Revery Meals
Suzanne Conley has always had a deep passion for food, firmly believing in the concept of “food as medicine.”
“My own postpartum experience illuminated this belief in new ways. Despite my thorough preparation during pregnancy, including my understanding of nutrition and calorie needs, I was unprepared for the intensity of healing and the demands of meal planning and cooking after giving birth. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and disheartened in the kitchen, struggling to find the energy to prepare a meal.
This personal struggle inspired the creation of Revery. One of the most cherished postpartum meals I received came from a dear friend: a crock-pot full of congee waiting for us upon returning home from the hospital. It was a soul-warming, nourishing dish that conveyed her love and support. My goal with Revery is to offer you a similar experience—a comforting, nurturing meal that feels like a warm hug from a close friend. You deserve that kind of care and support, too.
My professional background is in nursing, with seven years as a pediatric nurse followed by eight years as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I furthered my expertise through a fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, where my love for nutrition flourished, as well as new loves, including herbalism, supplements, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. The meals at Revery are heavily inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic principles. They are easy-to-digest, warming, and nutrient-dense. Postpartum is such a time for healing and recovery, and these meals are meant to aid your body and soul in doing just that.”
