“Thank you so much for all your help, not just with nutrition but with taking care of myself and putting myself back together during postpartum. Mentally I am light years ahead of where I was when I started seeing you. I have you to thank largely for that because you’re the one that sparked the healing. I am so thankful that I reached out to you.”

Postpartum and Breastfeeding
You want the best for your baby. That’s why you’re here. To do that, you must also take care of yourself and your body. Because your time is limited (and sometimes a shower is more important), you need access to actionable steps to eat nutrient-dense, balanced meals to provide the building blocks your body needs to recover from birth. You’re feeling overwhelmed about how your diet influences breastmilk and supply. Working together on your postpartum nutrition care allows us to remove additional stressors about food and put more focus on caring for you. Telehealth appointments and direct messaging allow for easy check-ins. No need to get in the car with baby.
