My pregnancy story... maybe you can relate

Hi, I'm Ilana - pregnancy nutrition expert, childbirth educator, and mom of two. I've helped dozens of women achieve a healthier, more empowered pregnancy and postpartum.

10 years ago, during my first pregnancy, I remember being totally lost and confused about what to eat. “Dr. Google” told me to avoid foods like raw fish, soft cheeses, deli meats and runny eggs.

 

But often I would find myself craving those exact foods. 

 

Or, the first trimester nausea would hit, mixed with pangs of hunger, and I never knew what would settle my stomach or feel truly satiating. Nothing seemed appealing.

 

And then the cherry on the top - a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes. My food choices seemed so limited, and I was constantly counting carbs while worrying that the foods I ate could possibly harm my baby.

 

Neither my doctor nor my dietitian were giving me helpful guidance around food. It was super frustrating, and I knew there must be a better way.

Instead of focusing on the “don’ts”, let’s focus on the “dos”

When the focus is so heavily on what not to eat, it can evoke fear and anxiety around food, and may even cause you to steer clear of specific food groups or nutrients that are actually beneficial.

Not to mention - it tells you nothing about the foods that you should be eating in order to grow a healthy baby while nourishing your own body to keep you feeling your best.

 

Are you ready to enjoy a more empowered and positive approach to your pregnancy? Let’s do this!

Hadassah

“During my pregnancy, I felt hungry all the time, but also nauseous, and was completely confused about which foods to eat. Ilana gave me clarity and confidence in my nutrition. She helped me understand what the healthiest choices were, what would serve my body best, and keep me satiated! She gave me easy and practical meal ideas, especially for days when I was constantly on-the-go."

Brooke

“Ilana made me feel confident and supported, taking the time to understand my health history and food sensitivities. She taught me how to prioritize protein, balance carbs, and fuel my body properly. The personalized meal plan she created helped me prepare for pregnancy with easy, nourishing meals. Now, at 8 weeks pregnant (with my second baby), I’m barely experiencing any of the nausea and misery I had the first time. What once felt terrifying now feels easier than I ever imagined—thanks to Ilana."

Jess

​"The program was really tailored to my personal needs. Ilana didn’t expect me to completely change my eating habits, but offered creative solutions for filling any nutrition gaps especially when there were specific foods that I wasn't eating. I continued following her guidelines postpartum and I really think it helped me have a smooth recovery after birth as well.”

✔ You want clear, easy meal plans, grocery lists, and meal prep tips to make eating well effortless

✖ You want a quick-fix solution rather than learning how to make sustainable, healthy choices.

✖ You’re not open to trying new foods, strategies, or making small adjustments to improve your nutrition.

✖ You believe pregnancy nutrition doesn’t really matter and don’t think it impacts your health or your baby’s development.

✖ You think that feeling miserable, tired & constipated is part and parcel of being pregnant, and you’d rather just “suck it up” than find solutions.

✖ You’re looking for medical advice rather than nutrition coaching—Mama Thrive is here to support you, but it’s not a substitute for your doctor or midwife.

✖ You don’t feel ready to invest time and effort into improving your pregnancy nutrition and overall well-being.

A bit about me...

In case we haven’t met before, I’m Ilana — a perinatal nutrition coach and certified childbirth educator. I help women feel more confident and less overwhelmed during pregnancy and postpartum, with a practical, personalized approach to nourishment.
 

My own path to motherhood wasn’t easy: I faced fertility challenges, and then navigated gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy. That experience changed everything — and inspired me to study perinatal nutrition so I could help other women feel more empowered and cared for in this season. I’ve been coaching clients for over five years, and I’ve seen how small changes in nutrition can make a big impact.

I’m here to make your journey to motherhood feel easier, clearer, and more supported.
