Meet Veronique: Fertility Nutrition Support

I am a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Live Blood Cell Analysis Practitioner & Fertility Nutrition Coach practicing out of Durham and Oakville, Ontario. I live in Durham with my husband, son and 3 crested geckos.

I have always worked in customer service, working with people at the front of the line. Now I work for myself and get to do what I love! I get to help empower women by helping them learn about their innate power and beauty while helping women with their fertility nutrition needs. I get to help women feel freaking amazing while helping them achieve their fertility and pregnancy goals.

How my fertility journey started…

 NOT WELL!

Before getting into the field of holistic nutrition and support women with fertility and pregnancy, I had my fair share of issues.

I dealt with severe menstrual cramps, PMS, clotting, full body pains. My menstrual issues were so bad that you’d often find me lying on the floor looking for relief. I couldn’t think or move.

Digestive issues were a mess: if I wasn’t constipation, I couldn’t hold in most of the food I ate. I had a lot of cramping and pains to accompany my dancing bowels.

When I got sick, I got REAL sick. On top of regular illnesses, I experienced multiple bouts of strep, I had mono, unidentified throat infections and more…

My stress was high and my anxiety was high, too. Because of that, I slept poorly and didn’t treat myself fairly.

I ate relatively well (or so I thought), but my body wasn’t having it.

Needless to say, I wasn’t thriving.

What I realized about my health

I HAD CONTROL OF HOW I FELT, including during that time of month!

I knew when I was going to develop strep – to the point that I’d go to the walk-in the day before symptoms got worse asking for medications (which they refused to do). The next day, I would have full blown strep.

I generally knew when my menstrual cycle was coming, and I knew when it was going to be bad.

I knew when my stomach would bug-out, even after things were getting better (thanks stress).

I knew. But I also didn’t REALLY know how much control I had this whole time.

I eventually started to realize that there was this whole other world of self healing practices that can help us heal. I started to learn about natural remedies and the power food has to help us heal.

I started to realize more and more that I had control over how I felt!

What I thought was normal, I quickly learnt was in fact not.. It was common.

I had questions that needed answering – so I decided to go to school and learn about nutrition and other healing practices to help support natural healing.

When I realized fertility nutrition was what I needed to share with the world

It wasn’t until after I had my first born

So we’ve established the fact that I had terrible menstrual issues…

I thought I would have a terrible time trying to conceive.

I thought I would struggle, it would take years and that I would be lucky if I got pregnant because my hormones were definitely a mess. So what did I do? I stepped out of my fear and I did what I was taught in life and in school.

I took back control of my life, I put in the work to support my fertility.

I had been off birth control for some years now, but still dealt with hormonal imbalances so I made sure to do what I could to detox my body and focus on eating real, whole foods to maximize my body’s nutritional stores. I took the supplements I needed to support myself and did what I could to find balance in my stress management.

I also had my husband come on board and put in the work as well. Afterall, it takes two to tango 😉

The result to preparing my body ahead of time?

I conceived on my first attempt, had a comfortable and easy pregnancy, had a beautiful home birth and a relatively easy transition into post partum.

The dream.

I lived and experienced a blissful pregnancy, birth and post partum and I want that for every woman I work with.

I want you to thrive

Seriously, I want you to thrive, mama. 

After birthing my son, I realized how powerful we are as women, how capable we are at bringing life into this world.

I realized that I wanted to help be a guiding light to future mothers, to help them feel amazing through their pregnancy and in their post partum experiences.

I want women to honor themselves and their future generations.

I want to help women unlearn the programming that’s been instilled into our subconscious since we were young.

I want women to feel their power.

That power starts when you take back your fertility, take back your birth and take back your ability to grow, carry and bring forth life on your terms. 

Supporting you through your fertility, nutrition & lifestyle goals is my passion
