About Us
Hi, I’m Aliza, and I’m so excited you landed here!
I’m the (very proud) owner here at Franjos Kitchen. I’m also a registered midwife, perinatal mental health specialist, podcaster and mama to my beautiful one-year-old daughter.
For me and my amazing team here at Franjos Kitchen, it’s not just about producing healthy and functional food. It’s about helping mums navigate the beautiful yet wild road of motherhood.
We know what sleep deprivation, overwhelm and immense mental load feels like - but we also know the pure joy that comes from being a parent. We want you to know that you’re not alone, no matter how your day (or week) is going. You have a team of mums and parents cheering you on and sending you love, always.
When you eat and drink our biscuits, muesli and hydration powders, we want it to feel like we’re giving you a warm and delicious hug (or a high five with a ‘you’ve got this’ feel to it). Whether you’re struggling to keep anything down while pregnant, worried about your milk supply or needing hydration and energy, we hope our functional and nourishing products make mum life that little bit easier for you.
