Our story… we are Brock and Christina 🤍

Nourish the Mama, a postpartum meal service, was born from our shared passion and desire to serve women and our community.

As a homebirth midwife, I spent years walking alongside mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Brock, drawn to nourishment and healing, began preparing meals inspired by postpartum traditions from around the world.

Brock was dynamic, deeply spiritual, and endlessly curious. His path took him across the world, including time in the Amazonian jungles studying shamanism, nutrition, energetic healing, and global traditions. He infused each creation with love and prayer. His love could be felt not only in the nourishing food, but in the intention behind it.

Over time, this offering grew to include the herbal tinctures, teas, and remedies I had been crafting and sharing with clients for years. Our collective knowledge and passion for holistic living became the foundation of our apothecary.

I retired from homebirth midwifery and we moved from Southern California to Washington. Shortly after our big move, at 48 years old, Brock passed away. Leaving us all grief stricken.

Daybreak Apothecary is named in honor of the forest, where Brock and I spent many sweet mornings exploring and foraging in our new home in the bountiful, breathtaking Pacific Northwest.

I now pour my energy and heart into this apothecary. Into the plants, the preparations, and the women and families they are meant to support. I hope to meet you where you are and offer something that supports you through all the sacred moments, from birth to death.

Thank you for being here.
Much Love,
​Christina 🤍

Happy Saturday! Look how beautiful this yarrow oil is. I just had to share what a vibrant green it is. After losing my beloved Brock, my life has come undone in so many ways. But one thing feels crystal clear. I’m meant to continue his legacy with Nourish the Mama. I’ve slowly started getting back to playing with herbs and making some of his recipes. It feels incredibly good and honoring. We ran out of stock of our Nourish your Skin. Which is a combination of 4 oils. It truly is so beautiful watching the herbs infuse into the oil. The color change always mesmerizes me! I’ve taken several classes and over the years developed a system that is much more potent than just pouring some oil over some herbs and waiting. This is great for anyone, but in particular we made this with pregnancy bellies/labor massage in mind. Thanks for the love and patience as I slowly dip my toes back into our apothecary❤️🙏🏻

Update! If you would like anything from the shop for Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers please order by December 11th to guarantee arrival in time🎄
I just shipped some orders this morning and two of them were gifts sent to “mama and baby”. Which delights me to no end🥹Happy postpartum to those mommies.
The shop will be closed for the holidays beginning on December 19th and will open back up the first week of January!
Even though Brock and I went through so much after arriving in Washington, we still found time to explore and forage. We have some lovely herbal goodies brewing! I’m a messy forager, as the picture shows🫣
I’ve been unsure at times about the direction to take after losing Brock. It is my intention to continue to grow Nourish the Mama and Brock’s legacy.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. It means the world to me🙏🏻❤️

Nourish the Mama is open again!!! Thank you for all of the messages and love sent my way as I try to navigate life without Brock♥️ Your messages were so heartwarming. We will be open until mid December. Please consider us for holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. We ship anywhere in the US!
Before Brock’s health issues we had started to work on a rebrand. I plan on continuing his legacy next year. I have some ideas that I think may be useful to our mamas. Again thank you for your support. It means the world to me!💜

We lost our founder of Nourish the Mama, Brock Bertloff, after a 6 month journey with an aggressive- turbo cancer they called it💔
Nourish the Mama was started organically. Brock started feeding my personal homebirth mamas with aryuvedic foods and teas for postpartum. For no fee. Just to help my clients. That quickly grew as the mamas wanted to give the foods and teas to their sisters and friends when they had their babies. So Brock started Nourish the Mama. Including lots of herbal preparations to support women during pregnancy and postpartum. That then grew into a small batch apothecary.
His passion for serving the community and supporting the health of mamas and babies was heartfelt and he felt so good being useful to our community. He would drop everything at a drop of the hat if a mama was in need of something. Preparing things quickly and on the fly when requested. Always shipping things fast for a mama out of state. Or dropping something on the porch for a local mama. Or talking with you for 20 minutes offering wisdom for people Farmers market.
We will be taking a break for an undetermined amount of time as I take time to grieve this tremendous loss.
We know you all count on some of this for your pregnancy and postpartum. We will take orders until tomorrow night so you all can grab what you need before we close.
We were in the process of a rebrand when all of this happened. God willing, I will be back to grow Brock’s legacy!♥️
If you were ever touched by Brock feel free to leave a story below. Those help my heart♥️

Does your coffee lower your cortisol levels? Does it support your detox pathways? Does it nourish you?!? Does it help flush extra hormones out ie estrogen? Are your adrenals taxed and need some love? These are the things our herbal coffee does✨
Side note. I love coffee!🤭 but it doesn’t always love me. This is great for someone just wanting to support their system or reduce their caffeine intake. It’s my go-to afternoon drink! Coffee after 2pm will keep me up at night.
Don’t forget to check out our giveaway! You can find the post on our page! Share our post, tag three friends and make sure you are following us!🙌🏻
I’m so excited that the winner will also be able to choose three of their friends/family to send three bags to! So fun!☺️
