Warrior Nourishment looks to life’s priming, pregnancy, and postpartum windows as some of the most pivotal moments for both adult and baby. With greater demands on oneself than most have ever experienced, it is an incredible decision for uterus-possessing individuals to be empowered to strengthen their inner trust in becoming a parent. Warrior Nourishment looks to empower, uplift, and nurture the innate wisdom and strength that is demanded of oneself during the fertility journey deep into postpartum years.
WN is rooted in support for this chapter of life because of the challenging birth journeys Chelsea’s Grandmother, Mom, and Sisters have each endured. The trauma that has passed down through multiple lines of women have been turned into the cornerstone of her empathy and identity as a daughter, auntie, and holistic clinician. The more Chelsea explored the women’s health landscape, the more she found herself heartbroken by the contrast between the effort poured into a successful birth and the attention so quickly shifted over from birther to baby moments after taking its first breath. The expectation of rapid healing amidst complete exhaustion and overwhelm has typically meant postpartum bodies have felt neglected, misunderstood, and doomed for failure.
As the change maker Chelsea is, Warrior Nourishment is her actionable response to the way it was traditionally, successfully done amongst cultures throughout the world. By grounding the expanding human with the feelings of protection through heart-centered caregiving, Warrior Nourishment embodies the form of “Warrior Sustenance,” so that this pattern can be broken. With ayurvedic intentionally curated at-home meals in the postpartum packages, along with botanically-infused ghee spreads available nation-wide, the essential values of a healthy pregnancy and healing postpartum: ease, support, warmth, and rest, can be achieved.
Warrior Nourishment draws value and purpose from a quote in the First Forty Days, The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother by Heng Ou, that the Mother “is the source from which all life springs… if her cup runs dry, then nobody drinks.” Warrior Nourishment is here to ensure no new parent is ever running dry so that they can, their world can, and our world can not just continue to turn, but thrive.
