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.

What people are saying about
Nourish The Future....
"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.”
