- Discover which nutrients are vital for fertility and pregnancy
- Essential foods for developing baby’s growth and brain
development
- Ways to reduce sugar and fat cravings during pregnancy, allowing
mom to have more energy
- Discuss what was GOOD about the “good old days” – and
how to restore more traditional ways of eating (avoiding the
world of modern processed foods)
Digestion
- Vital steps to improve digestion for greater nutrient absorption
and optimal health
- Restoring digestive balance helps support baby’s digestion
and reduces potential for colic, thrush, eczema, and more.
- Discover naturally fermented and nourishing foods to create
the optimal environment for digestive wellness
- Help mom reestablish beneficial bacteria balance/levels -
minimizing potential yeast overgrowth and Group B Strep.
Detoxification/Healthy Environment
- Learn what to toxins avoid and healthier
alternatives. Current and future moms especially should understand
the impact of toxins and how to steer clear as best as possible.
This is vital to the health of baby.
- For those planning for pregnancy, learn about detoxification before getting
pregnant to enhance fertility and minimize baby’s exposure.
(Do not detox during pregnancy.) There will be plenty of information
for pregnant and postpartum women about creating a healthy non-toxic
home, and information for planning your next pregnancy.
Postpartum
- Special nourishment for mom after childbirth – mind
and body.
- Optimal nutrition for breastfeeding - and substitutions for
commercial formula (when necessary)
- Infant health care: Navigating western medicine and alternative
therapies: ear infections, antibiotics, thrush, colic, etc.

What people are saying about
Julie's class....
"I walked out feeling energized and inspired
about the prospect of starting a healthy family."
“Julie provides extensive knowledge about
the nutritional needs of pregnancy and how to prepare your body
to have the healthiest pregnancy possible."
"I've entered a new world of thinking and
reading about both nutrition and general wellness."
"Julie's helped me focus on key areas to improve
my health and feeling of well-being."
“I participated in Julie's pre-pregnancy
class to gear up for my second pregnancy and wished so much that
I'd taken it in time for my first. Julie's knowledge is deep and
research-based and her class was incredibly useful, inspiring,
eye-opening, and practical. Because of her class I've entered a
new world of thinking and reading about both nutrition and general
wellness for which I am so grateful."
“I loved the class. It was informative, interesting,
and fun. Before taking your class, I didn't pay much attention
to nutrition, but now, I'm all about eating organic and reading
labels (and not just for the calories). I also learned a lot about
all of the options that pregnant women have with midwives, doulas,
Chinese medicine, etc. I recommend your class.”
Pregnant now |
Planning for
Pregnancy |
| You will learn essential nutritional information for yourself and
your developing baby. We'll also cover broader holistic health information
for pregnancy and infants, and insights on nursing and nutrition for
breastfeeding. |
Women focusing on fertility and pregnancy planning learn to nourish
their bodies beforehand and discover high nutrient food options to
boost up nutrient reserves before they conceive. Depending on timing,
preconception women can detoxify in advance. |
Already a Mom |
Pregnancy, childbirth,
and nursing take a lot of nutrients from the mother, through the
food she eats and her own stored nutrients. After the birth
of a child, boosting nutrient reserves can help replenish a mother's
vitality and prepare her for future pregnancies. |
