Feel Like Yourself Again After Birth – But Stronger
Guiding you with therapeutic nutrition, belly binding, and traditional postpartum care to restore your strength and confidence after birth.
Hi, I’m Livia
Postpartum Nutritionist and Traditional Postpartum Carer.
I’m a postpartum nutritionist and traditional care practitioner, and I help new mums rebuild their energy, confidence, and core strength after birth so they can feel like themselves again – but even stronger.
I created The Strong After Birth Method™ to bring back the powerful traditional practices that modern motherhood has lost – like belly binding, therapeutic nourishment, and sacred rest rituals – to support your body’s deep physical healing after birth.
And because so many of the mothers I work with feel relentlessly tired, foggy, and anxious about how they’ll cope with returning to work or handling family life, I also developed my Postpartum Energy Reclaim Method™. This approach combines targeted nutrition, mineral replenishment, and nervous system support to restore your energy, mental clarity, and emotional steadiness so you can thrive in this new chapter.

Hipprocrates stated ‘Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food’.
Nutritional Therapy is the process of utilising ‘food as medicine’. It takes a therapeutic approach to harness the power of nutrition to address imbalances and disharmony in the body to allow it to naturally heal. A nutritional therapy plan is tailored to your individual needs and unique circumstances.

Naturopathic nutritional therapy view the body as a whole, interconnected system. When one part of the body is not functioning properly, it can have an impact on the whole system.
Using a food-first approach, I treat you as a unique whole individual being, taking into consideration your health (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), body systems and lifestyle. A dis-ease manifests when either of the four states of health are out of balance.
By addressing the root cause of your symptoms we set in motion a naturopathic nutrition plan including diet and lifestyle recommendations in your healing journey to support your body's innate ability to heal and maintain your optimum health and wellbeing.
My nutrition plan will take into consideration your unique circumstances, your food preferences, diet requirements, your time and budget constraints. This will be used to reach your health goals and depending on your needs I will recommend lifestyle changes to help you make active positive changes. Given the right environment your body will move towards healing and harmony.
My approach combines the use of nutritional therapy and functional medicine testing to get to the root cause of your symptoms.
-
We start with a free 20 minute session to understand your health situation, symptoms of concern ans health goals to determine we are a right fit for working together.
Should we progress to an initial consultation, this involves a comprehensive case taking of your family and medical history, body system symptoms, diet and lifestyle. I will then share initial thoughts with you and you can ask any questions. A written plan will be sent to you within 3-5 business days.
Follow-up consults will be scheduled 2-4 weeks after our initial. We will address your progress, successes and challenges and review any testing results together. Adjustments to your plan will then be made as needed.
Consultations are held online via Zoom to clients in the UK and abroad. In-person consultations can be offered in central London. -
The outcome of us working together involves developing new habits, new mindsets and new lifestyle choices.
You’ll have a better understanding of;
your body systems and how they are interconnected
the cause and triggers for your health symptoms
the types of foods that will improve your health symptoms as well as those you may want to avoid
lifestyle choices to help improve your symptoms and overall wellbeing
-
Most likely you have been suffering with long-term debilitating and disruptive health symptoms. My purpose is to guide you from a place of feeling lost, dismissed and unheard by your GP and others around you to the place you envision as your optimal health and wellbeing.

Root cause approach
Eliminating foods permanently because they trigger symptoms only addresses the symptoms and not the underlying cause. Nutritional therapy addresses the underlying mechanisms and drivers of your symptoms and health condition instead of only suppressing or masking your ongoing painful symptoms.
A tailored approach
To improve your on-going health symptom or condition, you may have tried following other’s advice and recommendations on nutrition because it worked for them. However, there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach when it comes your health, because each person is different. A diet or supplement that worked for someone, may not be suitable or safe for you.
Working with a Nutritional Therapist like myself avoids the headache of figuring out what’s suitable and safe for you. You’ll recieve a plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle. I take into consideration your circumstances, diet requirements, preferences, budget and time constraints.
A sense of clarity
Most probably you have spent time researching about nutrition advice to improve your ongoing symptoms or health condition. But with so much contrasting and conflicting information available its hard to decipher how or where to begin.
Working with me as your expertise Nutritional Therapist in digestive/gut health and female hormones who knows the terrain, I have the tools you need to guide you to achieve your health goals.
Empowerment and support
My role is to empower you to take control and advocate for your health and wellbeing. I do this by educating you on what you need to know about your health symptoms or condition. With the right knowledge, guidance and support, we all have the innate ability to be facilitate our own healing. You get dedicated time through our 1 to 1 consultations to discuss your symptoms, progress and challenges and be heard and acknowledged.
Accountability
Some people find it difficult to set goals and reach them without a problem. I get it, when dealing with painful chronic health conditions and symptoms, it can be a huge challenge to stay on track. Working with me will provide accountability to help you take action to progress along your healing journey.
