Womens Fertility
Taking time to improve your health before you fall pregnant reduces the risks of complications during pregnancy and helps you feel more energised once you fall pregnant.
Our Naturopath & Nutritionist Elysia will help you achieve good health before you conceive. Your body is the temple that your baby grows within. Your vitamin and mineral levels before you fall pregnant are extremely important. Once you are pregnant, your baby needs huge amounts of nutrients to grow, which can leave you deficient and feeling drained. If you choose to breastfeed, much of your nutrients go into the breast milk to help baby thrive. Boosting your nutrition and health before you fall pregnant will boost your health to avoid any deficiencies once you are pregnant.

Client testimonial - healthy pregnancy
"I first met with Elysia when planning my pregnancy as I was looking for some advice on ensuring my body had the appropriate vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements to assist in a successful pregnancy.
The supplements helped prepare my body for pregnancy and I was able to fall pregnant very quickly. During the pregnancy, Elysia has been very supportive in providing both dietary and supplemental advice to alleviate my pregnancy related symptoms such as nausea, tiredness and digestion. I have even received comments from medical staff expressing the benefits of the supplements I am taking over standard off the shelf varieties. I would recommend the use of a Naturopath, and in particular Elysia, to anyone looking to prepare their body for pre-conception." Louise Fitzgerald
