Prenatal Nutritional Consultations

Prenatal consultations are a key essential in creating a healthier sense of self, a fulfilling pregnancy and birth experience!

A one-on-one consultation gives you, the expectant Mother, an opportunity to ask detailed questions, receive customized protocols and educational resources for your specific concerns, in a caring environment.

Prenatal Services:

• Enhance fertility through nutrition and supplements
• Pregnancy concerns: backache, headache, nausea, Strep-B, yeast, constipation, emotional support, long labour, cravings and aversions, diabetes
• On-going nutrition and supplementation support for each trimester, breastfeeding preparation

Post-Partum Services:

Having a baby is a blessing and a HUGE adjustment to the expectant parent(s).  Did you know that 1 in 5 women in Canada will experience Post Partum Mood Disorder (anxiety/depression, etc) and that the sooner you are able to get good support the better you start to feel!  More information and a checklist here:  www.lifewithnewbaby.ca  There are post partum clinics in both Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.

A Post-Partum Doula offers support during the sacred time (4th trimester) after a baby is born. A Doula is a helper, listener and provides resources, information and answers to the questions all new parents encounter.
