The birth of Sprouted Health - nutrition & postpartum care
My childhood experiences with complementary therapies introduced me to the healing power of food. So I decided to pursue and complete a diploma in naturopathic nutrition to strengthen my understanding, and use this knowledge to holistically prevent and support conditions.
Then, I became pregnant with my first child, my first year of studies - and my interest in naturally nourishing the body during this stage in life became inevitable. With each pregnancy and birth I experienced, this interest became my passion. My decision to then officially specialise in this field happened towards the end of my maternity leave with my last baby, after having many mum friends come for food advice for both herself and baby. I realised the online information was overwhelming and the current healthcare system did not place enough importance into nutrition as a complementary tool for the challenging yet beautiful journey of motherhood. This led to the creation of Sprouted Health. Fast forward a few years and a certification as a postpartum doula, and Sprouted Health has become a way to connect and care for other mothers with nourishment , compassionate care and empowerment at its core.
You are most welcome to contact me and find out more about my services - nutrition consultations, postpartum prep party & postpartum care - and answer any questions you may have.
My food philosophy
My food philosophy is to eat real, as wholesome as possible foods no matter the dietary preferences - and flexibility. As our bodies go through cycles of change, so do our nutritional needs, and we are able to make positive and empowering choices during these transformative times that can support us best. I also believe there is more to eating than its nutrient content. Though nutritious foods are important pre-during-post pregnancy, and when introducing solids to babies, there is also the enjoyment of food shopping, cooking, eating, tasting, sharing the experience with others, and as a means of celebrating cultures and heritages.
