my motherhood journey
When my Passion was born
Hi I am Juliana, I am 39 years old, mother of 2 handsome boys and the third one on its way to this world (due in Feb/2021).
My passion for holistic nutrition started when I became a mother ten years ago. Through experience, I observed how much our diet during pregnancy, breastfeeding support and later on a healthy introduction of solids, could contribute to physical, mental and emotional development. Two years later when my second son was born, unfortunately he had a sensitive stomach with many food sensitivities and intolerances to gluten, eggs and milk. This whole new world drove me on a path of integrated research with holistic medicine to enhance and help my son to become as healthy and comfortable as possible.
When it became my job
During my own motherhood process and growth I discovered the importance of managing and adapting each child's uniqueness to their dietary needs and I started helping families finding their healthy path and overcome obstacles through holistic and functional food in Brazil.
In 2015 my journey was transformed in a book "Fearless Feeding" about nutrition and its challenges in early childhood.
Moving to Winnipeg, I became a Certified Health Coach & Holistic Nutritionist, Postpartum Doula and advocate of woman's & children's health.
Nowadays, besides my 101 consultation I am a regular speaker at CTV Morning Live, where I provide my Nutrition Insights in 2 segments "Living Well" & "Tots to Teens" .
Conceiving Naturally at 39
I always dreamed with a big family but my plans needed to be delayed a little bit after moving to Canada 4 years ago, giving my family the right time to adapt and find our safe place.
After 3 years of waiting, my husband and I knew that was time to make our family grow and multiply our big hugs, big love and big hearts.
From my own professional experience I knew that at 39 my body would work different and I could face some challenges. Fortunately, my knowledge was by my side enabling me to find the right support from food, supplements and alternative therapies than successfully resulted in a natural pregnancy at 39 years old.
