meals are gently prepared to bring warmth and comfort without being heavy on digestion. Think slow-cooked congee, rich homemade broths, tender stews, and warming spices. Cooking methods that bring out flavour, soften ingredients, and make nourishing meals easy to enjoy.
❋ Peace of Mind
Knowing what to eat after birth, finding the right ingredients, and preparing everything takes time and energy, often when both are in short supply. Having someone who understands postpartum nourishment take care of it all brings real peace of mind. You and your partner can trust that the food is thoughtfully taken care of, leaving more room for rest, recovery, and those precious first moments together.
“when a mother is nourished, that nourishment reaches far beyond her.”
Postpartum recovery continues long after birth, making the first 40 days a precious window to rest, replenish, and rebuild. Nourishing a mother well supports her recovery, energy and emotional wellbeing. It will help her feel more like herself, and giving her more to draw from as she cares for her baby.

How it works
Not sure which option is right for you? The Food Box is perfect if you simply want nourishing, ready-made postpartum food prepared for you. It follows a seasonal set menu and is freshly prepared each week.
Chef at Home offers more personal support. The menu is created around you, your family, your preferences, and how much food you’d like prepared. You can reserve your place during pregnancy, or book at any point after your baby has arrived.
Postpartum doesn’t end after the first 40 days. Those early weeks are a precious time for rest and recovery, but your need for nourishment and support can continue for many months and well into the first years of motherhood. Both services are here for you whenever you feel you need a little more care.
Registering doesn’t commit you to anything yet. For the Food Box, I’ll first confirm your preferred Tuesday and send your invoice. For Chef at Home, we’ll start with a short 15-minute call to discuss your wishes and create a personalised proposal.
Your booking is confirmed once payment has been received.
