Pregnancy

Becoming pregnant is very exciting but it can also be very overwhelming and confusing when trying to navigate which foods you should be eating to nourish yourself and your growing baby, what you should be avoiding and how to support some of those pesky pregnancy conditions.

Postpartum

In the early days of becoming a new mama, women often focus so much on their newborns that they themselves become depleted. This is such an important time to put mama first so she can recover, feel supported and nourished, and have the energy to look after her little mini.

Babies

Starting solids is an exciting time, but it can also be daunting when you are trying to work out how to go about it. I can support you with how to find the best approach to starting solids for your family, so you feel empowered and confident in how to best nourish your mini and make mealtimes fun for everyone.

I’m here to support you.

Empower yourself.
