Nutrition Support that Actually Makes Sense for Your Pregnancy + Postpartum Journey 

Pregnant or postpartum women deserve to nourish themselves well.

I help women become confident in eating well before, during, and after pregnancy, so they can take one big to-do off their list and look back on this time feeling good about how they nourished themselves and their babies.

IS THIS YOU?

Have you ever felt like...

  • There are many things you "shouldn't" eat in pregnancy but no guidance on what you should eat?

  • Postpartum nutrition gets totally overshadowed by feeding your baby?

  • Nutrition is out of touch with the realities of pregnancy and postpartum life?

It's not just you!

MEET THE FOOD DOULA

Your guide to simplified perinatal nutrition!

I'm Lindsay, a health expert, award-winning cookbook author, and founder of The Food Doula and The Professional Perinatal Nutrition Program. My mission is to equip women with practical tools and evidence-based tips that make it easy to nourish themselves and their babies.

HERE’S HOW PRACTICAL NUTRITION SUPPORT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

  • "As I entered my first pregnancy, all the information I was finding was about what not to do. When I found Lindsay it was such a relief to get modern, scientific advice about what I could do to have a healthy pregnancy and I was able to eat confidently with her guidance."

    ADDIE

  • “Prior to this course, I found it really difficult to speak to any particular prenatal-nutrition topic confidently. I never felt I had "all the information". This course pulled all of that information together in a cohesive structure that was backed by research while being presented in a way that made it practical to apply to clients.”

    KELLY

  • “ She helped me immensely to balance my meals so I was getting all the nutrients I needed, helped me navigate symptoms I have been having for YEARS that I now no longer have and was there to help me prepare my body for IVF.”

    BECCA

  • "After every class I felt so inspired and my head was buzzing with ideas to share this with my clients and other birth workers. Lindsay has a gift to make even 'difficult' topics easy to understand and can turn the dry information into very practical tips on how to implement the knowledge in real life."

These healthy pumpkin muffins have 6g of protein each (plus awesome fibre and good fats!) but taste like a seasonal sweet treat you’d get at a coffee shop while you look out at the turning leaves and autumn decor on the front stoop.
