…a holistic nutritionist's journey towards motherhood through nourishing foods and conscious conception
Today marks our 120th day (after conception) which in some cultures and traditions comes along with a special celebration to welcome the soul! We’re taking a very conscious approach to preconception, pregnancy, birthing and parenting so I’m excited that I was introduced to this tradition through a beautiful ‘Welcoming The Soul’ celebration with dear friends [...]
Photo Credit: Vancouver Maternity Photographer – Vairdy Photography I’m having SO much fun with Vairdy, she’s such a great photographer. Truth be told, I don’t like having my picture taken!

2011 marks the start of my 4-month preconception period and I couldn’t be more excited. We are going to start trying for a baby in May!! From a very young age, I knew without a doubt, that I wanted to be a mom. I’ve been dreaming about pregnancy for years and unlike the majority of [...]
Wow, I can confidently say that 2010 was the most transformational year of my life! I’ve been taking some time over the past few weeks to reflect on the past year and set my intentions for 2011. I’m beyond excited to see what the next year has in store for us… especially since we are [...]
I’m always on the search for healthy and delicious desserts that don’t contain refined sugar and flour. Recently, I’ve been drawn to RAW desserts since they are whole food based, unrefined, unheated and don’t contain gluten or dairy. When I had the opportunity to bring in a raw food chef to teach a Raw Desserts [...]
Did you know that REAL bone broth is a powerful digestive aid as well as a traditional fertility food?
