Hi, I’m Nadya Andreeva. I understand what it’s like to be newly pregnant and overwhelmed with information. When I first saw my positive pregnancy result, I read “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” Gulp. That book only fed my anxiety.
I had no interest in experiencing the laundry list of ailments that most of the existing resources called “normal” during pregnancy. I felt that there had to be another way.
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome when I was 22 years old. I had just completed my Masters program at New York University. I was working around the clock fueled by double caramel macchiatos and vegan brownies. I was over-caffeinated and stressed. I was pushing my body to pursue my career, assuming that my body had no limit.
I didn’t realize that my eczema, chronic digestive issues and sugar addiction were warning signals that I was pushing my body too hard. When my doctor suggested that I begin taking hormonal pills to manage my cycle, I knew it was time to take responsibility for my health.
It didn’t happen overnight, but my health improved. After a year of daily commitment to self-care, I saw results. That was the turning point for me and why I’m so passionate about supporting other women on their journey to wellness.
When I became pregnant and looked at the possible “normal” ailments pregnancy would likely bring me, I chose a different path.
I assembled experts on prenatal nutrition, genetics, conscious partner birth, obstetrics and Ayurveda. I started a community online where I could share this information with other like-minded moms and I was surprised by the interest — our group grew to 3,000 moms in just a few months!
As a certified wellness coach, my online programs have helped over 25,000 women around the world.
The healthy diet that’s conventionally accepted for pregnant mothers fails to provide adequate nourishment for mothers and babies. And it’s not surprising that women are confused about what optimal nutrition during pregnancy actually is.
That’s why I’m devoted to cutting through the noise and providing all of the information you could ever need for a healthy pregnancy and life for your precious baby.
