Cooking for Moms
A specialized kitchen skill — and a real, paid way to support new mothers.
The Postpartum Kitchen Apprenticeship teaches you how to cook the meals a new mom actually needs, and how to build something real around it.
Cooking for women who just gave birth is a real profession — most people just don't know it yet.
Postpartum chefs are one of the most requested — and hardest to find — parts of postpartum care. Warm, nourishing meals, made simply, delivered with care. It's a real professional specialty. And if you already love to cook, you already have half the skill.
The Postpartum Kitchen Online Apprenticeship is for women who want to support others in their community — without attending births, without being on-call, and without leaving their children.
The Postpartum Kitchen is for you if...
You love to cook.
You already enjoy being in the kitchen — for family, for friends, for the joy of it. You're looking for work that's flexible, meaningful, and fits around your own life. You've never thought about postpartum meals as a specialty, but it's exactly the kind of care you already know how to give.
You already work with new moms.
You're a doula, birth worker, midwife, or lactation consultant. You already understand what postpartum support requires. The Postpartum Kitchen gives you a new, differentiated service to add to your practice — and a new way to support the families you already serve.

What Cooking for Moms looks like, in practice
"Sophie is a guiding light in the maternal paradigm. As a postpartum doula, I have renewed my commitment to servicing families during the fourth trimester, while bringing healing food to the forefront."
— Rebecca, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
"I added postpartum meal support to my doula practice — it's now one of the things clients ask for by name."
— Doula & graduate
As a long time healing foods chef myself, I felt my own fire reignite inside at the importance of this work. It is true, cooking is ritual and our American culture has much to learn about taking care of all mothers who birth life into this world. I appreciate Sophie being a pioneer in this realm and know I am richer for taking her course. Thank you Sophie!”
— Kristin, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
"The Postpartum Kitchen course has become a turning point for me. After struggling for years with depletion and exhaustion following the births of my daughters, I am so grateful that I came across Sophie’s work and was able to learn from her.”
— Meghan, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“Sophie helped me move forward in my own healing and helped illuminate a clearer picture of how I can use my story and the knowledge I have gained about postpartum nutrition and care into something that will serve the women in my community.”
— Anna, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
"Sophie’s class gave me hope for women being supported and held as they are born into motherhood. This class was so much more than a class on amazing food, although it was that too, but on the deep importance of mothering the mother and on nourishing women from the inside out so that they can be empowered while they raise this planet’s future.”
— Krista, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“I have found the classes invaluable in gaining better understanding into how we can most effectively nourish and nurture ourselves and others in the postpartum journey, rooted in wisdom from rituals, ceremonies and traditions around the world. My hope is that this continues to mobilize and transform the postpartum experience for women everywhere as it is so vitally needed.”
— Alissa, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“I now feel that mothers dedicated to their healing is the highest act of love for their children, community and themselves.”
— Sara, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
"This class was so much more than a class on food. It was about the deep importance of mothering the mother — nourishing women from the inside out so they can be empowered while they raise this planet's future."
— Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“As a new mother myself, I have come to understand how critical postpartum is. It’s a vulnerable time with much-needed restoration for the family, especially the mother. Taking part in the apprenticeship program has allowed me to expand my knowledge of the power of healing foods. She covered postpartum nutrition and the value of self-care through energy and intention as a key component for all-around healing. I appreciated the nutrition content as well as the reminder to implement it in our daily lives as a way to stay in touch with the work. I’m looking forward to applying all that I have learned and continue the work in my community.”
— Arlen, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“I highly recommend the Postpartum Kitchen Online Apprenticeship – both for those starting postpartum food delivery programs as well as those in the journey of motherhood. It has deepened and enriched my journey immensely and I truly can’t recommend it highly enough.”
— Karissa, Postpartum Kitchen graduate
“I feel enhanced, confident, aware and ready to start my journey in the postpartum evolution in my community, city and country. Thank you so much.”
— Monalisa, Postpartum Kitchen graduate

MEET SOPHIE
Former Private Chef & Creative Mentor
Sophie Ward Koren is a mother, author, creative mentor and former private chef whose work explores the relationship between a woman’s physical wellbeing and her fullest creative expression.
She believes that female resilience begins in a place deeper than we think — in our nervous systems, our rhythms, and in the foundational ways we care for our bodies. Before a woman can fully make, lead, build or bring her ideas to the table, there is something more fundamental that needs to come to her plate first.
Sophie’s writing has been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and The Sunday Times. She lives in Ojai, CA with her partner Isaac Koren and their two children.
