Supporting Vegan Families; Pregnancy to Preschool
Give your baby the best possible start in life
There’s no such thing as a perfect pregnancy. I know, I’ve been there twice.
Whether this is your first time or your fourth, there will be surprises, challenges, and bumps along the way!
When I started supporting vegan women during pregnancy, I noticed very little information out there. Most pregnancy advice talks about animal and meat products.
Health professionals are often hesitant to advise on plant-based or vegan pregnancy, which can leave you confused and questioning whether they need to eat animal products for a healthy pregnancy.
You don’t and I’m here to support and empower you.
If you’re currently pregnant, or planning pregnancy, following advice from an expert in vegan pregnancy and plant-based nutrition during this all-important time can help to ensure nutritional balance for you and your baby.
“Would highly recommend! Feel much more knowledgeable and empowered about nutrition and supplementation after meeting Hannah. Hannah is also super open and easy to talk to. We felt really supported during the session and in the post-session emails. Hannah answered all my questions very thoroughly and diligently,”

Speak to an expert in vegan pregnancy nutrition
Supporting you throughout your pregnancy
From my own experience of pregnancy, I understand how overwhelming it can be when you’re bombarded with advice from friends, family, pregnancy books, and the internet. I’ve also experienced the mum-to-be guilt of wondering if I’m eating the right things for myself and my baby.
I understand how people can be quick to question if you are following a plant-based diet in pregnancy or a vegan pregnancy.
The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. It really depends on your lifestyle, body type, and dietary requirements. Through in-depth consultation, I can offer practical and tailored dietary advice to put your mind at ease, and answer any questions you might have, such as:
“How much weight gain is normal during pregnancy?”
“Do I need to take a vegan B12 supplement while pregnant?”
“Can I meet my iodine levels through vegan food?”
“What’s the best plant-based milk?”
“Where can I get a vegan omega-3 supplement?”
“Is pregnancy sickness normal?”
“Are pregnancy tests vegan?” – the general answer is no pregnancy tests aren’t vegan as some ingredients come from animal derivates.
As a registered dietitian and an expert in vegan pregnancy nutrition, I only provide evidence-based advice, backed up by the latest research. You can trust me to support you throughout your pregnancy, and my advice is simple and easy to follow.
Why work with a dietitian during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a huge change for your body to go through, and as I’ve experienced, health professionals can be scared of women following plant based diets or a vegan pregnancy. I have also heard of mums being told that eating meat is the only way to have a healthy pregnancy.
I’m here to dispel that myth and give you expert support at this important time.
Working with an expert in vegan prenatal nutrition can help to ease any anxieties you might have and empower you with the knowledge of how to support the nutritional needs of yourself and your baby.
