The inspiration behind The Fairy Food Mother was to combine my qualifications in nutritional therapy with my experience as a mother and motivate busy mums to take charge of their own health and wellbeing.
My philosophy is that if mums are feeling their best, then the rest of the family benefits too.
Time and again I see women suffering with the same problems: tiredness, mood swings, PMS, depression, difficulty losing weight, difficulty conceiving, digestive issues and no time or energy to think about doing anything about it. Quite often they think it’s just part and parcel of life.
But it really doesn’t have to be: nutritional therapy can help to alleviate most of the common health problems that women experience.
My nutrition consultations are specifically tailored for mums to help you get back to being you, no matter what stage of motherhood you’re at. I fully appreciate just how busy mums’ lives can be, and also I have a deep knowledge of the unique nutritional demands that being a mum puts on your body.
Nutritional Therapy
You don’t need to have a medical condition to see a nutritional therapist. Making small changes to your diet can have a big effect on how well you feel. Nutrition and lifestyle approaches to healthcare have been shown to support all the major systems of the body and encourage healing.
I create personalised nutrition plans for mums and mums-to-be to help address their health concerns in ways that they can fit into their lives. This usually means advice on which foods to increase or decrease, meal suggestions and planners to make it easy to incorporate the changes, any supplements that may be required, and lifestyle recommendations. Functional testing may also be necessary.
I only use natural remedies: food, nutrients, natural supplements, herbal teas, flower essences and lifestyle management. These allow the body to heal itself rather than putting a Band-Aid over the problem, and ultimately encourage changes that last a lifetime and promote long-term health.
Conditions that nutritional therapy can help treat, and that I typically see, include:
- Allergies
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Cystitis
- Depression/Mood swings
- Diarrhoea
- Digestive problems
- Ezcema/skin problems
- Food sensitivies
- Frequent infections
- Hormone imbalance
- Indigestion
- Infertility
- IBS
- Low energy
- Migraines/headaches
- Preconception care
- Pregnancy
- PMS
- Sinusitis
- Sleep problems
- Stress
- Thrush
- Weight problems
