Postpartum and Parenthood
You made it; you have your baby and are doing the expanded family thing! Awesome, I am happy to help you along the way! You body goes through a lot during birth, it takes time to recover and this can be super hard when you are tired and caring for a newborn; I can help you navigate eating to support the postpartum healing process and maximize the nutrition in your milk.

No matter what stage of the journey you’re in, learning how to eat intuitively and define what healthy means to you is an invaluable way to focus on YOU. I will work with you to develop a plan that puts your needs at a new level of priority while taking a different approach to nutrition. Ditch the diet culture norms and develop a personalized way to nurture yourself the way you nurture others.
I can help you:
Learn to recognize your hunger and fullness cues and achieve body attunement.
Uncover how our culture of dieting has had an impact on you and your nutrition.
Put yourself at the top of your priority list of nurture and care.
Find joy in eating and choosing food.
