Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy is a time of amazing changes.

 

As expectant mums we all want to provide the best opportunities for baby’s growth and development and enjoy the healthiest pregnancy possible. Consulting a naturopath specializing in pregnancy care can help provide clarity and confidence during your pregnancy where otherwise you may feel overwhelmed by all the information available.

The changing demands of pregnancy require some adjustments to the supplements and remedies you may have been taking during your preconception stage, you will need to continue eating carefully and consciously now you are pregnant as you are the sole source of nutrition for baby’s growth. Your lifestyle, stress levels and environment is also important.

My purpose is to help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy by:

* Helping you create a nutritious pregnancy diet to support you and your baby
* Guide you through lifestyle changes and exercise choices in the different stages of pregnancy
