life & fertility coaching

Depending on what you want to achieve- we redirect your body's attention to your reproductive organs, which in most cases, have been starved of attention and circulation. The fertility wellness program focuses on lifestyle change, stress management, natural medicine, exercise, cooking and food choices that are fertility promoting to improve general health and address any pre-existing conditions.

For those experiencing infertility, specific meal plans address common imbalances with healing foods. By optimizing your digestion, you naturally absorb more nutrients and prepare yourself for a healthy pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Infertility and corrective strategies

Less and less are we able to discern what nature intended our bodies to consume. We live from the outside in, rather than the inside out. We have lost the ability to know food by seasonal availability and have lost touch with what our bodies need and often eat according to our emotions.

We buy our food according to how perfect it looks, how large it is and what the advertising media says is the flavor of the month. We have become plagued with modern disease states like cancer, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, strokes, and heart attacks, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue syndrome, mental illness and inability to reproduce.

Our bodies do not want us pregnant when we are under stress – physical, mental, or chemical.

Individualised Program

We eat food every day so what we eat and even how we eat it is crucial to our strength and balance.

1. We tailor customized meal plans for their individual needs that help them to focus on foods that will aid in their healing and eliminate the ones that could hinder it.

2. We also look at certain foods to strengthen your cycle by adding particular foods in at certain times of the month, ideally strengthening your system and optimizing fertility.

3. We support individuals to address any underlying issues that might be in the way of conception and pregnancy through individual counseling.

I assess the state of health of an individual or a couple in a holistic way, seeking to find underlying patterns that prevent the body from achieving balance. Taking everything about them into account I pay attention to what the typical diet is like, lifestyle, how much exercise or how much rest a person gets, their emotional state, etc.

Infertility is a very complicated condition, and either or both partners may have several contributing factors. When unhealthy patterns within the body and mind are cleared up, and when depleted energy is restored, it is often possible for people to conceive.

Other Programs

Depending upon the circumstances our program can offer you the following for your reproductive health throughout life:

Holistic Wellness nutrition care and cooking courses from:

• puberty to menopause
• contraception to conception
• preconception health care for fertility problems
• pregnancy
• birth
• breastfeeding and beyond
• hormone imbalance

In relatoin to hormone imbalances, we look at PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, PMS, thyroid or immune system problems and menopause management. My approach is one of common sense, focusing on optimal health for prospective parents before conception occurs to optimize your chances of a healthy conception, pregnancy, birth and baby.

Pregnancy

Our pregnancy consultations focus on nutrition care including cooking classes and weekly diet plans and lifestyle programs.

Male Aspects

The role of the prospective father on the Conception Nutritional care program requires the same involvement as the prospective mother. Post-natal health and successful lactation are well supported with Nutrition care consultations.

Children

Although children born from healthy parents generally have a greatly reduced rate of medical concerns, there are always ways we can assist with the optimal health of your child. From advice on vaccination alternatives, to treatment for minor ailments, building immunity, diet, allergies Nutrition Care can be of assistance.

Menopause

Menopause is a normal, natural part of a women's life that is usually experienced in her mid-late 40s or early 50s. It is often a time of change both physically and psychologically where women either need or appreciate some form of assistance.

During peri-menopause (the onset of symptoms to the last menstrual period) and menopause, women can experience a range of symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, menstrual changes, breast tenderness, vaginal dryness, urinary frequency, joint aches, tiredness, anxiety, headaches, irritability, decreased libido, dry skin and depression.

In a time of change and challenge easing the symptoms of this natural reproductive process through changes in nutrition and lifestyle can be best achieved through Nutrition care including cooking classes and counseling.

We do not aim to 'treat' the 'problem' of menopause; instead we aim to ease the symptoms of this natural reproductive process through changes to nutrition and lifestyle and via the use of natural remedies
