WOMEN'S HEALTH 

When hormones are balanced, periods come and go with ease and are not something to dread each month. Though symptoms of PMS and menstrual discomfort are common, they are not normal - mood swings, bloating, cravings, breast changes, heavy periods, period pain, absent or irregular periods all indicate hormonal imbalance - and they can be alleviated.

There are natural solutions for issues like PCOS, endometriosis, menopause symptoms, fibroids and cysts.

Claudia will help you restore hormonal balance so you can breeze through each month with ease.

Health during Pregnancy

Your baby is rapidly developing and relies on a large amount of nutrition to complete this growth and development. Nutritional requirements change frequently during pregnancy. Claudia will help to ensure you are at optimal nutrition at each changing stage throughout your pregnancy in order for:

• The health of your growing baby and their developing organs and tissues


• Your health during pregnancy 


• Ensuring you stay well and are best prepared for the birthing process and beyond

• Morning sickness 


• Heartburn & indigestion
