Our Story
Made with Love and Consideration
Created by Jessica Smouha, a loving mother, foodie and nutritionist, Made for Mothers Sacred Broth has been slowly simmering since 2020.
Jessica has always had a keen interest in eating well and supporting her body with nutrient dense foods. When struggling with ectopic pregnancies, she found strength in grounding herself in a deeper knowledge of health. Studying and then practicing as a qualified nutritionist as she welcomed her two beautiful girls into the world. A further study of herbal medicine, combined with years spent travelling and finding inspiration in cultural diversity, have deeply inspired her outlook and appreciation of the ancestral and traditional approaches to health.
"When I set out to create our sacred broths, I wanted to include a more diverse range of botanical ingredients that I felt women could benefit from and which are not commonly, or adequately, consumed in our modern diets. The diversity brings nutrients into our wobbly, delicious bone broths that, quite simply, increase the density of benefits within.
Broths are a nourishing whole food that we can add to our daily routine, rich with the nutrients that play an important role in the health of our gut and thereby the health of our whole body. As every system within the body is intrinsically linked to the integrity, function and wellbeing of the gastrointestinal system.
Our sacred broths are a warming daily health ritual, and a super practical kitchen essential from which you can create a nourishing bowl for yourself or your family at any time of the day. Sharing food has always been the most basic and beautiful way of communicating love and support. And it gives me the greatest pleasure to share our deeply nourishing, sacred broths with you. Jess xx"
