Spent the day cooking for a lovely mama who’s doing her best to care for herself and her baby through some challenges. I was able to fill her freezer and fridge up with delicious and nutritious food so that she can focus on other things. What a blessing to be able to care for mothers ❤️
Every visit with clients (pre- and postnatal) gives me an opportunity to connect with them, which I absolutely love 😍 -
But for clients who choose my Mothering the Mother doula package, an extended postpartum visit means Mom gets to relax 😌 in a healing herbal bath 🛀 from Cocina Cura while I get to connect with her sweet baby. 💗 So often, newly postpartum families are exhausted with ALL of the newborn maintenance and hardly get a moment to think about how to care for themselves. This visit means a new mom can take her time, really relax, and breathe deeply knowing that Baby is well taken care of. Mothering the Mother means that while a new mom is all-consumed with thinking about all of her new baby’s needs, she can trust that I will be thinking of and asking about HER needs 💜 …and hey, if I get a few new baby snuggles in the process, that’s just a bonus 😉
If you would like more information about my Mothering the Mother package, feel free to send me a message or email me at [email protected] ☺️
We just dropped off almost 100 sourdough brownies to Advanced Chiropractic Life Center to gift their wonderful members! So excited to be able to provide some tasty, nourishing treats for them❤️

Sourdough Granola Bars Coming up!!!
I made my first from scratch sourdough starter for a big batch of sourdough brownies I was hired to make and it’s ready 🤩
So I’m making sourdough granola bars with organic chia seeds, organic sprouted pumpkin seeds, and ground organic flaxseeds to support my menstrual and upcoming follicular phases of my menstrual cycle ❤️
First step is setting the oats and seeds to ferment in fresh sourdough starter overnight!
Do you utilize sourdough starter? If so, what do you make with it?
We are asking our community for donations! We know that finances are tight for most of us right now, and we are feeling this within our business as well. Donations will allow us to serve more families and offset the rising cost of food.
We are primarily wanting donations of:
Whole Foods (produce, grains, dairy, meat including bones and organ meat and fat, spices, sweetener including honey and maple syrup and sugar)
Deer
Any amount from a whole deer to just bones or organs
Cookware
Ideally cast iron, stainless steel, slow cookers, stoneware
Monetary donations
Donations can be on a regular basis or just one time! Anything is appreciated! And these donations will go specifically to serving the families in our community. Please reach out to us directly if you would like to donate or have any questions.
I’ve never done an intro post but I think it’s important that those who are here know a little about who I am and why I do this work.
My name is Asha. I am a wife and mother of four. Cocina Cura is my passion project. I started this business to help heal mothers after my rocky initiation into motherhood. Having a traumatic birth and no postpartum support after the birth of my first ignited my drive to help make sure other women did not have to go through what I did. Because of my upbringing I have always known that food is medicine and the postpartum time, or sacred window is no different. Through my training learning postpartum healing principles from many different traditions, as well as deepening my knowledge of the importance of how food is cultivated, Cocina Cura has been born.
When you work with me, I integrate my knowledge with your needs (cultural, spiritual, physical) and create individualized plans or food to fit those needs.
I am proud to provide this service to our area and truly believe that this medicine should be available to all mothers. I am always open to working with families and meeting them where they are. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for being here ❤️

This. Our bodies and our minds are never more transformed than after birth. When you give yourself the time and space to heal you are able to walk into that transformation in vibrancy and vitality.
You are truly in a vulnerable state postpartum, where you have been stretched emotionally and physically to a capacity that could never have imagined. This makes it a time where healing and support is necessary to move through and process. Having support postpartum allows you to truly heal so that you can focus on being the best mama that you can be ❤️
Dearest new mama - You are sore and leaky and more tired than you could have ever imagined. Everything is soaked in breast milk and tears. Everything hurts. Your body has literally stretched to its breaking point, or perhaps was cut open to make space for the miracle of life. Your heart aches with a love so huge it feels as though it's going to break you in half and sometimes you can’t breathe because it all feels too big. They told you about the waves of birth but no one told you about the intense waves of postpartum - the euphoria and joy that lifts you up, and the heavy weight that drops you suddenly and leaves you sobbing into receiving blankets. You look back across the sea and the journey you’ve made - and in the distance you see the maiden you once were. So much has changed in so little time and you wonder if you’ll ever find your way back to that self. You wouldn’t change this love for the world, but something inside you aches for familiar ground and the woman you once were. This is all so new and raw. But you will find your way, sweet mama. You have not left yourself behind, you’ve simply grown new wings. The maiden you with her carefree ways and wild spirit is still inside you, and always will be. Follow the compass of your heart. Allow the tears to fall. You will find your way, and your self will be waiting for you with open arms when you do. 💓

Savory Beet, Carrot, and Oat Bake topped with Walnuts and Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds
Red is the color of blood. Red foods are blood building and blood nourishing. After childbirth, blood loss is typically imminent. Foods like beets and red onion help bring the blood back to balance. Oats are also galactagogic, which means they help induce lactation. The pumpkin seeds and walnuts have been sautéed in avocado oil to ease digestion. The walnuts have also been soaked and dehydrated for optimal digestion.
I enjoyed my bake with a tahini and lime dressing and a seasonal salad 🥰
Building and strengthening our community is one of Cocina Cura’s aims. We do that by building relationships with local businesses and we do that by nourishing mothers, who hold together and build our communities. Nourishing and caring for a mother strengthens communities, which are vital if we want to thrive 💞
Good morning ☀️ we want to start the week with a little affirmation and this cute art from , thank you for the words💕
“Community means everything to us. It is through community that we are the organization that stands before you today, and it will be through community that we heal our world. Having people to lean on and keep you accountable to be your best self is the antidote to the infections that are greed, selfishness, and capitalism.
Remember: There's a collective behind you, theres support and love behind you 💓”
Image ID: red and black shapes move into a green background. A big red circle is in the middle and two people sit facing one another. They wear beanies and scarves and jackets. They have deep brown skin and black hair. The words read, “MORNING AFFIRMATIONS:
I hold community for others, and am held in community by others.”
Small price change to our menu! Our overnight oats feed a lot more than expected! You get four servings for $17. The 8oz containers they come in are perfect for a light breakfast or snack!
I have eight servings of carrot cake overnight oats available! Oats are galactagogues, which means that they increase milk production. There is also fresh ginger added to aid digestion. They are perfect for postpartum warmed up or room temperature, but anyone can enjoy them! They are dairy free but not gluten-free. They are available at whatever you can pay! I can deliver 🙂
Seasonal Dahl for dinner topped with avocado, grated carrot, cilantro, and roasted cashews.
Dahl is a wonderful food for postpartum. Cooking it with extra broth or water makes it softer and lighter. The seasonal veggies are cooked until soft tender which makes them easier to digest. Finishing it with coconut milk gives it creaminess and cooling during the summer season.
