How it all began…

Holistic Mum and Baby was born around the time I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Everything in me wanted to do right by this little life I was creating inside of me.

As I am sure most mothers feel – for the first time there was somebody else that was relying on me to look after them.

Having studied and had a deep interest in health and fitness for many years ‘being healthy’ was nothing new to me … or so I thought. The more research I did, the more I read and the more I studied I began to realise this vision of health I had was a little blurry !

When my health visitor advised me to run along to the chemist and get some Folic acid tablets as it would help with my babies growth and brain development, that’s exactly what I did. It was only on my way home and upon reading the ingredients list on the package I discovered that sure enough about 20 ingredients later there it was ‘Folic Acid’ the last ingredient after many bulking agents and fillers . For those that don’t know an ingredients list is made by putting what there is most of in the product first and what there is least of goes last. Folic Acid was the last ingredient ….. an after thought. My interest grew and I read on to learn that Folic acid was actually a “synthetic form of folate”… As in made by chemical synthesis “to imitate a natural product”

NO THANKS I thought …. I WANT THE REAL THING FOR ME AND MY BABY !! The real thing I discovered that would help my babies development was called Folate …..where could I find this magical vitamin ??

Needless to say the tablets went in the bin and that is where it all began. My interest in Real Food, Holistic and Organic Living grew and my awareness for how essential and important it is for mine and my babies health. I am no doctor or medical practioner, I am a mum and a Holistic Lifestyle Coach who is seriously passionate about true health and what goes in mine and my families precious bodies. I would love to share with you what has worked for us and hope to empower you on your journey of healthy living  …… it is an overwhelming place out there for a first time mum and if I can make it even the slightest bit easier for someone it will make me Happy
