Just ignore our tall grass 🤣

I’m here’s to reminder you that unless you’ve been advised not to exercise by your doctor, it’s actually encouraged and safe to move your body in pregnancy.

Of course it doesn’t have to be extreme, but telling women to stop exercising in pregnancy all together is more harmful than good.

Exercise reduces back/pelvic pain, improves sleep and reduces risk of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

Of course I’m not recommending super high intensity exercise if you weren’t doing that before, but walking, Pilates, yoga and even strength training is safe with modified exercises in the second and third trimester.

Because there’s nothing more discouraging than feeling like you’re “starting over” on your fitness journey postpartum. Postpartum is hard enough.

“Eating for two” is honestly just not accurate. Calories needs increase by 300-500 in the second and third trimester. I don’t encourage my clients to track calories, but instead learn how to listen to their hunger/fullness because mindful eating requires a nutrition understanding to know what’s true hunger vs habit vs cravings.

And lastly, weight gain. A sensitive topic for a reason. It’s hard. I’ve been there. It’s hard watching your body change. The thought of getting bigger is scary. But when we are intentional with our nutrition, we can learn to TRUST our body and our weight gain. Because weight gain either 1) goes to your baby for energy or 2) is primarily adipose tissue (aka fat stores). Extra adipose tissue increases risk of pregnancy complications like too large of a baby, need for C-section, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

In the Balanced Bump Collective, you get the tools and resources you need to feel good about your nutrition and weight gain. So you can trust your body, feel energized and have an easier pregnancy + postpartum. Comment “JUNE” and I’ll send you the details about enrollment 👇🏻⚡️

Nutrition is the one thing that can help you manage symptoms, reduce your risk of pregnancy complications, support your health AND your baby’s health.

Ignoring nutrition doesn’t reduce risk and it doesn’t make your any symptoms easier.

If this upset you, I’m sorry but what should upset you more is the lack of support that’s actually out there in pregnancy.

Women are expected to eat healthy, monitor weight gain, choose a quality prenatal and know what/what not to eat with NO actual support.

I wasn’t given any nutrition guideance at a single prenatal visit in my pregnancy. And I hear that from nearly all the woman I talk to.

They’re told “watch your weight” or “your iron is low” or “eat a balanced diet” and sent in their way to figure it out on their own.

Life lately 🫶🏻

This past month has been busssyyy, but the fun kind of busy!
We spent Memorial Day up north for a wedding and had a blast hanging with friends, going to wineries and lots of family time.

We now officially have a bigggg kid. William is crawling, pulling himself onto his feet and eating like crazy. He loves fruit, but more specifically oranges. Makes sense because that’s all I wanted when I was pregnant.

This past month I hosted my first live masterclass: the one mistake secretly sabotaging your energy levels in pregnancy (and what to do instead!) which was such a huge milestone for me in my business. I had great feedback and recorded it for everyone who missed it to be able to go back and watch. Just click the link in my bio!

Recently, I checked my own nutrient labs (including metabolic and hormones) that gave me so many answers when it comes to my own health. My thyroid has been super out of whack in postpartum and I’ve been working on managing my symptoms with nutrition, movement and lowering stress and I feel SO much better. I got blood work done this week to recheck so fingers crossed my numbers are lower. I really suspect they are based on how much better I feel.

And now this June, I’m hosting my first ever group pregnancy nutrition program! This program has been a passion project and dream of mine for a while. There’s so much information out there when it comes to pregnancy nutrition that isn’t talked about enough (or at all). So I made a 10-week program that I WISHED existed when I was pregnant. We’ll cover everything from choosing a high quality prenatal, nutrition for each trimester, important labs to check, managing symptoms, prepping for your glucose test, nutrition for postpartum and really so much more!

If you’re interested in enrolling, don’t wait! I’m only taking on a handful more women. Message me and I’ll send you the deets 💕🎉👇🏻

This is going to be hard to hear…

But not prioritizing your nutrition in pregnancy is putting your baby’s health at risk.

90% of pregnant women are missing KEY nutrients even while taking a prenatal vitamin.

And it’s because the support women get in pregnancy when it comes to nutrition is non-existent. The outdated handouts, vague nutrition advice and “just eat healthy” comments aren’t actually useful and make nutrition more confusing.

Most providers don’t even talk to women about nutrition once during their entire pregnancy and it’s actually insane when we KNOW nutrition can help prevent pregnancy complications 👇🏻

❌ Vitamin D deficiency increases risk of preterm birth, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

❌ Iron deficiency increases risk of low birth weight, postpartum depression, preterm birth and developmental delays.

❌ Iodine deficiency increases risk of low fetal IQ, miscarriage and infant mortality.

I don’t say this to scare you, but to remind you JUST how important nutrition is in pregnancy.

What you are eating matters.

And you don’t need more information to actually reduce your risk, you need the right accountability and support.

Someone to check your labs, analyze your current diet and help you implement a strategic plan into your life even when you’re busy.

In the Balanced Bump Collective women walk away with:
⚡️ reduced risk of pregnancy complications
⚡️ strategies to manage pregnancy symptoms
⚡️ accountability + community to make real change

Women join my program when they’re sick of trying to figure it out in their own. When they’re ready to prioritize their health and their baby’s health. When they’re ready for support that is actually meaningful.

This comes from a place of love. Because if I just told you weight gain didn’t matter, I’d be lying to you.

And I get it, nutrition is hard. Watching your body change is hard. I’ve been there.

Pregnancy brought up way more body image issues for me than I thought it would.

I gained more weight than the “recommended” amount for my BMI. But I trusted the process. I trusted that my body knew what it was doing to grow a healthy baby and I was intentional with my nutrition.

You don’t need a perfect diet. You don’t need to cut out fast food. And you don’t need to obsess over the number on the scale.

You just need a plan that is intentional and supports your health and your baby’s health.

This is exactly why I made the Balanced Bump Collective. A 10-week group coaching program to help you feel confident in your nutrition, support healthy weight gain and reduce your risk of pregnancy complications.

Telling women to “just eat healthy” in pregnancy is ignorant and exactly why I feel so passionate to ACTUALLY support women in pregnancy.

Because how can you possibly “just eat healthy” when you’re throwing up all day + night?

How can you “just eat healthy” when you can stomach any meat and are worried your protein intake is too low?

How can you “just eat healthy” when you don’t even know WHAT nutrients you should be focusing on in pregnancy?

Instead of “just eat healthy,” why don’t we actually help women manage symptoms AND fill nutrient gap in their diet so they can have an easier pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

So their baby can be stronger and healthier at birth. So they can be certain their nutrition meets crucial nutrients in pregnancy even when their nutrition isn’t perfect.

If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know how hard it can be to eat meat + veggies. You could love seafood, but just the thought of it makes you feel sick.

Instead of trying to push through, we can rely on supplements to do just tha—supplement gaps in the diet.

Because it’s not about having a perfect diet, it’s about being strategic.

Doors are officially open for Balanced Bump Collective 🚨‼️

In 10 weeks, we’ll cover everything from supplements, trimester-specific nutrition, nutrient lab testing and reducing risk of pregnancy complications!

It’s not just about less nausea, it’s having strategies to actually improve your symptoms so you can eat the way you want to nourish yourself and your baby.

It’s having an easier pregnancy with less complications because you have the tools to manage and reduce risk of complications like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and preterm birth.

It’s giving your baby the best possible outcomes because they are stronger and healthier at birth.

It’s not missing out on skin to skin. It’s an easier time breastfeeding. It’s a smoother postpartum experience.

It’s filling gaps in women healthcare and giving you the support you truly deserve.

Symptom management is just ONE piece of the puzzle.

We have completely normalized feeling awful in pregnancy, instead of actually teaching women how to eat to manage symptoms 🫣

Because it’s NOT normal to 👇🏻
❌ crash every day at 3pm
❌ have nonstop nausea
❌ be constantly throwing up
❌ be so exhausted you can’t get out of bed

The fix isn’t just “push through” either. It’s support that is beyond zofran and just wait it out.

It’s 👇🏻
💫 teaching you HOW to eat to manage symptoms
💫 giving you evidence-based tools and strategies
💫 checking for nutrient deficiencies that worsen fatigue
💫 filling gaps in women’s health’s care

In my masterclass: the one mistake secretly sabotaging your energy in pregnancy (and what to do instead) we break down

🩷 how to build meals to reduce fatigue and nausea
🩷 nutrient deficiencies to check for that worsen fatigue
🩷 a sustainable nutrition plan without a trying to have a “perfect” diet
