“It is without hesitation that I support the work of Bianka and her team at 40 Weeks. To quote the wisdom of Ina May Gaskin “Gardeners know that you must nourish the soil if you want healthy plants…Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants.
As a professional, mother and woman who has experienced four pregnancies and three births, the importance of tending to your wellbeing during the journey from preconception to early motherhood is paramount, for you and your baby. Information can be consuming and disempowering, finding a trusted resource such as 40 Weeks with the authentic desire to support, empower and educate women is a true gift.”
Henrietta Norton BSc DipNT is a universally respected Nutritional Therapist who specialises in fertility and pregnancy.
