CREATED BY COURTNEY LAFOURCADE

Created from the care I wanted more mothers to have access to.

Courtney Lafourcade

Courtney Lafourcade

Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, Integrative Nutrition Coach, and holistic chef.

For years, I’ve worked with mothers during one of the most vulnerable and transformative periods of their lives—preparing food, supporting recovery, teaching traditional postpartum practices, and helping families understand what caring for the mother can look like. But most women will never have a postpartum doula in their home for 42 days. I created Mothersource to make this knowledge and practical guidance available wherever you are—not as another library of information, but as a trustworthy place to begin with: What do I need now?

Here’s what matters today.

Your body is still adjusting after birth. Digestion may be delicate, energy can fluctuate, and rest and regular nourishment matter. Mothersource turns that understanding into a clear, stage-specific plan.

Quote
I didn't realize how much postpartum preparation could change my experience. Her approach to nourishment, recovery, and holistic postpartum care helped me feel more confident, more informed, and better equipped to care for both myself and my baby. The knowledge I gained continues to shape the way I approach motherhood, and I only wish every mother had access to this kind of guidance."

"Before working with Courtney, I had no idea how much support a mother truly needs after birth. Learning about nourishment, body care, and simple daily recovery practices completely changed the way I experienced postpartum. I felt more prepared, more confident, and understood what my body needed during those first weeks. The guidance I received is something I'll carry with me throughout motherhood."

"One of the biggest takeaways for me was understanding that postpartum recovery deserves just as much preparation as birth itself. This course helped me become more intentional about how I nourished my body, cared for myself, and approached recovery. Looking back, I only wish I had learned these practices during pregnancy rather than three weeks postpartum."
