Hi! I’m Bianka.
It was my journey through pregnancy into mamahood that inspired the creation of 40 Weeks and our empowering and supportive online program.
I’m the proud mama of a beautiful little girl. However, it took a heartbreaking pregnancy loss and extensive learning for me to get the healthy pregnancy and healthy baby I yearned for.
After losing our baby “Bob” at 9 weeks, I studied all things pregnancy and pregnancy nutrition. We then implemented what I’d learned, took the time to prepare for pregnancy and tried again.
We fell pregnant easily and went on to have a complication-free pregnancy, labour and birth, and breastfeeding journey. Our daughter had a healthy start in life and continues to thrive.
Fast forward to today, and I support women around the world to also get the healthy pregnancy and healthy baby of their dreams.
Following the loss of my first pregnancy I discovered a link between good nutrition and getting and staying pregnant. This started me on my quest to answer the question
what do I eat while pregnant?
I found key nutrients are needed at the various stages of pregnancy in order for mum and baby to thrive. If there’s a deficiency in any of these key nutrients, pregnancy complications are more likely and baby’s growth and development may be negatively affected.
After years of ongoing research and collaboration with experts in their field, I created The 40 Weeks Program.
Together with qualified and experienced nutritionists, fertility specialists, naturopaths, GPs, obstetricians, acupuncturists and Chinese medicine doctors, midwives, doulas, chefs and health coaches I took the latest evidence-based research on nutrition during pregnancy and built an online program designed to support a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.
Since launching this program, I’ve supported women from around the world on their pregnancy journey. I’ve helped them to know what, when and how to eat to meet the demands of pregnancy on their own body and to nourish their growing little ones.
40 Weeks exists to support your healthy pregnancy journey. And to help you realise your baby dream.
To support you every single week of your pregnancy so you can feel confident about your choices, prepared for the transition to new motherhood, and never alone as you savour every step of the journey to becoming mother.
It’d be a privilege to support you during this life changing period. I invite you to take a closer look at The 40 Weeks Program by clicking here.

With warmth and much love,
