About Push Platters
Hello, my name is Elena. I am the proud mum of 2-year-old twin boys, and the founder of Push Platters.
Push Platters was born from a postpartum twin mum with too many post-pregnancy cravings and not enough time in the newborn haze to meet them.
Pregnancy was the most challenging experience of my life. Almost weekly scans and appointments, a high risk pregnancy, MANY trips to hospital either for my babies health or for my own – by the time my babies were born i was both mentally and physically exhausted. Self care was buried under mountains of laundry and a neglected house, our days spent traveling between home and the special care nursery to see our boys. The foods I’d been missing for months had to wait a little longer.
Thankfully, my village knew me and arrived with trays of sushi, sashimi, tiramisu and the softest, creamiest cheese in Melbourne. I will forever remember that support, and found it to be so much more helpful than another onesie (or two)!
Now, two years on, i want to give that gift of food to the mums of Melbourne.
Push Platters provides comprehensive, luxury platters to fulfill EVERY pregnancy craving and beyond. Deli meats, soft cheese, salmon sashimi, chocolate mousse and more! One platter, every need met.
We aim to meet dietary requirements (gluten-free, dairy-free) where possible, especially now with more and more babies found to have cows milk allergies.
Our platters are delivered through our carbon-neutral refrigerated courier. No need to leave the house when you’re nap trapped! We also deliver to hospitals so new parents like we were, can stay with their babies and still have that self care.
Push Platters is the ultimate gift for a new mum.
