what people are saying
about nurture the seed.

  • “I booked a one-on-one consult with Renee during my pregnancy to discuss optimising my iron stores given my history of deficiency and increased demands in pregnancy. I loved working with Renee- I felt her passion for working with women straight away! I loved her thorough, evidence-based and women-centred approach during my consultation and I left feeling informed and empowered about simple dietary changes and the plan we had made together moving forward. I was able to significantly optimise my iron levels during my pregnancy and postpartum from the education and information Renee provided me with. I wouldn’t hesitate to see Renee again for further support and now regularly refer my own clients to her for ongoing care during their preconception preparation and pregnancy”.

    Kate, Midwife and Chinese Medical Practitioner

  • "I find it really overwhelming to navigate all the “advice” and “guidelines” out there for food and pregnancy. Following Nurture the Seed has increased my awareness, knowledge & recipe collection that I can use now in preparation for being pregnant when the time is right for me. I love the mix of science/research (that is translated in such an engaging way), and Renee & Georgia’s clear love for sharing & enjoying food, and keeping it real."

    Camilla, Psychologist

  • "I am forever recommending Nurture the Seed at the Calmbirth Weekend Workshops I hold because I love how generous Renee and Georgia are in sharing evidence-based knowledge and recipes for prenatal/postpartum Mamas. Their instagram page is equal parts heart and wisdom! I am always learning something new and amazing as a Midwife, Mama and Educator so it really is a nurturing and nourishing space for everyone!"
