Join MEA for a practical, judgement-free session exploring affordable, culturally familiar ways to eat well during pregnancy and motherhood.

Eating Well Doesn't Have to Mean Eating Perfectly

What does nourishing yourself realistically look like during pregnancy and the early months of motherhood?

Between nausea, tiredness, caring for a new baby, managing a busy household and keeping an eye on the food budget, eating well can sometimes feel like another thing on an already long to-do list.

Join MEA for Nourish Me: Eating Well from Bump to Baby — a practical, relaxed and judgement-free session exploring realistic ways to nourish yourself during pregnancy and after having your baby.

The session will focus on affordable, accessible and culturally familiar food choices that can work for you and your family.
