    From Anxiety to Empowerment: Nourishing New Parents for Mental Health

    Jackie specializes in guiding you through balancing your relationship with food, optimizing hormone control, improving gut health, decreasing inflammation in the body and sustaining these changes with neuroscience backed behavior change techniques. I'm excited to talk about the mental load and overwhelming joys of being a mother. The frustrating way that the diet and supplement industry pushes quick fixes and fads. And how to TRUST your body.

    About Jackie:

    Jackie is a Master's trained Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist but most importantly a mother of 4 amazing children. She has been helping women find balance amongst burnout for the past 15 years but recently branched out with her own business endeavor, Nutritiously Ever After and Evergreen Love supplements to focus more on mental health and the holistic interventions that can encourage adequate management of our moods. After growing up with a mother with mental health struggles and dealing with her own anxiety she wanted to use her knowledge about food, supplements and metabolism to positively impact mothers and normalize the stressful and overwhelming situations surrounding motherhood. Her goal is to spread hope and show Moms that we are the most resilient of all if we keep even a little focus on ourselves.
