Nutrition Design’s Healthy Pregnancy Blueprint

No one said creating a human being was easy. Allow gentle nutrition practices to elevate your experience and bring you to your highest health.

You are bringing a new person into this world. What you eat is important. What you put in your body can transform your experience.

Unsure about how to nourish yourself and manage symptoms through the different stages of pregnancy on your journey to Motherhood? Let’s take the overwhelm out of eating with my 5 step mindfulness approach to pregnancy and beyond.

Stop worrying about your pregnancy symptoms and postpartum weight gain!

With a registered dietitian nutritionist as a partner, you can stop worrying about things like:

  • Weight gain during pregnancy and overwhelm with the changes to your body
  • Nagging pregnancy symptoms that constantly evolve and affect what and how you eat
  • Not knowing which foods you should or shouldn’t eat during pregnancy
  • Gestational diabetes, Anemia or Pregnancy Induced Hypertension diagnosis plaguing you and how to manage these with diet
  • Your twin pregnancy
  • Your postpartum diet while breastfeeding
  • Losing the weight after your delivery

My 5 step approach to personalized pregnancy nutrition support

Pregnancy and the changes to your body can be at times difficult and overwhelming. Terribly sick one day, ravenous the next! Being able to navigate all the hormonal shifts and changes can put a lot of stress on your daily routine and how you approach food.

You are not alone. Pregnancy can be rocky at times leaving you tired, spent and with little energy to think about feeding yourself and the baby with the best nutrition possible.

Here is how we can partner to make your pregnancy and postpartum experience the most delicious and enjoyable experience!

Just one of the many ways we will turn intention into action!

Client Praise

“Having gestational diabetes so early in my pregnancy was scary. As I began working with Voula, I noticed that I was better able to manage my blood sugars and weight during the pregnancy. I now have more energy, and the better choices I am making with meals doesn’t stop me from living life the way I did before. It has actually made me realize I should have done this a long time ago! Voula’s program is not about what you can’t do, but rather how to manage your eating and your whole health based on what you are already doing. I now not only feel confident that I am producing a healthy baby, but I’m creating healthy habits for my family and I for life!”
