THE #1 POSTPARTUM PLANNING RESOURCE I RECOMMEND TO ALL EXPECTING MOMS
Nested & Nourished
Approach postpartum with ease with the 4 non-negotiables every mama should know! Including the 5 easiest and most nutrient dense meals to prep, secrets for deep sleep spurts, the most important rooms to “nest” - no, the nursery isn’t one of them - and a script to clearly and confidently ask for help you actually need.
Following the birth of our little ones, we forever think, feel, act, and perceive the world around us differently. And honestly, what a beautiful thing - IF you have the tools to process that transition!
Listen, I get it.
You've dedicated hours to understanding contractions, breathing techniques, selecting your support team, and creating the perfect birth playlist, and the reality of what comes next has taken a back seat.
The classes, the books, the birthing plans—they've consumed your thoughts. But I have felt the unspoken fear lingering beneath the surface, the one you may not have voiced yet: What about life after the birth?
Does this sound familiar?
Your heart is filled with joy, yet there's a shadow, a whisper of fear that dances on the edges of your excitement
In attempt to “help” everyone warns you of all the things to prepare for - the loss of sleep, the loss of identity, the overwhelm - yet no advice is given and it leaves you wondering if you're strong enough for the journey ahead
It’s been months of change, months of looking at and learning a new version of self. Everyone says you’ll “bounce back”, with time, but will you ever recognize the woman looking back at you in the mirror?
You question if your relationship will weather the storm of the sleepless nights, endless responsibilities, emotional highs and lows
You’re overwhelmed at the thought of wondering how you'll ever juggle your previous responsibilities, caring for this tiny being, and caring for yourself
You’re fearful of the shifting identity, of questioning if you can be a great mom and still hold onto the essence of who you are
Everyone asks how they can help but accepting and delegating support feels like defeat
You’re already struggling to meet work deadlines with your existing workload and preparing for maternity leave has become a second full-time job that you feel behind in preparing yourself mentally, emotionally and physically
You are wondering if you have made the biggest mistake of your life. Are you really ready to be a parent when you still feel like a kid yourself?
I am a doer by nature and that's what I did all throughout my first postpartum journey, I did household chores, I was extremely fatigued and felt isolated at times. With Chelsea's Core Care Cultivate Methodology in her postpartum workbook I feel more prepared than ever and I am actually ready to embark on this next postpartum journey. I am not only confident but excited for postpartum with baby number two.

Here's The Thing, It's Not Your Fault
From the moment people find out you're pregnant, it's like a floodgate of conversations opens, and they're all about the pregnancy itself. It’s like everyone gathers around, eager to dive into the pregnancy playbook—gender guesses, baby names, and an unending stream of advice about how to get that perfect glow.And you know what? It’s easy to get swept away in it. I remember it well—the endless discussions about stroller options, the baby room color palette, and the never-ending debates about breastfeeding versus bottles.
We've all been there!
We've all been so caught up in the anticipation, the baby showers, and the birth plans, that we forget about the chapters that come after the birth. We forget to plan for the uncertainty beyond the first cries and golden hour. Things like:
Align with our postpartum goals to determine the best sources of nourishment
Stock the pantry with quick and easy snacks
Plan out our grocery hauls for either our husband or family or friends to restock the refrigerator when our frozen meals run out
Wait, frozen meals? Did we think to prep those??
Organize a meal train
Learn our own ideal sleep schedules
Plan for overnight feedings
Set our own sleep sanctuary (which is probably where the baby sleeps for the first several weeks to months too)
Research which products we need for recovery
What rooms we need to prep for our recovery
Order the products and organize the home to be supportive for our own arrival home and recovery
Schedule our own post-birth check-ins with practitioners to support us mentally, emotionally, and physically
Find the postpartum support group that is not only geographically convenient but aligned with our values and way of life
Etc, etc, etc...
But here's the good news: there is a wave of women preparing for and doing postpartum differently…
Hi! It's me, Chelsea
INHC, WIFE, MAMA & PODCASTER
I support expecting moms with preparing for their 4th trimester so they can best care for their little ones without compromising their sleep, sanity, and self-identity.
Unlike other postpartum coaches, I’m not going to just give you a 12-week plan and send you on your way. I’m also not going to teach you to start your day before your little ones and expect that to solve all of your problems. Because let’s be real, just when we think we know their schedule it changes and we need our sleep just as much as they do!
Let's face it: Having and raising kiddos is not what it was when we were growing up. And taking advice from older generations can be challenging when our resources are very different from their's were.
Motherhood isn't meant to be done alone.
I support expecting mamas with planning for the transition to life after birth
following the Core Care Cultivate methodology.
With almost a decade of experience working in the wellness industry, and a fellow mama myself, I am committed to being at the forefront of holistic ways to address postpartum.
INTRODUCING...
Nested & Nourished
A proven, self-paced, step by step course to ensure you are prepped with the easiest and most nutrient dense meals to support your postpartum goals, get the deepest sleep in those short but sacred windows, make your home conducive for baby and your recovery, AND perhaps most importantly are getting the support you actually need.
01 NOURISH
“Nourishment” is one of the top questions mama’s have about postpartum recovery. And for many reasons, I totally get it. It’s a life-line for both mama and baby. It’s believed to have the largest influence on overall well-being. And while every mama knows how important it is to keep herself nourished, we naturally knock ourselves down on the list of priorities, to ensure everyone else is set before addressing our own needs. The Three Little Bears tale hits differently now, doesn’t it?!
We kick off your prep for nourishment by aligning with your anticipated goals postpartum. You’ll learn how your needs and preferences can influence your individual meal planning, prevent yourself from making the biggest mistake I made in those earlier weeks postpartum, and set a strategy for your first month's worth of meals.
02 SLEEP
A mama’s sleep is never the same postpartum. And as you’ve experienced with your first, those recommended 8-hours of sleep have become just that - a recommendation! And don’t worry, I’m not going to tell you to sleep when the baby sleeps to help hit that quota.
In fact, I’m going to encourage you to stop tracking the quantity of sleep all together. With this release, you can shift all your attention off the quality of your sleep so you can focus on the quality of it. Which good news, is actually something you have influence on!
03 ENVIRONMENT
Remember the 19 stuffed animals and piles of personalized blankets you got at your shower? While kind gestures they’re only going to cause overwhelm for both you and your baby. Honestly, most of the things you were gifted or ordered will be overwhelming clutter for the first few weeks. Some you won’t even use for the first 3-6 months.
In this section we go over the key areas of your home to “nest”, step-by-step. And no - the nursery isn’t one of them.
04 SUPPORT
Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone. And truth be told, this is perhaps the most important pillar of the Core Care Cultivate methodology. The interesting thing about support is that most of our society is in a chronic independency mentality.
As a Leo, enneagram 3, and the oldest, I am the queen of proving I can do it all, looking like I have it all together, and know it all. Accepting help, and even moreso being direct in my requests for help are both areas that I continue to practice getting better with. Whether you have family nearby, welcoming the support of your neighborhood, or hiring out your support, we’ll walk through things to consider here. You didn’t ask for it - but if I can give one piece of advice in this pillar - do not rely solely on the support of your husband during this period. No matter how much he offers - you both deserve external support from trusted source(s).
Think of this as a a gift you give yourself than when you're expecting and don't know what to expect.
