Daybreak Apothecary

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🙏🏻❤️
