Today I cooked for a regular — a beautiful menu designed to be light, nourishing and full of flavour. 💛
My client eats predominantly plant-based, low dairy, low fat, and with wholesome ingredients, so I built her menu around those needs.

✨ Ginger + Orange Fish with Brown Rice
🍄 Mushroom Parcels with Parsley & Cauliflower
🎃 Pumpkin Lasagne
🥔 Sweet Potato & Tuna Bake
🫐 Blueberry + Lemon Muffins
🍑 Upside Down Plum Cake

some Keto Crackers for a snack (perfect with a dip!)

The total ingredients came to $182.71, all fresh and real — no additives, no shortcuts, just food made with care and intention.

I love creating personalised menus like this — each one tells its own story, aligned with how my clients want to feel in their bodies and homes.

💛 Postpartum Meal Prep Love

Today I cooked for a mama who’s just a few weeks away from meeting her baby.
Her family — all the way down in South Australia — wanted to support her from afar. Normally, they organise a meal train after she gives birth, but since she doesn’t live nearby anymore, they all chipped in to gift her a postpartum meal-prep voucher.

They made sure she’d be nourished and cared for in those sacred first weeks — and it meant she received over 70 portions of food, plus banana bread and Ayurvedic rice pudding.

It’s such a powerful reminder that love and community can still hold us close, even across distance. 💫

🍲 Family-Style Smoky BBQ Beef Mash & Veg
🍗 Mango Chicken & Rice
🥩 Osso Buco with Dates & Ginger
🥣 Nourishing Golden Daal Soup
🥣Lemon & Pumpkin Soup
🍌 Ayurvedic Rice Pudding with Cinnamon & Baked Pear
🍞 Banana Bread with Dates & Walnuts

Happy Birthing & Easeful Postpartum Wishes 💖

Every 3 weeks I step into my longest clients calm, welcoming kitchen — it’s one of those spaces that just feels good to be in. We’ve been cooking together for just over two years, and every session is a beautiful rhythm of nourishment and care.

My client follows a low-sugar, gluten-free, dairy-free, no onion or garlic diet, so her menus are always thoughtfully tailored — wholesome, balanced, and full of flavour.

This week’s line-up included:
🥧 Chicken Pie
🍛 Fish Curry with Rice
🌭 Curried Sausages
🍗 Ginger & Orange Chicken with Sweet Potato Mash
🍋 Lemon & Blueberry Loaf
🍖 Whole Roast Chickens + Roast Veg

Sourcing the best produce from Doblos, Glenmore Seafoods, the local butcher, and Woolies, it’s always a labour of love from start to finish.

Cooking here reminds me why I started Nourish From Within — simple, intentional food prepared with care, in spaces that feel like home. 💛

Looking forward to this 💖

🌿 Homeschool Support Gathering — Tuesday, 21st October 🌿
📍 Venue: Homegrown Nature Play
🕰️ Time: 9am

Our monthly Homeschool Support Group is a place for parents to connect, share stories, and find encouragement on the journey. Whether you’re new to homeschooling, considering it, or have been walking this path for year; you’re invited.

This month, we’re so blessed to have Emily Burtt joining us as our guest speaker.
She’s travelled many paths: starting with school, then homeschooling, unschooling, and even road schooling her kids. Emily has supported her children through autism, anxiety, and autoimmune challenges, and she’ll be sharing her experience with registration and developing individual learning plans

✨ Bring along your favourite homeschooling resources!
We’ll have a little show and tell time to share what’s working for our families. Sometimes online curriculums can feel overwhelming, and it’s so helpful to see what others are actually using: what works, what doesn’t, and what sparks joy in learning. 🌻

After Emily’s talk and our resource sharing, we’ll gather in circle for open Q&A and honest conversation about real homeschool life — the rhythms, the chaos, and the beauty of learning together. 🌾

Please book online, so we know how many parents to expect. This is a free offering.

Refreshments provided. And browse our Homeschool Library!

Can't wait to see you there!

“Working with My Cycle”

Since working with Alissa, Feminine Attunement I’ve started running my business in alignment with my menstrual cycle — and it’s changed everything.

I no longer try to operate in the same energy every week. Instead, I honour the shifts, the inner seasons that move through me.

My business, Nourish From Within, feels more sustainable, spacious, and alive when I follow this rhythm.

“It’s still a process to fine-tune. Sometimes, I slip up and notice myself booking someone in, only to realise later what I’ve done. Thankfully, I have some wonderfully understanding and flexible clients that are able to accommodate these changes at times.

We’re not meant to work like machines, especially as women. We are cyclical beings. We’re meant to ebb and flow, create and rest, rise and return.

It’s such a gift to experience business through the lens of feminine wisdom. 🌿

✨ When Women Come Together ✨

Something truly special happened this week.
A beautiful group of women came together — each one contributing what she could — to gift a dear friend a postpartum meal prep package.

It wasn’t a baby shower filled with onesies or soft toys…
It was a celebration of the mother herself. 💛

Together, they pooled their love and resources to ensure she’d be nourished in the most practical, heart-centred way — with wholesome, ready-to-heat meals for those tender early days after birth.

From the shopping, to the cooking, to the delivery, everything was taken care of.
All this beautiful mama-to-be had to do was choose her menu:

🍷 Red Wine Beef with Garlic Mash
🥥 Lamb Coconut Curry with Rice
🍜 Slow-Cooked Beef Stroganoff with Noodles
🍠 Off-the-Bone Lamb Shanks with Roasted Roots
🍫 And for a sweet treat — Snickers Bites

It’s a powerful act when women come together in this way. When we remember that care doesn’t have to be complicated — it can be as simple as feeding one another. As simple as reminding a new mothe, she doesn’t have to do it all alone.

This is the village.
This is what nourishment truly looks like. 🌿
