What you eat before and during pregnancy has a profound impact on gene expression in your unborn child.
Incredibly, nutrition plays a critical role in determining the genetics that influence brain development, immune function, and metabolic health for the rest of your baby’s life.
Without adequate nutrition, irreversible damage to your baby’s genetic programming can lead to:
-
Poor school performance
-
A diminished capacity for learning
-
Increased risk of allergies
-
Increased risk of obesity and chronic disease
Getting the right, evidence-based, tailored nutrition advice is never more important.
Navigating pregnancy nutrition is more challenging than ever, with the enormous amount of information and misinformation available at your fingertips. Online advice and generic pamphlets take the one-size-fits-all approach - I don’t. I recognise that every pregnant mum is unique, with specific needs when it comes to nutrition. I am passionate about supporting you during this transformative period, ensuring that your child has the best chance of leading a healthy life.
Additionally, the right nutrition plan can help prevent pregnancy-related complications such as:
-
Gestational diabetes
-
Excess weight gain
-
High baby birth weight
-
Preeclampsia

During this 60-minute face-to-face or online consultation, we will take a deep-dive into your social, medical and lifestyle history; current supplementation regime; your goals and any concerns you may have; and I will educate you on completing a detailed 3-day food diary.
