Nutrition Support that Actually Makes Sense for Your Pregnancy + Postpartum Journey 

Pregnant or postpartum women deserve to nourish themselves well.

I help women become confident in eating well before, during, and after pregnancy, so they can take one big to-do off their list and look back on this time feeling good about how they nourished themselves and their babies.

IS THIS YOU?

Have you ever felt like...

  • There are many things you "shouldn't" eat in pregnancy but no guidance on what you should eat?

  • Postpartum nutrition gets totally overshadowed by feeding your baby?

  • Nutrition is out of touch with the realities of pregnancy and postpartum life?

It's not just you!

MEET THE FOOD DOULA

Your guide to simplified perinatal nutrition!

I'm Lindsay, a health expert, award-winning cookbook author, and founder of The Food Doula and The Professional Perinatal Nutrition Program. My mission is to equip women with practical tools and evidence-based tips that make it easy to nourish themselves and their babies.

HERE’S HOW PRACTICAL NUTRITION SUPPORT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

  • "As I entered my first pregnancy, all the information I was finding was about what not to do. When I found Lindsay it was such a relief to get modern, scientific advice about what I could do to have a healthy pregnancy and I was able to eat confidently with her guidance."

    ADDIE

  • “Prior to this course, I found it really difficult to speak to any particular prenatal-nutrition topic confidently. I never felt I had "all the information". This course pulled all of that information together in a cohesive structure that was backed by research while being presented in a way that made it practical to apply to clients.”

    KELLY

  • “ She helped me immensely to balance my meals so I was getting all the nutrients I needed, helped me navigate symptoms I have been having for YEARS that I now no longer have and was there to help me prepare my body for IVF.”

    BECCA

  • "After every class I felt so inspired and my head was buzzing with ideas to share this with my clients and other birth workers. Lindsay has a gift to make even 'difficult' topics easy to understand and can turn the dry information into very practical tips on how to implement the knowledge in real life."
