What to Expect When Working With Me
Here’s what happens in a consultation
Upon receiving your food journal and health intake form, I do all the heavy lifting to see what foods to recommend to you considering your health history, current stage of pregnancy preparation / pregnancy / postpartum, health goals, and food preferences.
I take you through a step by step process to help you understand each nutrient you need and how to get it via food. I’ll get to know you, your eating habits, and food preferences so that I can help you incorporate foods that work in conjunction with one another to maximize absorbability so your body can use it during this critical season of your pregnancy journey.
Prenatal Multivitamins & Supplementation
It is up to you if you decide to go with one - I always prefer a food first approach. I will always make recommendations based on a “food first and supplementation as needed” outlook on a case by case basis considering your food intake, unique health history, goals, and more.
I get that during pregnancy, there are so many restrictions. By consulting with me, I will tell you which foods are actually safe (more than you might’ve been told), which foods aren’t great for you/baby (& why), and which foods you can include by empowering you with the information you need to make informed decisions next time you’re craving sushi, cheese, deli meat, and seafoods.
Empowering you without fear
I found in my pregnancy and breastfeeding years that a lot of fear was instilled in me around food and not many options were available considering I struggled with nausea (in pregnancy) and food intolerances.
With my clients, I focus on the benefits of nutrient-dense foods that
play a pivotal role in pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum
are commonly lacking in the diets of women of child bearing age statistically
fill the gap of nutrient needs that are commonly not addressed and to this day lead to the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world.. as these gaps cause new mums to have difficult health issues and imbalances well into their postpartum years and beyond.
There are certain foods that need to be included in specific quantities and ratios depending on the individual - that’s where I come in.
Final Note
It is an honor to nourish you through your journey before, during, after pregnancy, and beyond by empowering you with science and evidence based knowledge.
I’m so glad you’re here!
