Nourishing the vessel for every season: Preconception, Pregnancy, Postpartum, & guidance on nourishing your baby

If you have felt the call to become a mother, you know that sensation and the way the body speaks has its own language. It’s a knowing.

This is the beginning of the strengthening and deepening connection with your instincts, intuition, and primal compass.

I felt this call. I was cleaning our then apartment. My partner, Jeremy, was out of town at a Vipassana (a silent meditation retreat). I can not explain it to do it justice, but the best way to describe it was as though something dropped in me. There was a switch. And I knew.

Previous to this, I had been exploring my relationship with my cycle and body in a way that felt more intimate, caring, and loving. It isn’t lost on me when I look back at how the timing unfolded. Something knew. I was consciously ready.

What ensued was a two-year preconception journey that became ripe with wisdom, which I am grateful to now embody. The foods that were a yes, that used to feel like a no. The foods that were a no, that used to feel like a yes.

The continual pruning and caring for my energy in every way. Reorienting relationships, movement practices, and most significantly, getting honest about what nourishes me physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

Noticing where I felt a lack of safety in my body, home, and relationships.

To answer the call meant getting honest to make the shifts that would support a space that not only felt like but was a true place of safety for life to flourish.

Answer The Call is a 6-week intimate group setting for women who are either on the journey to become pregnant, are pregnant, are in the early stages of postpartum, or have an interest in exploring a deeper level of nourishment for body, mind, spirit, and energy.

To become a vessel that is aligned for your unique baby. Honouring the uniqueness of the woman you are wholeheartedly, and participating in what is required to BE the home for a soul to land.

What we will explore:

• Fundamental pillars of physical nourishment for all seasons. Taking great care to honour the uniqueness of the individual body and honouring listening to the vital instincts that will support guiding what sustenance is truly for YOU.

• Creating space to feel what is being asked to shift to make space for the inner and outer landscapes to become the safety required for baby to land.

• The practice of staying in your lane, trusting how your intuition is being strengthened. There is a lot of noise out there, you’re being asked to turn toward your compass and truth like never before

• Radical honesty in every relationship, starting with self. Softening in the confrontation of various patterns or habits and hardening around opening our hearts, being seen, the shifts that are being asked to be made with food, movement, and relationship to trust.

• Basics- relationship to food and responsibility to being the vessel- what this means now, stepping up to this sacred ask of answering the call.

What you receive:

• Six live calls for six weeks. These will be recorded if you cannot make it live, though I encourage you do your best to. Connection in-between calls via a group chat and 1-1 Marco Polo with me for any questions and to be seen in anything that shows up.

• Access to the draft of my recipe cookbook, Matriarch Meals. As part of this beta round of Answer the Call, you are getting to be the first to experience the recipes that I personally created and ate during my pregnancy and postpartum that literally changed my blood work from low iron and minerals to above baseline.

• An intimate setting to allow for real witnessing, sharing, and clearing anything that has felt confronting. One of the most important pieces of my journey was to be in a safe space with other women who “got” it. Where I could voice everything and be heard and witnessed. Being on a journey with others, I felt less alone and more trusting in the divine outcome that was meant for me.

Disclaimer:

• I am not a fertility specialist, a doctor, a naturopath, or nutritionist.

• I AM a woman who has been on this journey to become a safe and vital home for a baby for many years (I did not have a bleed for 9 years; it took a lot of repair and honesty). I am a Certified Integrative Health Coach, where I bring my intuitive gifts to feel beyond the tangible. I am a chef, and I am a Mother to a robust, healthy, and strong silly girl, Koji.

• I have walked this path. I have supported women on their journey, and I have been asked to share my wisdom from my experience for over a year. Now, I am.

This is a beta round. I am in a season of life (orienting after the initiation of motherhood), where I am following the calls to give energy to creations that feel needed and I am passionate about. Answer The Call may become a longer form container with a higher price point. This first round will be a space for me to learn how it gets to evolve to better support others. Thank you for being a part of this experience <3
