So glad you found your way here.
Whether you’re stepping into the pregnancy (for the first or fourth time) and seeking gentle, nourishing support, you’ve come to the right place. I believe every stage of your journey deserves to be nourished. With a focus on plant-based nutrition, modern & traditional practices, and womb wisdom I hold space for an informed and empowered pregnancy, labor and postpartum.
"Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life." - I.M.G
Hi! I'm Iva.
For over a decade, I’ve been on a heart expanding journey, immersing myself in the wisdom and art of nourishing the body—especially during the sacred season of pregnancy & postpartum.
I’m committed to continuous learning, always expanding my knowledge and refining my craft to offer support that honors the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. The heart of my work is rooted in the belief that true healing is holistic, inclusive, and deeply connected to our roots and that birth can embody all of this. In fact, I believe it can CHANGE THE WORLD if every birthing person could experience birth this way and if every postpartum person could have access to WHOLE person recovery and nourishment.
If this kind of birth sounds like an experience you would like to have, let’s be in touch.
