Who Should Take this Course?

Pregnant women

As a pregnant mama, 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 planning for pregnancy

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.

Postpartum moms – and those planning for a second (or third) child

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.
