WE DIVE INTO the topic of Preparing for and Getting through Pregnancy. WE GO DEEP with Naturopath Jennifer Ward who OPENS UP about how she prepared for pregnancy and about her experience in all trimesters of pregnancy and birth.

We discuss the benefits of taking 12 months to prepare for pregnancy instead of the commonly recommended 3 months.

 

Why should we care about periconception health?

Jennifer chats about how she prepared for baby including her lifestyle, diet, minimizing chemical exposures, exercise, supplements, stress management and other tips

She talks about how she included her partner in pregnancy planning and preparation for the birth of their child.

 

A little bit about Jennifer Ward:

She is a Senior Naturopath and owner of Halsa Health; is trained in herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, health & lifestyle coaching and is currently completing a Masters of Reproductive Medicine.

 

Her passion lies in reproductive health. The journey to becoming a first-time mother is an exciting and often overwhelming time, and Jennifer provides support and guidance through the journey from deciding to start trying, all the way into the fourth trimester. She works with each patient and their healthcare team including GP's, midwives, Obstetricians, doula's, acupuncturists.

 

Jennifer’s journey to naturopathic fertility care began when she started to plan for her first child, Lily. Through her own positive experience, she was able to better understand the journey to motherhood each step of the way which she is now fortunate to pass on to her patients. Her journey inspired further studies into Reproductive Medicine which is assisting her to bridge the gap between the world of medicine and alternative therapies.

 

Jennifer finds it most rewarding when her patients speak positively about their pregnancy experience and carry on that vitality into the fourth trimester and beyond.

I hope you enjoy our chat.
