General Questions About Working With Me
For package clients, I offer email support between sessions (response time 1-3 business days) to answer quick questions and provide ongoing guidance.
You can book a single session for a quick action plan, or choose a coaching package if you want ongoing, in-depth support.
I primarily work with women but also support couples preparing for conception, as male fertility is equally important in the process.

A personalized, deep-dive conversation where we explore your current health, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. You’ll walk away with a customized plan tailored to your unique needs—including dietary recommendations, supplement suggestions, and actionable lifestyle shifts.
While dietitians often work in clinical settings and focus on disease management, I take a holistic approach that considers nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and environmental factors to support natural healing and hormone balance. My methods prioritize real, whole foods and sustainable habits rather than restrictive dieting.
A Certified Nutrition Consultant specializes in using nutrition and lifestyle strategies to optimize health, improve digestion, balance hormones, and support overall well-being. My focus is on preconception, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum health, helping women and couples nourish their bodies for optimal reproductive and hormonal function.
Fertility & Preconception Questions
On average, 3-6 months of consistent changes can improve egg quality, regulate cycles, and enhance fertility. Everybody is different, so results vary.
The foundations are similar—optimizing egg and sperm quality, balancing hormones, and reducing stress—but IVF preparation may require additional targeted nutrition and supplementation to support egg retrieval, implantation, and hormonal medications.
Absolutely! Blood sugar balance, inflammation reduction, and hormone support through diet and lifestyle can significantly improve ovulation and fertility outcomes for women with PCOS.
I recommend testing for:
- Hormones: AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone
- Thyroid function: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Thyroid Antibodies
- Nutrient levels: Vitamin D, Iron, B12, Magnesium
- Blood sugar & inflammation markers
If you need help interpreting your results, I offer lab review sessions.
Yes! A high-quality prenatal vitamin helps fill in nutritional gaps, ensuring you have optimal levels of folate, iron, and other key nutrients before conception.
Ideally, 3-6 months before conception, as it takes about 90 days for eggs to mature. This gives your body time to replenish nutrient stores, balance hormones, and optimize fertility.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions
Around 6 months, starting with iron-rich foods and healthy fats. I offer baby-led weaning and puree guidance to simplify the process.
Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods (healthy fats, quality protein, leafy greens) and stay hydrated. I also provide breastfeeding nutrition guidance.
Foods high in healthy fats, protein, iron, and collagen support tissue repair and energy levels for labor and postpartum healing.
Eating small, protein-rich meals, ginger, B6-rich foods, and hydrating well can help. I provide customized first-trimester nutrition plans for nausea relief.
Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Questions
Not necessarily. Some women feel better reducing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy, but it depends on individual sensitivities.
A healthy gut helps eliminate excess estrogen, supports immune function, and aids nutrient absorption—all crucial for hormone balance and fertility.
Chronic stress raises cortisol, which can disrupt ovulation, progesterone levels, and thyroid function. Managing stress through nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes is key.
While food is the foundation, some nutrients (like vitamin D, omega-3s, and magnesium) are hard to get from diet alone. I help clients choose high-quality, targeted supplements based on their needs.
