Founded by a mother, our company is committed to providing you with the special care you require during this incredible period of your life, with a unique insight and understanding.
 
Interview with Karen Gurwitz,
Founder of Mothers & Menus:

"When people ask me how I thought of Mothers & Menus, I tell them I was inspired by my daughter - though she was only 6 weeks old at the time." says Karen, who founded Mothers & Menus in her mind in February of 2001 with the birth of her first daughter, Nika, and brought it to existence in September of 2003 following the birth of her second child, Sophie. In February of 2005, Karen got to try Mothers & Menus as a client with the birth of her son, Ethan - and was delighted with the service!
Karen spent over a decade as a media and investor relations professional in the technology industry. Prior to that, she worked as a speechwriter and personal aide to a cabinet minister in the Israeli government. "I enjoyed my work, alot. Especially the dynamics of communicating with people all day long."

Personal quest -

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Karen earned her degree in International Business from Concordia University. "I never studied nutrition, but because I battled with my weight, I had been on a personal quest to find a healthy, balanced way of eating. As a result, I became a very educated layexpert - and was the primary resource for friends and family with questions about healthy food choices."

But after the birth of her firstborn, she noted that she was confused about what to eat - torn between wanting to lose her pre-pregnancy weight, and trying to eat well enough so that she could nurse her baby.

"It was ridiculous, I kept thinking - there has got to be some way to just have someone tell me what is good for me, and while they're at it - make it for me, put it in a box, and leave it at my doorstep."

That's how Mothers & Menus came to be. Today, Karen brings all of her experience to running Mothers & Menus: her business expertise, her knowledge about nutrition, her love of motherhood, and her desire to communicate. "I love talking to my new moms - hearing their experiences, and answering any concerns that I can. I get excited every time I hear about the birth of a new baby - that never fades for me."

Priceless service -

Asked about the cost of Mothers & Menus, Karen comments, "It's incredible that we spend so much effort, energy and money to prepare for our wedding day, and yet we see the birthing and postpartum process as something that inevitably involves suffering and tolerance. With support systems like Mothers & Menus, you can go beyond just surviving those first few weeks - to enjoy them with energy and excitement - now that is priceless! Ultimately, it's about taking care of yourself and putting yourself first so that you can then take care of your baby."
