Eating healthy snacks during pregnancy and the postpartum recovery period is important for your health and the baby's health. Healthy snacks can help you meet the increased calorie, protein and iron requirements of pregnancy.

Taking care of yourself should be a priority. There are many benefits of exercise that can actually help you keep up with your busy mom schedule. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle has been show to increase energy levels, decrease depression/anxiety, decrease risk of disease and improve your self esteem.

This led me to exploring the world of maternal health and fitness. Already being in the healthcare field, I enjoyed helping others.  As I started to learn more about how the body changes during pregnancy, I understood the importance of educating women on how to safely engage in exercise and maintain healthy habits. The more connections I made, the more I realized that this information is so necessary. I became intentional about educating my community on the positive effects of taking charge of their maternal health and wellness.
