Topic: First Year of Motherhood, how to nourish yourself inside out.
Info: As a UK nutritionist with over two decades of experience, a pre/postnatal yoga teacher, and a mom to a 3-year-old, I’ve lived the highs and lows of the first year of motherhood. My mission is to help new and expectant moms navigate this massive transition with support and confidence. Together, we will dive into postpartum gut health and gentle movement to help you heal from the inside out. I'm here to break down the science into simple, stress-free steps. No more second-guessing, let me be your Google search today. Bring your questions, and let's talk in a safe, no judgement space.
