Your Guide To Conscious Preconception

 I'll never forget hearing a podcast and a woman said "we spend all this time and money for the perfect wedding body, but for the perfect preconception body, not any?"

It always stuck with me and made so much sense. Why aren't couples spending a period of time ensuring they are in the best possible health prior to conception, not only for their child, but for themselves.

Why wouldn't we want the healthiest offspring and also the healthiest versions of ourselves to parent that offspring?

Recommended By Industry Professionals

  • Reading this book, not only did I find it aligned with ancient wisdom for modern times philosophy, which I think is so key for postpartum success, but I also find it warm and inspiring. In writing this book, Caitlin and Tahlia show a deep understanding in the concept of "heart mother care."

  • Love this book. You can’t nurture unless you are being nurtured. Recommended to all my clients, makes the postpartum accessible and doable. Written by two local women who have walked the talk.

  • Nourishing Those Who Nurture guides the way for a great shift in the way we are supporting mothers and families in postpartum that is very needed in our society. A beautiful blend of ancient and traditional wisdom in a way that is easy to integrate into our modern world. I found the recipes delicious with a sound understanding of the digestive and delicate needs of a postpartum mother and her body.

  • Nourishing Those Who Nurture is so much more than a beautiful book for postpartum mothers and doulas, it is well-researched with nutritional information and easy recipes for essential fourth trimester support. This book is high on the list of my recommended reading for doulas caring for newborn families.

Our Postpartum Guide

More Than a Food Bible for New Mothers 

Postpartum is a Latin term meaning ‘after childbirth’. Postpartum recovery can range from a few days to a few weeks, months or years depending on the birth itself, and the integration of becoming a mother. Postpartum is the least supported aspect of birth at present, as most of the focus is currently on fertility, conception, pregnancy, and of course, labour and birth itself.

Postpartum is the time when illnesses can arise, immunity can drop, fatigue can set in, loneliness can be felt, and of course, postpartum depression or depletion can occur.

This is a postpartum bible. Pass it on to those who will hold you in your newborn stages and ensure that it is read, reread, and then used to create edible delicacies that can sustain you in the darkest of nights and the earliest of hours to ensure that you too are nourished in your new passage as Mother.
