Nutrition

During pregnancy and while lactating, how we nourish ourselves impacts us and our babies in important ways such as the ease of lactation, a fussy or calm baby, our mental focus and emotional stability.

With adjustments to the diet, we can reduce the conditions that create milk supply problems (too-much, too-little, or unreliable), and also the conditions that contribute to a fussy, unhappy or colicky baby.

Herbal Remedies

Herbal remedies start with the spices and condiments that we use to flavor our food: salt and pepper, mustard, oregano, basil, garlic, onions, ginger, and turmeric: all have strong medicinal effects that we can use.

Let’s begin by talking about the herbs, spices and condiments that you  presently have and use, and add in what is needed to bring balance and healing to your everyday meals: before and during pregnancy, from childbirth through lactation and to return of menstruation.
