Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Allison Martineau.
A nutritionist and mom to three boys four and under. I get what it’s like to feel run-down, not yourself, or generally less-than-healthy following the birth of a baby. But I also know that getting out of a postpartum rut isn’t as hard as it may feel – when you know what steps to take.
I believe nutrition doesn't need to be complicated, and am so passionate about sharing my simple nutritional and lifestyle strategies with new mothers and their families.

"I met Allison when my daughter was around 10 months old. I had already introduced solids but I wasn’t confident that I was preparing meals to meet all of her nutritional needs. Allison answered all of my questions and provided many helpful suggestions for healthy, nutritious and delicious meals that my husband, baby and I could enjoy as a family. I really appreciated her non judgemental approach as well as her personal anecdotal experience as a mother. She made me feel much more comfortable at meal and snack time and I now have a very happy toddler with healthy eating habits!"

"As a second time mom I thought all my fears and anxieties about feeding my baby would be non existent. I was shocked when they came flooding back to me. I felt like I was failing. I remembered meeting Allison at one of the mom groups I was part of a few months back and decided to contact her. Allison was not only helpful in giving me information, she was also kind, patient and understanding. She gave me the exact kind of support I needed. With Allison’s help I was able to start feeding my baby with little to no anxiety. I am so incredibly grateful for her help and her ONGOING support.
