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 Unfortunately, much of the advice around pregnancy nutrition and lifestyle is outdated or incorrect.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.
