Empower Your Journey: Expert advice from Preconception to pregnancy & Postnatal Nutrition
Every stage of parenthood brings unique nutritional needs, and I am here to provide the knowledge and support you need. Whether you are preparing for pregnancy, nourishing a growing baby, or recovering postpartum, my goal is to help you feel your best through the power of food.
Preconception Nutrition for Women & Men
Fertility is influenced by many factors, including diet, lifestyle, and overall health. The full maturation of both egg and sperm takes up to 120 days, which is why preconception nutrition should start at least 100 days before conception. Proper nutrition enhances fertility by supporting hormone balance, improving egg and sperm quality, and preparing the body for pregnancy. I help both men and women adopt a fertility-friendly diet rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and key micronutrients such as folate, zinc, and vitamin D. If you have underlying health concerns such as PCOS, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility, I offer tailored nutrition strategies to support your journey to parenthood.
Prenatal Nutrition: Nurturing Mother & Baby
During pregnancy, your body needs extra nutrients to support the development of your baby and to maintain your own health. A well-balanced diet can help prevent complications, boost energy, and reduce common pregnancy discomforts like nausea and fatigue. I provide guidance on essential nutrients and practical tips for incorporating them into your diet.
If you have dietary restrictions—such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or food allergies—I ensure you meet your nutritional needs while honouring your preferences and beliefs. I also offer support for managing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and other pregnancy-related conditions through balanced nutrition.
Postnatal Nutrition: Healing & Recovery
The postpartum period is a time of immense change and recovery. Proper nutrition helps restore energy, stabilise mood, and promote healing. If you’re breastfeeding, your nutrient needs increase to ensure both you and your baby receive adequate nourishment. I provide guidance on maintaining a well-rounded diet that supports milk production and replenishes depleted nutrients.
For mothers facing postnatal challenges such as fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or mood fluctuations, I offer tailored nutrition strategies to aid in recovery. Whether you need support managing postpartum cravings, balancing blood sugar levels, or finding practical meal solutions, I help make healthy eating achievable during this busy time.
I personally experienced dietary restrictions while breastfeeding when my baby was diagnosed with a cow’s milk protein allergy. This reinforced the importance of a balanced and nutritious diet to support my recovery while providing the best nourishment for my newborn. My passion for helping families stems from these experiences, as I understand the complexities of nutritional needs during this critical period. By sharing my insights and expertise, I guide expecting and new mothers in making informed nutritional choices that support their health and their children’s well-being.
