A Journey of Healing & Hope

Preserving More Than Fruit

What began as a therapeutic ritual, guided by my best friend and French Pastry School graduate, Jessica, quickly evolved into a mission. I didn't just want to make jam; I wanted to create something pure, honest, and filled with purpose.

The Heart of the Foundation

Foundation Preserves was born at the intersection of deep personal loss and a professional calling.


In the wake of a life-threatening partial molar pregnancy and the subsequent struggle with PTSD and panic disorder, I found my way back to myself in the simplest of places: the kitchen. It started as a return to a cherished childhood memory—coming home from gymnastics to my mother’s crepes filled with jam.

Expertise Meets Artistry

We believe that maternal wellness requires a foundation of support, both emotional and physical. My journey through pregnancy loss and the breastfeeding challenges I faced with my next two children led me to turn my lived experience into professional expertise.

  • Master of Science in Maternal & Child Health (Lactation Studies)
  • Board-Certified Lactation Professional
  • Official Partner of Postpartum Support International (PSI)

Every jar of Foundation Preserves is a reflection of this expertise. We don't just prioritize flavor; we prioritize purity. Our jams are handcrafted with high-quality, all-natural ingredients, free from the unnecessary additives found in mass-produced preserves.

Every Jar Spreads Love

Foundation Preserves is a "Jam with a Purpose." We are committed to ensuring that no family navigates the complexities of the postpartum journey alone.

Our Promise: For every handcrafted jar sold, $1 is donated directly to Postpartum Support International. Your purchase helps fund the very resources—peer support, mental health education, and professional care—that were vital to my own healing.

When you enjoy our Blueberry Lemon, Strawberry, Mixed Berry, or Strawberry Raspberry jams, you aren't just tasting the finest fruit; you are helping us build a foundation of support for mothers and families everywhere.

"I know how heavy the shadows of postpartum and pregnancy loss can be. Foundation Preserves is my way of sharing the light I found. Thank you for being part of this mission of resilience."
