Postpartum Dietitian/Nutritionist and Lactation Consultant - Charlotte, NC & Virtual

Nourish your body and baby in postpartum.

Are you:

  • newly postpartum and confused about what to eat or what vitamins to take while breastfeeding?

  • having difficulties with latching, pain with nursing, pumping, or low milk supply?

  • not breastfeeding, but wanting inclusive and compassionate support for feeding your newborn?

  • feeling depleted, lost, and out of routine when it comes to feeding yourself and your newborn?

  • in recovery from disordered eating, and need extra support in nourishing your body during postpartum?

  • finding it difficult to have positive body image and nourish your body after baby?

We see you.

The pressure to lose weight and “bounce back” is real. Postpartum should be a time of healing and connecting with your newborn, but diet culture and societal pressures to be the “perfect” parent can really disconnect us from what we value. Throw in any newborn feeding issues, and it can feel like your world is crumbling.

In reality, prioritizing YOUR nourishment is the first step in a healthy postpartum recovery. It’s also the first step in showing up for your newborn as the best version of yourself. Getting compassionate, professional support for lactation and newborn feeding issues right alongside your own support is the best way to round out nutrition care for you and your baby.

If you’re ready to leave diet culture behind and build a more intuitive relationship with food that you can pass on to your growing child, we would absolutely love to work with you.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Lactation and newborn feeding: no matter how you decide to feed your newborn, our board certified lactation consultant is here to help you nourish your baby confidently.

  • Weight-inclusive postpartum nutrition: come as you are and learn intuitive eating basics for postpartum to nourish the body you have now.

  • Eating disorders and disordered eating in postpartum: find peace with your changing body and heal your relationship with food as you transition into parenthood.

While our current medical model often uses shame and regimented diet patterns to optimize newborn health, we empower every client we work with to pursue optimal nutrition in postpartum using a flexible, mindful, body positive approach. This is because people who have difficulties with disordered eating in postpartum may also struggle with:

  • increased risk for gestational diabetes

  • anxiety & depression

  • inadequate fetal growth

  • fatigue & difficulty focusing

  • blood pressure concerns

  • nutrient deficiencies

You deserve better.

You deserve a peaceful relationship with food and your body. You deserve to be free of the diet rules that have taken over your life and damaged your health. You deserve to to be nourished, no matter your body size.

Your baby’s health is important, but your mental and physical health are equally as important.
