Pregnancy Prep

I have always loved reading about history, trying to understand what it was like to live hundreds of years ago. Having experienced the Colloseum in Rome, the Sistine Chapel in Paris, and climbed the pyramid that is Chichen Itza further spurred my curiosity for history. Scientists and archaeologists continue to study and be amazed by these marvels of ancient engineering. You can imagine my delight when I came across a book that highlighted how ancient cultures used food to care for their bodies, and the prized nutrients that mothers-to-be focused on. These ancient cultures prized foods rich in fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A,D,E, and K), and bone building minerals like broth, marrow, and sauerkraut. From experience, these cultures knew how certain foods produced healthy offspring so as to ensure the survival of their tribe! They were masters of genetic engineering.
My Pregnancy Prep program is all about preparing your body to produce the healthiest offspring. What you eat during pregnancy not only affects the development of your child but can have a profound influence on their long term health, as well as the health of their offspring! Think of your body as a garden, it’s built to grow something but the more attention to detail you give it, the better the harvest! And in order to harvest an abundant, healthy crop you have to prepare the soil first. Sometimes this means you have to “detox the soil” by removing the weeds, then test the soil to make sure the balance of bacteria and nutrients is ripe for planting. The seeds you plant must be healthy and strong as well. It can take a while to prepare the garden but the bountiful harvest you gain in return is worth all the prep work.
Below you will find a basic outline of what I offer in this program. Your program is highly customized and built to meet your health goals! Often times, appointments will last 15-30 minutes longer, depending on what “comes up.” While participating in one of my programs, you have access to me 24/7. I mean it when I say “I am here for you.”
