Good Nutrition for the first 1000 Days
Nurturing You and Your Growing Family
The 'first 1000 days' refers to the period from conception to a child's second birthday. These early days represent a critical window of opportunity for shaping a child's long-term health, growth, and development.
A healthy environment, which focuses on optimising lifestyle and nutrition, is recognised to influence lifelong health of both mum and baby. Good nutrition boosts a child’s physical and cognitive development, prevents deficiencies, reduces infection and the risk of developing chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, mental health problems and allergies.

What We Do
Each person’s journey to becoming a parent is unique and changes, depending on the stage. We identify the stages as distinct steps, each with slightly different experiences, needs and challenges for mum and for bub. We take time to understand your individual situation so we can create a thorough recommendation, based on latest evidence, while being realistic and doable.
Optimise and Nourish
We dive deep into what you or your child eats and drinks and guide you to make realistic changes to optimise nutrition, based on your current stage in the 1000-day journey.
Evidence-based Knowledge
We are able to analyse your overall intake to identify and personalise exactly where you are lacking in nutrition. We use this information to optimise your nutrition and possible targeted supplementation.
Practical Strategies & Tools
Our evidence-based advice is translated into simple, practical and realistic strategies, taking the guess work out of the ‘where’ and the ‘how to’.
Growth Monitoring
Supporting healthy weight gain diving and after pregnancy and optimising your little one’s growth and development to give you peace of mind.
Supplementation Guidance
We tailor your prenatal, pregnancy and postnatal supplements by understanding where you may have gaps in your nutrition. Remember, you will have increased requirements based on your food intake, age, stage, medication, medical history and preexisting deficiencies.
Omega 3 & Vit D Testing
Both omega 3 and vitamin D play a vital role in fertility, pregnancy and postnatal outcomes. We are able to test your levels (blood & breast) using OmegaQuant testing kits. This allows us to personalise your food and supplement intake to safely optimise your levels.
