Hi, I’m Holly.

I’m a mom of three, and breastfeeding has been a huge part of my motherhood journey. I breastfed my first two for over two years each, and I’m currently nursing my 15-month-old.

When my first was born back in 2016, I went into motherhood determined to breastfeed for at least two years. What I didn’t expect was how something so natural could feel so Unnatural. I had taken a breastfeeding class, but thankfully I had a lactation consultant who came to my home—that was a game changer.

As a crunchy-ish mom who loves to cook and bake, I was excited when I discovered that “lactation cookies” were a thing. I started making healthier versions in my kitchen, both for myself and for my new-mom friends. I definitely noticed a small boost in my supply, which was especially helpful because at the time I was also pumping for a local mom who couldn’t breastfeed.

But while breastfeeding eventually felt smooth, my postpartum experience did not. I was eating cold, dry foods that left me constipated, depleted, and just not feeling like myself. Then I stumbled upon The First Forty Days by Heng Ou and learned the power of warm, soft, nourishing foods—soups, stews, broths—rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and ancestral wisdom.

So when I became pregnant with my daughter Blaire, I committed to doing things differently. I filled my freezer with 60 homemade meals inspired by Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and Nourishing Traditions by Weston A. Price. The difference was unbelievable.

Every meal made me feel supported, grounded, and cared for—like I was being wrapped in a warm hug. My postpartum recovery felt easier, smoother, and far more peaceful… even with a toddler in tow. And for the first time, ZERO constipation.

In 2021, we launched Restorative Roots, our postpartum meal delivery company, built on these same healing principles. Alongside the meals, I offered the lactation treat mixes I’d been making for years and they quickly took on their own following, so we decided to give them their own home.
