We need more places for mom to be heard. My journey to motherhood was not an easy and simple one. I experienced a missed miscarriage, which ultimately ended up in a procedure. When I was lucky enough to get pregnant with our rainbow baby, I did not have the smoothest pregnancy. But the whole time, I would just tell myself (and my OB) it could be worse, because really it could have been! Even with a black and blue and swollen leg, I wouldn’t change it for a thing because we have the happiest and sweetest daughter. Fast forward to postpartum, I thought I was so prepared being a nutritional therapy practitioner but man was I wrong. Postpartum is such a huge time of healing, growing, and learning. I learned that my nutrition choices were directly impacting not only myself but my baby. After an unplanned c-section and a couple rounds of antibiotics my body needed A LOT of support. The first place I needed to support was my gut and this was through nourishing and healing foods. Unfortunately, it took me about 5 months and a postpartum thyroiditis diagnosis to realize that. But then, I started supporting my body with a postpartum nutrition plan and guess what? I started feeling better, my thyroid symptoms started to lessen and I had more energy. All from nutrition and lifestyle swaps that I researched because guess what? There is a lack of support for new moms and it is really sad. This is where my passion for postpartum nutrition grew. I am here to support you in one of the most vulnerable times of your life. Let me help you nourish your body so you can nourish your baby.
