“What to Eat When Eating for Two”

Prenatal Nutrition & Health Workshop for Expectant Mothers (and Fathers or partners!)  in their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Trimesters and for Couples thinking about a Future Pregnancy.

This is not just another prenatal nutrition class telling you to stuff your face with as many leafy greens and whole grains as you can!  Leah teaches pregnant moms how to feel the effects that different foods can have on you as an individual.  Onediet doesn’t work for every woman!  Learn the difference between good quality protein and poor quality protein, find freedom with healthy fats, figure out how much sugar you are actually eating and what effect that has on your growing baby.  Learn how to heal naturally with real foods, herbs, lifestyle, and nutritional supplements.  Leah never has clients count calories and her focus is on quality of foods rather than quantity of foods.  Eating should be fun and enjoyable!  The habits you start to form now will effect your child in the womb and beyond. Learning how to eat healthy now will give you the tools you need as a Mom to feed your child wisely, but still emphasizing how good real food can taste!

Class topics include:

• How to eat well to maximize your nutrient intake for two (or three or four)!
• Learn skills for healthy meal planning, grocery shopping tips, and stocking a whole foods pantry.
• Identify foods, lifestyle habits and other circumstances to avoid or minimize the risk of harm to your growing baby.

• Learn about herbal and natural remedies to safely address common pregnancy complaints such as nausea, heartburn, constipation, fatigue and more.
