Adequate nutrition through pregnancy is important. We can take the stress away and help you to enjoy eating to nourish yourself and your baby.

Nutrients such as Folate, Iodine and Iron and especially important to ensure you are getting adequate amounts during pregnancy for baby to develop healthily. We can help show you which foods to focus on specific to your likes and dislikes. We also take into account your previous medical history and if there are any current /previous nutrient deficiencies.
