Glow Naturopathic Pregnancy Program was created by Deanne of Elixir & Life, and is an innovative naturopathic and nutritional support program designed to make sure you (and your partner) are in the best health possible leading up to conception. It supports you and your unborn baby through each stage of your pregnancy, and takes care of you and your new born post-delivery.

The program aims to make sure you stay in the best health and can assist with complications naturally, wherever possible. While also providing your child with best start in life, laying the foundations for their future health.
How did Deanne recognise a need for this pregnancy support program?
After completing specialised training in fertility and pregnancy, and through her experience working with women postpartum, and their babies, Deanne recognised that by the time most women get through their pregnancy they are completely deficient in a wide range of vitamins and minerals which are essential to good health especially when mothering and nursing.
Deanne designed the Naturopathic Pregnancy Program to ensure women and their partners are provided with comprehensive advice on health and nutritional needs prior to conception, during pregnancy, and after the birth of their baby with support and advice provided around labour, birthing and breastfeeding.
“I was inspired to create a naturopathic pregnancy program after seeing a large number of new mothers in my clinic, post-birth, who would sit down and just start crying. Add the stress of reduced sleep and giving themselves 24/7 to their newborn baby and it became obvious to me that every pregnant woman and new mother needs to have a specialised pregnancy care Naturopath as part of her care team.”
How the program works?
There are four stages to the Glow Naturopathic Pregnancy Program. The program starts 3 to 4 months before conceiving (Preconception Care), with specific naturopathic and nutritional support provided during each trimester, continuing to the 6th month of your newborn’s life. The program is designed to complement the services provided by your other healthcare providers at this stage in your life.
Preconception is the time to detoxify mum and dad and then spend time getting both egg and sperm to the healthiest state possible prior to conceiving. This is increasing the quality of DNA that will manifest your child’s health. Each stage of pregnancy presents different demands on a woman and her unborn child with each trimester. Certain nutrients are needed right throughout pregnancy, we might think of these as the basics, however different stages of pregnancy require different nutrients to be introduced.
Glow also gives you the option to manage pregnancy side effects and complications naturally wherever possible as a first approach. By making sure your nutritional status is adequate throughout each trimester many of the pre and post-pregnancy related health issues are minimised.
What to expect from the program?
A Nutritional Blood Test may be performed to assess your nutritional requirements, which are not included in standard main stream testing.
Naturopathic medicine that is natural, safe and effective in pregnancy is recommended to assist with pregnancy health problems, wherever possible.
Although the pregnancy program is an ideal option from start to finish women and their partners are welcome to see Deanne for assistance at any time throughout pre-conception, pregnancy and post-birth.
Deanne’s recommendations come from traditional naturopathic medicine and nutritional training in conjunction with the latest scientific research. All advice provided is natural, safe and effective.
