Read MoreToday is the last episode in this season - and the last of 2020! So this episode is all about me. Or more specifically - what I do. Because people are often a little bit confused about what nutritional therapy actually is, so today I talk about what nutritional therapy is and how I work to help mothers nourish themselves so they can get their energy back, focus on having fun again and finally become the mum they always hoped to be.
Read MoreToday I’m talking about the fourth trimester. Most mums have never even heard of it but I think it’s a crucial piece of knowledge that could help put to rest that one thing so many mums say: ‘I wish I had known how hard it would be in the early days.’ Knowing and understanding about the fourth trimester might just help make it a little bit easy, a little less anxious and a little more restful.

Read MoreIn today’s episode I’m discussing one of the biggest challenges of motherhood: Sleep. Not baby’s sleep, mum’s sleep. Many people expect mums to be tired and exhausted in the early days, but are often rudely surprised by the fact that broken sleep continues for many more years! And as a result many mums accept their lot and resign themselves to the fact that perhaps sleep is just not for them right now. But is that really true?
