Bringing new life into the world is the biggest creative work of our lifetime. At WellNatal, we help you optimise your health and grow your family. We offer support across three significant seasons: PREPARATION & PRECONCEPTION CARE Preconception care is about “stacking the deck in your favour” for a healthier pregnancy, a well-nourished baby and a better postpartum experience. Optimising nutrition and overall health in both partners can have a lasting positive impact on the pregnancy and beyond. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - What should I do to be at my healthiest before conceiving? - Are there any natural ways to improve fertility? - How can I find out if I have nutrient deficiencies? - I have endometriosis, PCOS or amenorrhea, can nutrition help? - What should I do if I’ve stopped or want to stop contraception (e.g. “the pill”)? - I’m still exhausted from my last pregnancy, how can I revitalise my health before conceiving? - How can I decrease my risk of gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications? - Which blood tests or other testing should I do? - Which prenatal vitamin should I take? Key focus areas: - Optimising fertility - Improving egg & sperm quality - Identifying & treating nutrient deficiencies that could impact pregnancy & postpartum - Improving reproductive, menstrual & hormone health - Identifying & removing barriers to healthy conception - Improving metabolic health PREGNANCY CARE Pregnancy care naturally supports the mother’s physical changes during pregnancy, healthy foetal development and supports birth to postpartum. Unfortunately, much of the advice around pregnancy nutrition and lifestyle is outdated or incorrect. With specialist training in this area, we relieve the stress and overwhelm by giving you research-backed and holistic prenatal nutrition advice. If you are asking any of these questions, we can help: - Which foods are “safe” to eat in pregnancy? - Which foods should I eat for a healthy pregnancy? - How can I eat to support healthy growth of my baby? - How can I manage my blood sugar naturally? - How can I have more energy and less swelling? - Which prenatal vitamin should I be taking, if at all? - My iron supplement makes me constipated, what should I do? - Which kind of exercise is safe in pregnancy? - I’m having twins, how can I support my pregnancy? Key focus areas: - Emphasising intake of foods and nutrients that help grow a healthy baby - Minimising foods that impede a healthy pregnancy - Navigating pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue and swelling - Navigating food cravings and aversions - Managing gestational diabetes and other pregnancy complications with a real food approach - Supporting multiples - Supporting appropriate exercise and movement - Treating iron deficiency and other nutrient deficiencies - Preparing for birth and postpartum planning POSTPARTUM CARE Postpartum care focuses on the mother’s (often-overlooked) recovery from birth and supports healthy, nutrient rich breastmilk to nourish and sustain the growing newborn. Compared to often rudimentary and short-lived conventional postpartum care, we support mother’s for as long as they need. Postpartum is forever and supporting the mother’s recovery can help prevent compounding health issues over multiple pregnancies. - What should I eat in postpartum if I am breastfeeding vs bottle feeding? - Why am I so hungry? - Does my diet affect my breast milk? - When should I get blood tests done? - I was told my blood test are “normal” but I don’t feel normal, what can I do? - How can I eat to support my energy and mood? - Can certain foods help my body recover from labour and birth? - Is my hair loss normal? - I think I might have post-natal depletion, what can I do? - How can I fix my iron deficiency? Key focus areas: - Nutritional support for breastfeeding - Supporting post-birth recovery and healing - Identifying and treating nutrient deficiencies - Supporting healthy hormones and reproductive function - Nervous system and energy support - “Post-natal depletion” treatment SERVICES 1:1 Consultations – online, Australia wide TESTING - Blood test/pathology scripts - DUTCH testing - Co-Biome GI mapping - Others as needed PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE Many providers offer rebates.

Hi there, I’m Jade. I’m a mother, Nutritionist, yogi and founder of Nom Nom Nutrition, now living in Mordialloc, Victoria with my husband Jeremy and our gorgeous bubs, Tara and soon-to-be born baby boy. And I’m on a mission to inspire others to make health a priority in their lives. As a practicing Nutritionist, I have seen my patients lives change from adopting an holistic whole foods diet customised to their needs.

I’ve always had a natural connection to the land and an interest in natural medicine from a young age. In my teenage years, I experienced ongoing health challenges and underwent extensive testing, but struggled to find answers. I often felt unheard and overlooked, even when working with trusted practitioners. This experience led me to explore alternative approaches more deeply. When I came across the idea of herbal medicine, something clicked. I felt drawn to understand the body on a deeper level and support others who may feel the same frustration. My goal is to help people feel seen, heard, and supported in their health journey.  My practice is centred on understanding the underlying drivers of your health concerns, by looking at the whole picture, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of traditional and evidence-based naturopathy to create practical treatment plans that are thoughtful, individualised and align with your life, to support lasting, realistic change. You’ll be listened to, supported, and guided with clarity every step of the way, so you can feel informed and confident in your health journey.

I do support by providing dietary advice, lifestyle advice, and supplement protocols, which is tailored to you. This can be modified and adjusted through the treatment period.

Belief as nutritionists -Food as medicine -We are what we eat (indivisibility of the body and the -land because the body is made from food and food is made from the land) -Farm to fork -Healthy people can make healthy society

I combine my passion for scientific research with more traditional modes of understanding to get to the bottom of my patients' health issues. I strongly feel that herbs and supplements are not enough to elicit long-term change. Challenging underlying belief patterns and providing thorough education on health and dysfunction plays an important role in my patients' road to recovery. I have a special passion for hormonal health and fertility support having been through my own fertility journey and supported many couples in navigating their varied fertility pathways. I am currently writing a fertility book - keep your eye out :)
