Preconception, Pregnancy & Postpartum Support
Are 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. There are, of course, herbs that are unsafe, which is why working with a practitioner is so important.
Can I drink raspberry leaf tea in the first trimester?
Raspberry leaf is currently recommended 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. Traditionally, it has been used throughout the entire pregnancy, so use at your discretion.
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.
Do you offer continuity of care?
Absolutely! Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are some of the most powerful transformations of your life. They are not meant to be figured out alone through Google searches - you don't need more information, you need someone who can help you make sense of what you are experiencing.
My packages offer what actually makes a difference: experienced guidance that stays with you the entire time, not just during appointments.
You do not need to know exactly what you need yet - my packages are designed to meet you where you are, and support you through one of the most significant transitions of your life.
There are so many niggling questions that pop up throughout pregnancy - and Google, Reddit and 'Chatty' are not your friends here! Thats why my packages also include 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.
