☀️ Vitamin D for babies is something many parents are only just learning about—and you’re not alone if it’s new to you.

🤱🏻Current guidance recommends 400 IU daily for breastfed infants from soon after birth, while formula-fed babies usually meet needs if having ~1L per day.

👶🏽Direct infant supplementation is often more effective than relying on maternal dosing alone.

🦴 Consistent vitamin D support plays an important role in healthy bones, immune function, and overall growth.

For personalised support, always check in with a qualified naturopath. 🙂

If you’re feeling drained, moody, or just off while breastfeeding, a naturopath can help support your energy, hormones, nervous system, digestion, and overall wellbeing — so you can start feeling like you again. ❤️

Before supplements, focus on the foundations for preconception and pregnancy 🤍

These simple habits create the environment for a healthy pregnancy.

Start with the basics:

🥗 Nourishing diet – whole, nutrient-dense foods.

💧 Hydration – Water supports
circulation, nutrient delivery
and overall health.

🍷 Alcohol – Reducing or avoiding alcohol
can support egg quality
and healthy fetal development.

🌿 Reduce toxin exposure – Be mindful of: plastics, pesticides, fragrances and household chemicals.

💤 Sleep – Prioritise restorative sleep. Bypass this one if you already have young babies!

🧘 Stress – supporting your nervous system helps to regulating cortisol and reproductive hormones, which can improve ovulation, menstrual regularity, and overall fertility.

🚭 Smoking & substance exposure - avoid these to support egg and s***m quality, placental health and fetal development.

Once these foundations are in place, supplements can be helpful — but they should be individualised.

Seek guidance from a qualified practitioner to determine what your body actually needs.

Healthy pregnancies start with strong foundations.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Preconception care should also include the partner.
S***m quality is strongly influenced by these foundations.

Miscarriage can be extremely hard, but you are not alone.

Healing your body and mind before trying again can make a big difference.

Through gentle naturopathic support, I can help you:
💛 Check hormones, thyroid, and nutrient levels with simple blood & saliva tests.
💛 Replenish key nutrients.
💛 Reduce stress and support emotional healing.
💛 Create a personalised plan for your next pregnancy.

2026 is the year of fertility health! ✨

(this is not a personal pregnancy announcement 🙃)

TTC has been a big theme in clinic lately! This year is going to be a big and exciting one 🤍

I’ve been updating my knowledge about preconception nutrition and advanced hormone investigations — because preparing the body before conception matters more than most people realise.

✨ Did you know?
You should start preparing your body at least 3 months before TTC — but 6–12 months is even more optimal for hormone balance, nutrient stores, and egg & s***m quality.

If starting or growing your family is part of your future plans, you can begin supporting your fertility today.

I’m here to create a personalised preconception plan with you — just reach out.

Anyone who is local to Port Fairy will be able to have face-to-face fertility consults within the next couple of months 🤗

Did you know?

Herbal analgesics such as White Willow Bark, Devil’s Claw, Boswellia, Curcumin, & Ginger have documented anti-inflammatory and pain-modulating properties and are commonly used in naturopathic practice.

Did you also know?
Salix alba (white willow bark) inspired aspirin.

A reminder that modern analgesics have their roots in herbal medicine 🌿

Fast pain relief like NSAIDs can be helpful (I use them too), but frequent or long-term use may significantly affect gut health, nutrient absorption, and kidney or liver function.

Naturopathic care supports safer pain relief and addresses the root causes—inflammation, hormones, gut health, and stress—so relief doesn’t come at the cost of your long-term health.

DID YOU KNOW?
Because I didn’t until recently…

Around 70% of a man’s testosterone is produced during deep, restorative sleep, with levels peaking early in the morning 🌅. Skimp on quality sleep, and your testosterone levels take a hit.

🍺 Beer unfortunately isn’t helping low testosterone levels either. Hops are loaded with phytoestrogens, plant compounds that mimic estrogen and can throw your hormones off balance.

There are many naturopathic treatment options for low testosterone, depending on the cause.

🌿 Pregnancy vs. Breastfeeding Nutrition.

We all know nutrient needs go up during pregnancy — but did you know they can increase even more during breastfeeding?

Postpartum, your body is working hard — and if those rising needs aren’t met, it’s easy to become depleted. This can impact energy, mood, recovery, and milk supply.

Nutrients like choline, DHA, zinc, and fluids are especially important during this time. Other nutrients such as vitamin A, iodine and vitamin C should also increase.

✨ These are general guidelines. Your individual needs will vary depending on your health, lifestyle, or level of exercise.

A personalised approach to nutrition needs to be adopted.

💚 Always work with a qualified practitioner to create a plan that supports you.

Focus on diet first, then supplement if necessary.

Note: pregnancy nutritional needs vary depending on the trimester.

On the weekend we ran the Melbourne Marathon! 🏃‍♀️

Massive congrats to everyone who got out there – it’s such a huge mental and physical challenge. Seeing people powering through 5, 6, even 7 hours on course… seriously inspiring 🙌

This was my second marathon (the first one was pre-naturopathy days) – what a difference it makes applying everything I’ve learned since studying and practicing in this space. I actually enjoyed the run this time around.

Running with friends + having RunDaye Coach in our corner was a game changer too.

Next mission is to sort out this chafe situation 🤗

😩Parenthood in the baby + toddler years is intense.

🥸So many mums I’ve spoken to recently are carrying stress, fatigue, brain fog and anxiety—and feeling like they have to smile through it. 😵‍💫

💪🏽There are supportive, evidence-based naturopathic tools to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more you again.

🧑🏻‍⚕️Some supplements and herbs can affect breastmilk, or interact with medications like antidepressants or thyroid meds.

👩🏽‍⚕️That’s why I tailor support specifically to you—taking into
account whether you’re breastfeeding, on meds, or managing other health conditions.

🧡Safe, gentle, and effective support is possible. 🙂

Short answer = no.

Whole foods are your best source of nutrients.

However, certain situations such as pregnancy, vegan diets, disease, or older age can justify targeted supplementation.

Please note: supplements aren’t risk-free.
There has been a lot in the media lately regarding adverse effects of supplements.

Check-in with a qualified naturopath or nutritionist before taking any nutritional supplement.
