It is not without its challenges however, placing a large nutrient burden on the mother along with common pregnancy symptoms such nausea, fatigue, muscle cramps.

She believes healthy, happy mums make a better world and loves to help you navigate the emotional and physical changes that occur from physiological as well as spiritual view.

Mothers have been left to believe they either need to be the “perfect Mother” or that motherhood is extremely hard and they just have to suffer through. I offer an alternative that sees you with the challenges motherhood brings, but also how this can be a time that brings immense growth and change for the better.

Hormonal shifts, nutritional deficiencies, broken sleep, and long days can place a huge burden on the mother leaving her depleted, however naturopathic medicine offers the perfect antidote through nutritional optimisation and herbal medicine to support you during this time.

As a working mother to two small children she understand the time constraints you are experiencing and offers small, achievable changes you can implement to help you and your family.
