Welcome to The Ultimate Baby Podcast! My motherhood journey has just begun after going through a natural pregnancy and home birth. I have learned (and will continue to learn) so much along the way and I'm excited to share this information with you in a brand new podcast! My approach is natural and holistic. I will be covering a variety of topics from optimizing fertility, diet and supplements during pregnancy, alternative interventions, the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding, building a birth team and so much more.
