Pregnancy & Postpartum Support
What herbs are safe during pregnancy?
Some herbs are beautifully supportive in pregnancy. Some of my favourites are chamomile, lemon balm, raspberry leaf (in the later stages), nettle, and oatstraw. I carefully select herbs for safety, trimester use, and your individual needs.
​
Can I drink raspberry leaf tea in the first trimester?
Raspberry leaf is traditionally reserved for the third trimester due to its uterine-toning properties. I often include it in birth prep blends, as well as postpartum blends, where it can continue to assist with toning the uterus post-birth.
​
What can help with morning sickness naturally?
Keeping blood sugar steady, eating smaller meals more frequently, and having protein-rich snacks can also make a big difference. There are herbs and supplements that can also be helpful, but this is often highly individualised - a consult can help to figure out whats suitable for you.
Consultations
What happens in a 1:1 consult?
We explore your health, lifestyle, and the season you're in - whether pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond. You’ll receive a personalised plan including herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle support. For more information, see my blog posts about both pregnancy and postpartum consults, or get in touch and I'm happy to answer any questions. If you're ready to book, simply head to my booking page.
​
Do you offer virtual consults?
Yes - all consults are currently online and available Australia-wide. You’ll receive your plan via email, and any herbs/supplements can be shipped to your door.
​
Can I book a consult while I’m still pregnant?
Absolutely! Pregnancy is a powerful time to tune into your health and prepare for birth and postpartum, and it's one of my favourite seasons to support. Information about pregnancy health and nutrition is often outdated, conflicting, and overwhelming. Working together means you'll be guided through each semester with tailored support to help you feel confident in the choices you're making.
There are so many niggling questions that pop up throughout pregnancy - and Google, Reddit and 'Chatty' are not your friends here! Thats why my pregnancy package also includes direct message access, so you have access to trusted support whenever you need it.
Herbal Products
Can I use your products while breastfeeding?
Yes - all blends are formulated with breastfeeding in mind unless otherwise stated. If you're unsure, just reach out.
Can I request a custom herbal tea blend?
Yes! Custom blends are one of my favourite things to make - tailored to your body, symptoms, and preferences. Get in touch if you're looking for something in particular.
Free Guides & Resources
Do you offer any free pregnancy or postpartum resources?
Yes! I’ve created two free downloadable guides to support you through pregnancy and postpartum - My Pregnancy & Postpartum Essentials Guide, and my Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Support in the Nambucca Valley.
What's in the Pregnancy & Postpartum Essentials Guide?
After being asked many times if I had a list of pregnancy and postpartum supplies, I created this guide as an easy way to share. Inside is a curated list of the items I found most helpful - I always choose low tox options where possible, keeping affordability and simplicity in mind.
​
What's in the Free Guide to Pregnancy and Postpartum Support in the Nambucca Valley?
This guide is a local resource for women on the Mid North Coast. It includes trusted local practitioners, holistic service providers, and support options for pregnancy, birth and postpartum across the Nambucca Valley and surrounds. Sometimes it can be difficult to find practitioners in a new location, so if you're new here, or even if you've lived in the area for a while, I hope you find this guide helpful.
Shipping & Orders
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes, I ship herbal products across Australia. Nambucca Valley locals can also request local pick-up.
​
How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders are usually packed within 2–3 business days. Shipping times vary by location, but I’ll send tracking info once it’s on the way.
