curriculum overview

Four seasons of study, each four weeks long, with an integration week between.

Each weekly module pairs a recorded class with a live session and a weekly technique recipe.

  • Explore postpartum care across traditions, with a focus on the lineages of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Understand the nourishing foods, medicinal herbs, and cooking techniques that build a foundation of what and how to cook for mothers.

  • Practical systems for tending the hearth. Learn what each phase needs, how to cook in ways that ease the digestive load, and practice building kitchen prep flows that will sustain yourself and those you cook for.

  • Nourish the childbearing years by learning phase-specific needs from preconception through each trimester and into the first forty days, with sample meals and planning tools for building a balanced plate.

  • Bring your calling forward by defining your vision and scope of care, price your work with integrity, become visible to those who need you, and root your practice in a village that sustains it. Utilize business planning templates to create systems and integrate this training in your next chapter

For those Who are Called

Some arrive on the path through their own motherhood journey. Others feel drawn to community care or envision a service-based profession. Each carries a deep desire to offer compassionate care during a mother’s most tender transitions.

You may already work as a doula, chef, herbalist, or nutritionist—and have either witnessed the gaps in postpartum care or experienced them firsthand. You value presence over perfection and deep nourishment over nutritional dogma.

Whether envisioning in-home postpartum care, launching a meal delivery offering, or integrating sacred nourishment into an existing path, you seek guidance, community, and sustainable structure.

This training equips those with a heart of service with the practical tools, confidence, and connection needed to support the mothers of her village.

 Fill Your Cup First

Every doula must first cultivate her own nourishment rituals before offering care to others. This foundation is at the heart of Doula Chef training. By embracing these skills in your own kitchen, you lay the groundwork for providing sacred support to others.
