Giving your baby the best possible start in life
If you are thinking of starting this wonderful chapter of your life, or planning for another pregnancy it is worth reading this:
It is never too early to start preparing for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. Preconception care refers to optimising your health and addressing health issues before you become pregnant in order to keep you, your partner and your baby as healthy as possible. Preconception care is the ultimate form of preventative medicine. Research is emerging that what happens in the first nine months may influence your child’s health for the rest of its life. Foetal exposure to stress, toxins, under nutrition and obesity has been shown to play a role in the development of many common chronic diseases. Being prepared and ensuring you and your partner are in the best of health possible, can positively influence your child’s health and quality of life for years to come.
Have you experienced…
- Exposure to toxins/chemicals – environmental, hazardous occupations
- Unhealthy dietary and lifestyle choices
- Poor digestive health issues
- Stress, anxiety or depression
- Physical inactivity

If you are both ready to prepare for a safe healthy pregnancy and beyond, Larae will help you both by completing some Comprehensive Health questionnaires, performing in-house testing, and request specific external pathology tests to determine your treatment plan. Larae usually recommends approximately 4- 6 months of preparation work to regain balance and good health from within before conception. During this period Larae will work with you addressing the following:
- Healthy well-balanced dietary and lifestyle advice
- Safe and effective detoxification programme for you both to follow
- Natural nutritional and herbal supplements to support preconception, pregnancy and beyond
- Provide recommendations for avoiding stress
