OUR PHILOSOPHY

New mothers in America lack access to nutritional guidance, community support, and culturally inclusive resources. The first 8-12 weeks after a baby’s birth, known as the “first 40 days,” is a crucial time for the mother to be nurtured and supported.


A balanced eating regimen is grounding and key for recovery, optimal womb wellness, and long-term healing after birth. Allow yourself time and grace by nourishing your body first by making aligned choices. Our wellness experience can look different for each woman and/or teen girl depending on the value added services requested.


These healthier choices and ancestral healing modalities ultimately, positively impact your seed but also your family dynamic as it begins with you, in mind.


We provide fertility, prenatal & post-birth holistic chef services in addition to womb health consultations.

Meet the Owner

Femeika Elliott

After my own experience, I had to reflect. If I knew what I knew now, I would have handled myself better nutritionally, holistically and spiritually. As your full spectrum holistic chef, I am devoted to you—a nurturer and healer with a passion for maternal health and women’s wellness through food.


I bring my background of 7 years in whole foods education, sacred medicine and ancestral practice with over 10 years in the social work field serving marginalized communities. My love for fresh whole foods, education, community and the preservation of culture inspire my work.


I am incredibly passionate about serving my community, bringing awareness through food and women's health. From one woman to another, I encourage you to embrace your new self as you shed off the past, as I am committed to nourishing and re-birthing the best evolved you as our branded logo reflects such.


Whether it be fertility, holistic period care, womb maintenance, pregnancy, postpartum, or loss, my primary goals are to provide meal support, education, and sacred practice, nourishing the woman so that she may focus on her new stage of life, blossoming like a lotus despite her circumstances.

Our Reviews & ​Publications

Jasmine R., Lotus Mama

"I booked the Rebirth tier with The Lotus Program when I gave birth to my first child and it was the best decision I have made. Realizing how food really effects your mental health especially as a recovering woman is important. I am so happy I am rebooking another package as I have birthed my second Lotus baby! I not only recieved education on healthier choices, but so did my family. Meika is intentional about the services and experiences she provides community."

Ceremonial Offerings | Closing of the Bones

The Closing the Bones Ceremony involves the use of a traditional cloth called a “Manta” or a “Rebozo”, to rock and articulate ​the mother’s hips, followed by a complex abdominal and pelvic girdle massage using a warming oil, and then finished by ​tightly wrapping the cloth around the woman’s hips. This ceremony is designed for mothers from postpartum and beyond; ​open to all mothers at any time who wish to find transformational closure for themselves as most women find it most ​beneficial between 6 to 12 weeks postpartum. We wrap and honor different parts of her body—feet, knees, hips, shoulders, ​head. The woman is then left to rest as we hold this sacred space for her. Some energy work can be done to bring her back to ​center, balance her energy and relax her. This is a profoundly powerful tool, which acknowledges the immense challenges a ​woman has undergone in pregnancy and childbirth, and assists in bringing her spirit back into her body. Women who are ​honored in this way, experience a sense of calm and grounding. Our hope is that more women , will learn about this ​wonderful practice, and participate in a Closing the Bones ritual after birthing.

Ceremonial Offerings | Bengkuk Bellybinding

Bellybinding, a traditional postpartum practice, involves wrapping a ​long piece of cloth around a new mother's abdomen. This technique ​is believed to offer several benefits:

  • Support for the Uterus: Helps the uterus return to its pre-​pregnancy size and position more quickly.
  • Reduction of Swelling: Aids in reducing postpartum swelling by ​compressing the abdominal area.
  • Muscle Recovery: Provides support to weakened abdominal ​muscles, aiding in their recovery and preventing diastasis recti ​(separation of the abdominal muscles).
  • Improved Posture: Encourages better posture, reducing the ​strain on the back and relieving discomfort.
  • Emotional Comfort: Can offer emotional support, creating a ​sense of security and well-being for the mother.
  • Pain Relief: Helps alleviate back and pelvic pain by stabilizing ​the pelvic area.


Bellybinding practices vary across cultures, with different methods ​and materials used, but the core concept remains focused on ​providing physical and emotional support to new mothers during ​the postpartum period. Our method provides framework from the ​African and Latin Diasporic traditions using muslin cloth or rebozos.
