About Soul House & Gardens

Where wellness, nourishment, and community come together

Our Story

Soul House & Gardens began as a garden-inspired culinary and community experience centered on storytelling and gathering. But as our organization grew, families began turning to us for more, for support during pregnancy, for postpartum guidance, for nutrition help, and for a safe space to share their experiences.


Over time, our work naturally shifted as we realized we were being led toward a larger assignment: building a place where maternal and family wellness could truly take root.


Today, Soul House & Gardens is evolving into a holistic wellness hub grounded in:

  • Maternal care
  • Postpartum support
  • Family-centered nutrition
  • Healing through food & garden spaces
  • Cultural connection
  • Community education
  • Wellness circles & emotional support


Our foundation is still food, culture, and community, but our purpose has grown.

The Soul House Difference

What makes our approach unique

Holistic Maternal Care

We support mothers physically, emotionally, and nutritionally through pregnancy and postpartum.
Our approach integrates education, wellness practices, family-centered support, and culturally rooted care to help mothers feel informed, confident, and embraced.

Culture-Centered Nutrition

Food is medicine — especially for mothers and families.
We teach accessible, culturally grounded nutrition that reflects heritage, tradition, and real-life needs.
Families learn how to cook healing foods, understand pregnancy-safe meals, and use ingredients from the garden to support whole-body wellness.

Community Healing  & Storytelling Spaces

Soul House & Gardens is a home for connection.
We create warm spaces where mothers can gather, share their stories, rest, and heal together. Through circles, group sessions, and community conversations, families find belonging, emotional support, and the reminder that they are not alone.

Food & Garden Integration

Nature and nourishment are central to our work.
We use hands-on gardening, herbal learning, sensory garden spaces, and garden-based activities to promote calm, grounding, and healing. Families engage with food from seed to table- growing, touching, tasting, and cooking together with intention.
