At Mother and Kin, I adopt a non-restrictive diet approach, emphasizing the addition of nutrient-dense foods rather than imposing strict food rules or diets.

My philosophy centers around personalized education on dietary intake and understanding symptom development, which I believe is essential in effectively empowering a person to manage their own health.

I commonly support people with:

Type 2 diabetes

Elevated insulin

High cholesterol

Hemochromatosis

Anaemia

Weight loss

Gut health complaints (IBS, IBD, chronic unidentified gut issues)

Mild allergies

Immune health

Children's health

Women's Hormone Health

I provide simple, achievable strategies that incorporate these nutrient-rich foods, allowing my clients to make sustainable lifestyle changes. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to manage your condition effectively while fostering a healthy relationship with food.

I will spend 90 minutes understanding your full health history and then provide highly specific and evidence-based nutrition advice tailored to preconception and IVF treatments.

I may also provide lifestyle advice, therapeutic grade supplement scripts, functional testing, pathology interpretation and referrals (if required), as well as on going support.

I offer personalised nutritional advice to meet the needs of you and your developing baby, factoring in your current diet and potential development of deficiencies.

I will ensure essential nutrient intake is maintained, manage pregnancy related conditions, reduce the risk of infant allergies and address any dietary concerns you may have.

This approach reduces pregnancy complications, supports prenatal health, infant health, labor preparation, and postpartum recovery.

At MKN, I understand that breastfeeding is more nutritionally demanding than pregnancy. This critical time often sees mothers shift their focus entirely to their new baby, sometimes neglecting their own nutritional needs or unnecessarily eliminating nutrient-dense foods due to concerns over infant fussiness.

During our consult I will assess your current diet and provide tailored, practical advice to ensure that you are nourishing yourself adequately during this period to help you maintain optimal health and energy levels.

I will help troubleshoot infant fussiness related to your diet, and ensure that both you and your baby are getting the nutrients you need to thrive.

I understand that pregnancy and postpartum are nutritionally demanding and often sleep-depriving times, which can also trigger autoimmune diseases and postpartum thyroiditis. While I may not have the magic to make your newborn sleep perfectly, my services are designed to provide comprehensive support during this critical period.

I can help new mothers by:

- Identifying and addressing nutritional deficiencies.

- Rebuilding nutrient stores and supporting dietary choices.

- Support mental health.

- Support energy levels to combat fatigue.

Our holistic approach ensures that you are well-equipped to handle the physical and emotional demands of motherhood, helping you achieve optimal health for both you and your family.

As a family focused on endurance sports (triathlons, ironman and ultra marathons) we have personal experience and interest in sports nutrition for endurance athletes.

MKN offers specialized consulting for endurance athletes, like ironman and ultra-marathoners, focusing on sports nutrition to optimize performance, recovery, energy maintenance.

Additionally I also address gut health, managing symptoms like bloating, cramping, irregular bowel movements and nausea experienced by many endurance athletes. My integrative approach ensures athletes achieve their goals while maintaining peak gut health.
