What Have Previous Participants Said About the Nourished Mama?

“The Nourished Mama is life changing! I would highly recommend this program to any Mom who struggles with their body image and food. There is so much to learn and discover through modules and coaching calls. Plus you have the benefit of connecting with other Moms who are going through a similar experience. You got this Mama! ♥️“

“Going into this program I had tried every diet and failed. I was an emotional eater as well as just not happy with my body. My relationship with food has completely changed since taking this course. I'm still learning to appreciate and respect my body but I definitely feel like I'm not feeling the guilt of eating certain foods anymore. This course is perfect for those that are curious about intuitive eating and want to stop being in diet culture and start listening to their bodies!”

"Nourished Mama has taught me so much! Jenn & Dr. Mel have created a great program that brings moms together in a supportive and nurturing environment. I learned so much in the 13 week program but also met and shared so many laughs with the amazing women in the group. It truly is a safe and judgment free environment to share your experiences, fears, frustrations and wins!"
