Rest. Recover. Replenish.
Postnatal recovery is all about replenishing essential nutrients that are lost when building, birthing, and feeding your baby. It’s a time to nourish and heal as you restore your body while enjoying to the fullest the marvelous creation you just made!
Wouldn’t it be great to feel like yourself again, how you felt before pregnancy, and to know you are providing the best nourishment for your child?
Pregnancy and birth is the most nutritionally expensive time in a woman's life. Even though becoming a mom is a new and exciting time (whether a first timer or growing your family) , it can take a toll on your body in many ways, resulting in the depletion of resources and several physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. It can be difficult for a mother to pay attention to her own eating habits when focused on her baby’s needs.
The solution is here:
