Pregnancy &
Postpartum Support
Pregnancy is such a special time and it is a pleasure and a privilege to support women throughout and into parenthood. Pregnancy is full of great physical and mental/emotional changes and our aim is to educate and support you so you can make informed and considered choices that best suit you while being as healthy and as comfortable as possible.
​
Labour and birth can be daunting but naturopathic advice and support can extend your knowledge and resources for achieving your birthing goals. Herbal medicine and birth kit recommendations can help ready your body for an uncomplicated labour and birth.
Equally, don't underestimate the importance of the fourth trimester or postpartum care. This area is often overlooked but this is when women most need support and education around nutrition and plans to aid healing, recovery, encourage milk flow, promote sleep, improve energy and preserve mental health. Taking utmost care of yourself is essential so you can bond, connect and take care of your child.
