Who We Are
The Foodie Doula was born from the belief that food can be a form of care, connection, and change. We know that how we grow, prepare, and share food has the power to transform both our personal healing and our collective food systems.
Founded by Teyler Wallace, a doula, cook, urban farmer, and community care worker, The Foodie Doula bridges ancestral food traditions with contemporary nourishment. Our meals are crafted in small batches rooted in seasonal abundance, farm-to-table sourcing when possible, and a deep respect for the earth and those who tend to it.
Through our Community Supported Food Justice (CSFJ) Program, we source produce from local and BIPOC farmers whenever possible and transform those ingredients into healing, home-style meals for families and community members navigating moments of transition- pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and recovery.
We honor the wisdom of our ancestors by cooking with intention, using time-honored ingredients and practices that remind us that nourishment is not just about feeding the body, it’s about belonging, remembering, and reclaiming connection.
The Foodie Doula is part of a growing movement to change local food systems from the ground up. We envision a food ecosystem rooted in justice, reciprocity, and care, where the people who grow our food are supported, and the people who eat it feel seen, nourished, and loved.
Each meal we prepare is an act of care and resistance, made slowly and shared with purpose. Because when we feed each other well, we build the world we all deserve to live in.
Meal Deliveries
The Foodie Doula Community Supported Food Justice (CSFJ) Program is the heart of The Foodie Doula. Rooted in care, connection, and collective nourishment, this program delivers thoughtfully prepared, healing meals directly to community members who need them most.
We source seasonal, organic ingredients from local BIPOC farmers and small producers whenever possible, strengthening local food systems and honoring the hands that grow our food. Each meal is prepared in small batches with intention, bridging farm to table through recipes that carry ancestral wisdom, cultural memory, and deep nourishment.
Our menus are designed to support life’s tender transitions and transformations—pregnancy, postpartum recovery, grief, illness, or simply the need for grounding, wholesome food. Whether you’re resting, healing, or offering support to a loved one, our meals are made to comfort and restore.
Through partnerships with community organizations like Rams Embrace Kindezi, 18 Reasons, and Contra Costa Black Infant Health, we deliver free or subsidized meals to families and others navigating moments of care. Every meal delivered through CSFJ helps sustain this cycle of mutual support: when you subscribe, donate, or partner with us, you’re helping feed and uplift the community we all belong to.
At The Foodie Doula, our workshops are where food, healing, and community come to the table. We believe that nourishment starts long before a meal is cooked, it begins with the soil, the seed, and the stories we inherit.
Our classes invite you to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate your own rhythms of care through food. Whether you’re tending a garden for the first time or learning to season with intention, each offering is designed to restore connection to land, lineage, and self. we host seasonal classes on Home Garden Cultivation, Holistic Meal Prep and The Anatomy of a Healing Stew.
