You see, for the past decade, I have dedicated my life to working with women.
Whether it’s overcoming digestion problems, overeating or dealing with stubborn weight gain. My online programs have helped over 25,000 women restore inner harmony, energy and build trusting relationships with food. I have appeared as an expert in Women’s Health, Yoga Journal, Marie Claire, Glamour, Huffington Post and other publications. I even gave a TED Talk about digestion!
I've even written a best-selling book on this stuff.
My book, Happy Belly, A Woman's Guide to Feeling Vibrand, Light, and Balanced has become a best seller at Amazon. I am grateful every day for being able to help women around the world create better versions of themselves by helping them heal their digestive issues, find foods that address their unique body needs and eliminate destructive habits. My personal goal has always been about achieving optimal digestive health which allows for a clear mind and healthy weight without calorie counting, diet foods or other restrictions.
However...
When my husband and I decided to have a child, I realized that my focus needed to shift, because even though I was supporting my body, I knew that there was much more that I needed to do in order to support my baby.
As I normally do, I started to research.
I read books upon books, dove into research on prenatal nutrition, perinatal psychology, and how to prepare the body for birth and postpartum recovery.
I reached out to the best experts on prenatal nutrition, genetics, conscious partner birth, obstetrics and even Ayurveda.
Some of the experts I reached out to...
Dr. Christiane Northrup
OB / GYN
Sarah Jane Sandy
Nutritional Advisor to Expectant Mothers
Lily Nichols
Registered Dietitian / Nutritionist
John Immel
Digestive Health Expert
Dr. Ben Lynch
Leader in the Field of Nutrigenomics
Anne Margolis
Licensed Certified Nurse Midwife
and many, many more!
I also started a small group for like-minded pregnant women to share what I learned. This group very quickly grew to over 3,000 members, and it became very clear that most women lacked the necessary information to make the right decisions about the health of their babies.
What’s more troubling is that the conventionally accepted “healthy diet” for pregnancy fails to provide important nourishment for mothers and babies. The low-fat, high carb, nutrient-poor diet is likely to be deficient in key nutrients that are needed the most during pregnancy, particularly when it comes to fat-soluble vitamins A, D & K and the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.
During pregnancy, we visited the OBGYN nearly 12 times, and despite all these visits...
Did you know...
Almost 75% of pregnant women in the USA lack sufficient Vitamin D
Vitamin D is responsible for healthy teeth, bone development, and creates a strong immune system while preventing respiratory infections!
Did you know...
Only 6% of pregnant women meet recommended Choline requirements
Choline is responsible for fetal brain development, cortisol regulating genes and placental function. Infants of mothers with higher Choline intake have been shown to demonstrate better brain development and faster reaction times!
Did you know...
48% of the US population consumed less than the required magnesium from food for their body
Consuming the right amount of magnesium during pregnancy can lower the risk of infant mortality, gestational diabetes, preterm labor and preeclampsia. Magnesium is important for maintaining muscle and nerve function, keeping heart rhythm steady and supporting a healthy immune system all while keeping bones strong!
There are over 40 essential nutrients that a pregnant woman needs for a healthy pregnancy!
Let me show you how to get them all!
I never felt more empowered and elated than on the night my first son was born.
He chose to join our family on the night of my birthday, November 27th. A fiery Sagittarius. It was 5:49am and I was holding my first born who was 7lb 3oz after 5.5 hours of intense and beautiful labor. Noah was super strong and healthy, very engaged and yet calm.
Now, after two amazing pregnancies...
I realize how much I have changed as a person. I feel more intune with my body, inspired by the power of food and thankful for the support of wise women and experts I gathered around me.
Armed with the right tools and information, any woman can have an amazing pregnancy experience and an empowering birth. Glowing skin, lush hair, the joy of carrying a child, and increased libido in the second trimester as well as the mindful energy of the third are all fun gifts that every woman deserves to experience.
But all of these benefits are the results of lifestyle and nutritional choices that we make long before and during pregnancy!
My mission has now started to become even more clear...
You see, my story was not supposed to be so perfect…
Women in our family usually gained 50lbs during pregnancy, had traumatic hospital births and never recovered their flat stomach. Most were left with varicose veins that required surgery and couldn’t get back to their pre-pregnancy weight.
Even though I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome and have a strong tendency towards allergies and food sensitivities, I feel particularly grateful that I didn’t pass on any of these weaknesses to my children. No skin issues, allergies super strong digestion and a healthy microbiome and immune system that protects that from most viruses that make other kids sick.
My protocol for pregnancy was so effective, that I didn’t have one varicose vein on my legs, was able to carry my toddler son on hikes until the 40th week and had no cravings during my entire pregnancy!
I gained only 20lb and was able to have a home birth with no tears and a quick postpartum recovery. And of course, because my weight gain was not excessive, I had no stretch marks or left with any loose skin after giving birth.
I attribute all of this to the optimized nutrition protocol I was able to develop during my pregnancies, and I want to share it with you!
Together with over 20 experts in the field of women’s health, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, I have put together an easy-to-use program containing 9 modules, each containing four to eight education video lessons, with detailed handouts and worksheets.
The Happy Belly Pregnancy Program will help you feel centered, balanced, and supported during this special transition into motherhood.
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your third, the course will provide you positive, practical, scientifically supported guidance on nutrition, blood work, herbal recommendations and detailed advice on pregnancy conditions. Some researchers now believe the 9 months of pregnancy are the most consequential period of our lives.
There's no reason to look back at your pregnancy and say "I wish I knew that!"
Let’s work together from the start to make it an amazing experience.

Other than routine tests, you will learn which additional tests you should be asking for from your provider, to catch nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems or low iron before they become a problem.
