Holistic Nutrition is based on the principles that we are each biochemically distinct and have unique nutritional and lifestyle needs. As such, any health recommendations provided by a Holistic Nutritionist, whether they are diet, supplement or lifestyle changes, are made specifically to YOU. The purpose is to harmonize the whole body by taking into consideration the complex relationship between the physical, mental, emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one’s life. Meal plans, recipe ideas, and supplements may all be included in your recommendations.

 Commonly addressed conditions include: ADHD, allergies and food sensitivities, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, GERD, hormonal imbalances, IBS, migraines, psoriasis, weight loss/gain, and more.

Fertility Services

When looking to optimize fertility, a great place to start is by looking at diet and lifestyle. There are many specific foods that can help promote egg and sperm health. It can also be a good idea to do a cleanse or detoxification program before trying to conceive to ensure that both parents are in optimum health, and the reproductive cells are strong and ready to create a healthy pregnancy.

Pregnancy Care

Knowing what to eat during pregnancy is hard work! Between cravings, food aversions, safety concerns, heartburn, nausea, and gaining an appropriate amount of weight, many women struggle. Our holistic nutritionist will work with you to ensure you are on the best quality supplements, and are getting the nutrients that both you and baby need, while taking into account any aversions or cravings you may be experiencing.

Postpartum Care

Eating well during the postpartum period is one of the most essential ways to help your body heal, and balance your hormones. Often nutrient stores are completely depleted after pregnancy so those will need to be replenished. You may also need to take into account optimal foods to promote lactation in mom, and avoid gas producing foods for baby.

Pediatric Services
