You read all the books, prepped for each trimester of pregnancy, had a birth plan mapped out, a perfectly curated nursery and are now thinking “why didn’t anyone tell me how difficult postpartum was?!”
We often spend so much time preparing for labor and delivery that the only thing we think about for postpartum is to freeze some extra meals so we have them on hand. While you may have been meticulous about optimizing your diet during pregnancy to nourish your baby, our nutrition needs during postpartum can be just as high and oftentimes HIGHER than during pregnancy.
Whether you are 6 weeks postpartum or 18+ months postpartum, moms who work with me struggle with:
Feeling out of control in managing hunger and appetite (and experience intense food cravings)
Feeling so physically depleted every day and stuck in a cycle of over caffeinating to try and increase energy to get through the day
Knowing they shouldn’t be “dieting” but are desperate to feel better in their post baby body
Managing a PMAD’s diagnosis and trying to eat to support their mental health while taking care of a family
Imagine if your postpartum experience felt like…
Complete attunement with your bodies hunger and fullness cues (eating when you want to eat and getting out of the binge/restrict cycle)
Feeling energized to tackle a full day of being with the kids, without relying on caffeine or sugar
Feeling better in your body each day by taking the steps needed to truly take care of YOU
Your mental health was fully supported because you aren’t depleted of nutrients and running on empty
If you are ready to do things differently, to take the steps to prioritize your physical and mental health, i would love to support you. as someone who has experienced the depths of a PMAD (postpartum mood & anxiety disorder) while trying to care for my daughter, i know how critical nutrition and self care is to taking steps to feeling like you again. i would be honored to support you in this season. when you are ready, schedule your complimentary discovery call here to apply to work together.
