FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION FOR POSTPARTUM & DEPLETED MOMS

Food that’s for you, support that gets you

Because the day-to-day feels easier when you’re nourished and you feel more like you

Your body’s been through a lot, and it has a whole lot to say

Maybe you’re a few weeks postpartum and want to know how to nourish yourself well in this season. Or you’re months in, exhausted all the time, eating scraps, and feeling depleted. Or maybe your kids are older, but you’re still wondering “what happened to me”.

You’ve probably been told it’s all just a normal part of early motherhood, and maybe some of it’s true, but you know your body, and this doesn’t feel like just “i’m tired” anymore.

So let's get quiet and tune in to see what your body actually needs. Through functional nutrition, lab interpretation, and personalized lifestyle plans, you & I work together to  help you re-balance and feel at peace in your body again.

How we can work together

Hi there, I’m Jessica

mom, wife, and dietitian who’s been where you are

Within the first year after having my second, I hit a low point physically, mentally, and emotionally. I remember sitting on the floor, feeling hopeless and confused, unsure where to go or who to look for that could help me understand what was happening in my body

After years working as a Dietitian, I saw firsthand how often women, especially postpartum moms, fall through the cracks of traditional care. They’re cleared after 6 weeks, and then that’s it. Continued support is lacking in a season where so much change and transition happens in a short period of time.

That’s where I come in. I work alongside your existing care team to bring the nutrition and lifestyle support that helps make the difference for the long haul.

My approach is whole-body, root-focused. We’ll take a look at your nutrition status, stress, digestion, and daily rhythms to uncover what your body’s really asking for.

A little about me: I’m a mom of two, a wife, and someone who’s rarely without multiple drinks in hand. I’ll always choose morning over night, tea over coffee, and long chats by the fire on a crisp Chicago Summer night over small talk any day. Between toddler life and work, I know what chaos feels like, and I’m here to help you find your calm in the middle of it.

Where your body *meets* food, and me, a dietitian who understands the nuance of it all

Pulling from evidence-based practice and your personal story to craft a way of eating that isn't rigid or extreme, but sustainable and supportive
