The birth of postpartum mama

My childhood experiences with complementary therapies introduced me to the healing power of food. So I decided to pursue and complete a diploma in naturopathic nutrition to use this knowledge to holistically prevent and support conditions. 

Then, I became pregnant with my first child, my first year of studies - and my interest in naturally nourishing the body during this stage in life became inevitable. With each pregnancy and birth I experienced, this interest became my passion. My decision to then officially specialise in this field happened towards the end of my maternity leave with my last baby, after having many mum friends come for food advice for both herself and baby. I realised the online information was overwhelming and the current healthcare system did not place enough importance into nutrition as a complementary tool for the challenging yet beautiful journey of motherhood. This led to the creation of postpartum mama. Fast forward a few years and a training as a postpartum doula, and postpartum mama has become a way to connect and care for other mothers with nourishment, compassion and empowerment at its core.
