For You Postpartum, Tauranga (2025)

12/12/2021

Hi everyone! 👋🏼

Sara and I really want to say a deep and heartfelt thank you to every person who shared about our Pledge Me campaign and pledged to support us, and support this meal service coming to life!

Unfortunately, we didn’t reach our goal and therefore we don’t receive your pledges. We had some incredibly generous donations and we SO wish we could view who pledged what. We would have loved to send individual thank you’s but please let this be a big ✨ THANK YOU! ✨

For us this was a huge exercise in being vulnerable and building community and we feel so proud to have put ourselves out there. Also, we are truly affirmed that this service is so so needed.
We gained so much from running our campaign.

We are super passionate about our vision and will do our best to bring it to life with the resources we have, for those that have been waiting to order, thank you for believing in us and being so patient.

For now, we are going to take the rest of 2021 to reset and be with our families. And early next year we will be reshaping For You and getting clear on where we are starting and where we want to go. Our dream will always be to revolutionise how we honour postpartum and how we take care of postpartum parents.

Thank you for being on this ride with us. We know there are good things to come ❤️

⭐️LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT US ⭐️

This is the last day to support our campaign to help us launch our naturopathically-formulated meal packages for new parents in Feb 2022 and deliver all over New Zealand.

We created For You Postpartum to pick up the threads of community that have been lost around new parents and bring the focus back to their wellbeing.

We feel deeply that every birthing person needs and deserves to be nourished after birth and it is our mission to bring that to the birthing people of New Zealand. �
We have been inspired by the traditional ways and the wisdom that has been passed down through generations, in many cultures around the world. These cultures understand and value the importance of postpartum, this fourth trimester, and the need for healing and rest to be front and centre.

We want to reimagine and revolutionise the postpartum experience for mothers and parents in Aotearoa.

Our meal packages provide a weeks worth of meals, snacks and tea to assist healing, replenish the body after pregnancy and birth, provide the extra nutrients for breastfeeding and support the body through all the stresses that being a new parent brings.

For more information on what we are creating, click the link to check out our pledge me campaign and click “about” and/or watch our video.

If you believe in our offering you can support us by pledging to our campaign. There are rewards up for grabs too. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far 💗

Hi everybody!

An update on our Pledge Me campaign, we have crowdfunded an amazing $5,705 for this business to be!

We are so incredibly grateful for the support and the enthusiasm and love that has been shown to our budding business baby.

We have just 6 days left of our campaign. If you’ve thought of backing us and our vision, we would LOVE if you could pledge!

It’s been a vulnerable thing to call on our community to get this business off the ground. But Sara and I are both still in our own postpartums and we really want to practice what we preach, which is that receiving support is a strength and building community, instead of centring individualistic ideals, is where it’s at.

We appreciate all of you here with us, even if you’ve just been following along with our journey quietly, we love that you are here. To our pledgers, all 50 of you (so far) are making our dreams come true! 
We just received an incredible pledge from one person of $1,500!! Our first Ultimate Supporter who, as part of their reward, will be sending some families in need of support, a For You Postpartum food package. That blew us away and completely hyped us up! We don’t actually see who pledged what at this stage, so we hope we can reach our goal so we can thank each and every one of you for your generous pledge.

Link is in our bio for the campaign and if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out.

For now, we are totally CELEBRATING $5,705 from 50 of you wonderful humans who want to see us nourish postpartum parents in Aotearoa and be nourished yourself.

We are so happy to have raised over 25% of our final goal and it’s all thanks to you all!

We are at $4000 for our pledge me campaign! 🥳💕🙏🏼

And on that note ~ we wanted to talk about asking for help.

Who else cringes when they think about asking for help?! 😬For most people it feels really hard, we totally get that! However, It’s such an importance practice, especially for new parents.

Sometimes it is possible to do the thing we’re scared to ask for help with, if we really stretch ourselves and make sacrifices, but it may come at a detriment to ourselves. We love this quote as it speaks to sustainability and the importance of asking for help as a way of preserving your wellbeing. And this is vital because the wellbeing of the parents affects the wellbeing of the whole family.

We are feeling the vulnerability of it right now while we are running and promoting our campaign to raise money to get this business off the ground. The rushes of “we should be able to do this all ourselves, we shouldn’t need to ask for anyone’s help” - that classic DIY kiwi attitude.
But the reality is, we are new mothers too, and we don’t want to do it all by ourselves. We need the support of our community for this one 🤎

We want to invite you to practice asking for help with us. Is there an area of your life that feels heavy and could do with some extra help? Can you imagine what it would feel like to not have to do that thing all by yourself? 😌
Here’s your sign to go and ask for support ✨ you deserve it.

✨ REWARDS ✨

One of the rewards for pledging to support us via our Pledge Me () campaign is this beautiful organic ceremonial cacao from , run by our dear friend Lucy.

Ceremonial cacao is a plant medicine. You may know of cacao powder, used abundantly, cacao in this form is traditionally made into a hot drink to sip on in ceremony.

In this stage (as 100% pure cacao) this magic is completely unrefined, making a rich, heart-opening drink and ritual.
Simply chop or shred some off the block, heat with water and add sweetener of your choice.

Lucy also includes an intention setting card with each bag of cacao, a reminder of the power of a home practice with cacao.

This cacao is grown in Peru and is of the native strain, criollo, encouraging the restoration of native strains in Peru and supporting sustainable practices.

Antioxidant rich, cacao contains many minerals such as magnesium and zinc and is full of bliss compounds, that uplift the spirit and calm the mind whilst encouraging a centred state of being.

No matter if you are postpartum or not, self-care and ritual are both powerful acts that cannot be underestimated.

A wonderful way to cultivate a sense of peace is by connecting with the wisdom and medicine of this cacao.

The Postpartum period is valued and honoured in many cultures around the world. Korean, Chinese, Indian, Latin American and Malawian culture to name a few..

Reading through these slides you will notice the common threads:
♥ rest
♥ confinement
♥ warmth
♥ nourishment
♥ community care
♥ ceremony

These cultures understood the importance of healing after birth to support the parent and babies long term health and wellbeing. This makes a lot of sense to us!

At For You Postpartum we want to bring back the Art of caring for new parents postpartum by using these traditional practices and wisdom to inspire our offerings. All of our meals are nutrient dense, warm, easy to digest and infused with herbs to support healing and breastfeeding. Everything is ready to eat and delivered to your door to bring back the sense of community care or having a village, which most of us in this western society are missing. Providing nourishment so that you can focus on resting and caring for your new baby.

If you believe in our business please support our Pledge Me Campaign so we can start delivering nourishment packages to new parents all over NZ in Feb 2022. Link in our bio 💞

Why is the food we eat after birth so important?

When considering the importance of postpartum nutrition there’s a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you’ve just spent 9 months growing a human and then went through the intense initiation of labour and birth!💥 The physical demands of both of these is huge. Now, if you are breastfeeding, you have yet another high nutritional demand on the body. The body needs nutrition in order to provide adequate milk for your newborn baby. With that in mind, replenishing the body by choosing to eat nutrient dense and nourishing foods is essential!

What we eat in those first few weeks after birth also plays a huge role in how we recover from birth. Food provides nutrients needed to support many important physical functions and helps our bodies to heal. Our hormones are changing dramatically yet again and the food we eat can either support or challenge that process. Furthermore we can choose foods that are warming to further promote healing and use specific foods and spices to further support healing and provide energy to the body, which is common in many traditional postpartum practices.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine nourishing a new parent with warm, easy to digest and nutritious food is a fundamental part of postpartum care. In Ayurvedic philosophy those first 40 days after birth is said to shape the next 40 years of the birthing persons life. Let that sink in.

A healthy, nourished, new parents sets the tone for a positive parenting journey and longterm health and wellbeing! Plus, a healthy and nourished parent = a healthy and nourished baby ✨

Postpartum depletion is far too common in our western society and can have long lasting health effects such as a dysregulated nervous system, insomnia, postpartum anxiety and depression, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue and weight gain (to name a few).

This is why we created For You Postpartum. To provide a service that ensures new parents are well nourished because IT IS SO IMPORTANT, and, we get it… With a new baby its hard to find the time to prepare healthy food.

Thats where we come in, we got you māmā! Let us nourish you in the way you deserve to be nourished! 🙏

If you believe in our vision, please check out our pledge me campaign and donate. We need your support ❤️
