Mama Meals is an organic postpartum meal service that delivers nutrient dense meals straight to your door that are designed to heal your mind, body and soul after giving birth.  They are rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Weston A. Price.  Holly started Mama Meals after having two completely different postpartum experiences.  Her first was very difficult, not knowing she was eating the "wrong" foods.  For her second, she prepped and froze over 60 meals following these principles and could not believe how much faster she healed and how much better she felt overall.

Brooke is the mama of 6 kids who never had any idea she would be an entrepreneur. For 20 years she trained people at the local gym. 8 years ago, following the death of her father, she stepped away from her work as an ICU RN because she knew that wasn't her calling. Life was too short to be doing what didn't fit anymore. Six months later she was introduced to network marketing, remained open, and flew to the top of the company, becoming a 7 figure earner in 2 years. An introvert with a small network, she decided to overcome her limitations, learn what she needed to learn, and develop new skills that would allow her to pay it forward to others. She motivates, leads, and nurtures potential in people and has gone on to create multiple 6 figure businesses, now expanding her reach far beyond network marketing. As a certified High Performance Coach and Leadership expert, she has created The Good Life Coaching Community & Mastermind, and has coached thousands of individuals. Gathering people is her heart's calling, so she created Align Events in 2019 and just this year launched her own podcast, Align The Good Life. Through her own journey and in coaching others, she has seen what it takes to make it and is the ultimate believer in the possibilities for you!
