Navigating nutritional challenges during pregnancy can seem scary.

During pregnancy you might find yourself wondering if you are eating enough, or whether or not what you are eating is harming the development of your baby. Things can be even more challenging when trying to navigate pregnancy under more complex circumstances. Maybe you just went vegan, maybe you have a medical condition such as diabetes, or maybe you are in recovery from an eating disorder? Every woman's pregnancy looks different.

That is why I am here to help you navigate the nutritional demands of pregnancy no matter what your circumstance looks like.

I help you apply the latest research in medical nutrition therapy for pregnancy so that we can ensure we are covering all bases necessary to support a healthy pregnancy and post-partum recovery. I will also work with you to incorporate healthy habits to support your general health and desired goals.
‍
During our biweekly visits, I will show you simple and effective ways to meet your nutrient needs during each stage of pregnancy using predominantly whole foods. I will also help you manage nutrition-related complications of pregnancy if they arise, such as constipation, nausea, or gestational diabetes.

I will be right there to help you every step of the way. I will also pray fervently for you as your sister in Christ daily, interceding for you to have a healthy pregnancy through and through, after all, Jesus Christ is the ultimate protector over the womb.

I have been under Ciara's care and guidance for a few weeks learning more about diabetes and what to eat. Ciara's kind nature allowed me to be more open with her and I felt comfortable to be completely honest as well. Ciara was very attentive to my concerns regarding how many macronutrients I should have per meal and per day. She always sent me little reminders to help me stay on track whether it was to check my blood glucose throughout the day or providing me with a new recipe to try. In addition, she was very supportive.

Happy Patron

Ciara is very professional and easy-going. She made me feel at ease and welcomed at the very first session, and gave me lots of advice on healthy eating. Back then, I was struggling with poor eating habits (craving for food and excessive indulgence), she asked me questions from both physical and psychological perspectives to help figure out the reason. Beyond that, she made recommendations based on my needs and wants. I am very impressed by her willingness to listen to the patient and the dedication to her field. Highly recommend!
