Motherhood with Keturah

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made investing in Keturah's postpartum meal service for 6 weeks. My husband and I are new parents and there wasn't a single day during which we didn't feel grateful to have had Keturah's meals in our fridge. There is so much going on after birth and we really wanted to focus our time and energy bonding with our baby. We didn't want to worry about what food to eat but also wanting to ensure that we are supporting my body after birth. It was incredibly helpful to have my husbands set up and share the same food which was freshly delivered by Keturah. It was a time where we could connect as a couple and focus on just us whilst knowing that we are nourishing our bodies.It was such a beautiful experience, one that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a specialised postpartum meal service cooked by someone who is absolutely passionate and experienced in supporting mothers postpartum. Keturah puts her heart and soul into the food she prepares for you. If you want to maximise your recovery and set yourself up for a healthy start as a mother, it's definitely worth the investment.

I came across Keturah’s service via several channels. One is my own Google search for postpartum meal delivery, another was a referral from a friends mother’s group.Being proactive about my own care in pregnancy and postpartum, I booked a pregnancy massage with Keturah. I had such a wonderful experience with Keturah caring for my body during pregnancy.Then I reached out for a discussion of a birth doula and postpartum meal service.Although I didn’t end up utilising Keturah's services during my birthing experience, she was there with me massaging my body until a few days before my prelabour.We booked the meal service and postpartum support service. With the meal service, I had trialed a few different options with different providers, and my tastebuds and my body agreed with Keturah’s food. One thing I was especially appreciative of is not only the customisation of the meals across the 6 weeks, but also the freshly made food, (delivered) instead of frozen meals. Keturah understands a new mother’s body needs a special care right after birth and gradually expanded back to normal meals because of new mother’s vulnerable digestive system. I could say 100% that I was very well cared for.As for the postpartum doula service, it was definitely needed for us as we don’t have a solid support network around us, and with me taking charge of my own mental health management. Keturah played an import role of holding a space for us in the postpartum period. Not only the basic needs of having some house work done whilst my partner was away for work, but also solid affirmative hands around who shared her expertise without imposing her own views. A friend I could walk down to the beach or park with in the hours where most of my friends are working and my partner is away.Especially the nights where my partner works away, and I needed someone to go through the witching hours with me, she was there forever present, so I could have a bite to eat before I return to nursing my daughter. She was there to guard us so my daughter and I felt safe and sound. Knowing someone is there for us even without her doing anything in particular was what I needed sometimes.I would recommend Keturah and her business Motherhood with Keturah to anyone who is having second thoughts; take control and be in charge with one’s own well-being especially postpartum is the best thing I have ever done for my new family and I.

I was so lucky to find Keturah after the birth of my son in March 2022.Keturah visited me in my home every week for six weeks. She provided the most nourishing and delicious meals. Her soups and bone broth were a real stand out.The lactation cookies are amazing to snack on while feeding.All perfect for postpartum recovery.Keturah is also a fantastic massage therapist. Part of my package was a weekly massage. This was amazing to help with the fluid retention after labour and the new aches and pains from breastfeeding and holding baby.Keturah is a mother of two beautiful sons.She has given me so much valuable advice and support over the time I have known her.I really can't thank Keturah enough!

I booked my partner in for a pregnancy massage with Keturah and it has been one of the best decisions we have made in the build up to birth at 36 weeks.From the initial email enquiry Keturah was patient to answer all my questions and explain her different services available. On the day, she was so kind, authentic and unrushed you just feel her love for her work and her eagerness for her clients to enjoy the pregnancy/birth experience. Keturah is not a clock watcher and her heart is in her job - my partner (who is fussy with massage!) simply raved about the high quality of the massage and my girlfriend has been on a massive high of confidence and relaxation since the appointment.We will definitely be back to see Keturah, her calming words and relaxing hands are extremely recommended!

We were gifted postpartum meals from Keturah. They were delicious and nutritious and made a huge difference to our ability to focus on our new born while still staying well fed!After getting to know Keturah, we also enrolled in her baby massage course. It was really interesting - we learnt a lot both from Keturah (whose presence is so naturally calming and kind) as well as the other parents in the class. Luckily my partner could come along as well, and it was a great way to spend time in a relaxed environment with people who were at the same point in their parenting journey as us. Highly recommend!

Baby massage at Motherhood with KeturahI found Keturah being the most caring and knowledgeable post-part doula and massage therapist. Her baby massage workshop was very educational and wholistic. My baby and I enjoyed being nurtured by the knowledge, the snacks and the topics discussed during the workshop.

I engaged Keturah for pregnancy and post-partum massages and as a birth doula. I love massages and get them regularly and had been quite disappointed with the specialist pregnancy massages I received in the inner west, finding them weak and a bit gimmicky. However, Keturah provided me with some of the best massages of my life (pregnancy and not!)As a birth doula, Keturah went above and beyond, extremely generous with her time and advice, sharing lovely treats (teas, bath bombs and foods). She was also incredibly patient and supportive to my partner and I in figuring out what we wanted out of our birth and postnatal period (no mean feat - we are extremely indecisive) and deconstructing and preparing how we could make the process work for us. Keturah was good company, supportive, kind and respectful of our wishes during the birth … and I actually enjoyed my birth - which I don’t think many can say!!Would highly recommend Keturah’s postpartum support too as her food is delicious.

As a part of my postpartum self care plan, I’d bought Keturah’s postpartum meals package and I’d say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made for myself! Freshly prepared meals were not only healthy (for after birth recovery) but also flavourful. And Keturah kept all communication clear and food deliveries were prompt. My goto have been her special lactation cookies and chicken broth.I highly recommend Keturah’s meals package for expecting and new mums!

My mum gifted me some postpartum meals from Keturah since she couldn't be here after my baby was born. Keturah's meals were totally gourmet - restaurant quality! I especially loved the Mother Nourish Bowls and the Cinnamon, Almond and Lamb curry. My older child was also a fan of the Chicken Ginger soup. The food was delivered in batches so that they could be eaten fresh or over a couple of days. Couldn't ask for a better service for home delivered meals!
