How to Prioritise Yourself as a Mother {S4E5}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2021/06/02

Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm introducing the concept of the Wheel of Motherhood as a means to prioritise yourself as a mother. This is a tool I often use for my clients and for myself too, to work out the areas of life that need to be prioritised to bring some balance in life. Often mums find themselves at the bottom of the list of priorities, a shift that often happens as soon as baby is born - and doesn't shift back. As a result you might find yourself becoming resentful, notice your

The First 6 Months of Motherhood: Active Recovery {S3E8}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2021/03/02

In this week's episode on Raising Healthy Mothers, I'm talking about recovery in the first six months of motherhood. Whereas there's a lot of information on how to have a healthy pregnancy, and even how to recover and cope in the fourth trimester, I believe the healing and recovery continues well into the first 6 months, and even beyond. After the initial period of deep rest and recovery, more active recovery begins, encompassing much more than just the physical aspects of pregnancy and childbirth

What to Eat for Breastfeeding {S3E4}

Raising Healthy Mothers ·

2021/02/03

Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm addressing a question I'm often asked - 'What should I eat when I'm breastfeeding?' It's a really common questions pregnant and new mums ask me, not knowing that it's actually quite a complex answer. Although a seemingly innocuous question, what underlies it is doubt in their body’s ability to know how and how much milk to produce. I find this sad because it hints at the lack of confidence women have in themselves and lack of wisdom that should have been passed

This year almost half a million people signed up for Veganuary - the month where you pledge to go vegan for a month.

These weeks are really important in the healing process and can have a major impact on the whole motherhood journey if they are not taken slowly and gently.
