Pregnancy Programs
In just nine months, amazing changes occur within the body, mind and spirit of the mother. It's about more than taking a prenatal supplement-good nutrition and lifestyle support from conception through the postpartum period help the new mother provide a nourishing and optimum environment for growth and healthy development inside and out of the womb for her baby while giving Mom the much needed energy it takes to care for her new child-and herself. Whether you are just thinking about becoming pregnant, are well into your pregnancy or have already had your baby, this is a wonderful time to learn to connect deeply with your body while you build a great nutritional foundation for a lifetime of health together.
Each Prenatal/Postnatal Program is focused first and foremost on supporting the health and wellness of the mother. I tailor each program to the special needs of each very different pregnancy. We will meet twice a month (50 minutes each) for Six Months or Three months and your program may be extended if desired, at half off for each additional month.
The Programs Cover (but are not limited to):
- Best foods for fertility and nutrition for a healthy pregnancy
- Optimum foods for the breastfeeding mother and a healthy milk supply
