FUNCTIONAL & INTEGRATIVE MATERNAL HEALTH
Expert guidance paired with personalized, proactive maternal health support for women preparing for pregnancy, navigating pregnancy-complication risk, or healing and rebuilding postpartum.
Instead of simply waiting to see if a complication develops, we look deeper. We look at your health history, previous pregnancies, labs and trends, nutrition, medications, genetics, symptoms, and individual risk factors to identify opportunities for earlier, more personalized support. Together, we create a comprehensive, precision-focused plan to help you understand your risk, address what can be modified, recognize what deserves closer attention, and feel confident navigating your care.
Because what happens BEFORE and AFTER pregnancy matters just as much as the nine months in between.
You deserve care that listens to you, looks deeper, and sees the whole you.

MEET SOFIA-MARIE
I’m a maternal health consultant and advocate specializing in precision and functional medicine. My experience as a pharmacist, certified functional medicine practitioner, and certified perinatal and postpartum nutrition specialist allows me to offer a comprehensive, integrative and personalized approach to maternal care that most of us do not experience. My experience as a patient and mother of two who suffered from gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, postpartum anxiety, and PTSD allows me to understand what my clients need and are feeling. Both personally and professionally, it has become my passion to help women navigate preconception health, gestational complications, postpartum recovery, and self-advocacy so they can feel empowered and confident through all phases of motherhood. My own journey through gestational complications and a challenging postpartum recovery showed me how urgently women need informed, compassionate, and comprehensive support. That realization transformed supporting mothers as a professional goal and personal calling. My services support women from preconception, through pregnancy, postpartum and into motherhood. I’ll partner with you to create meaningful, practical solutions that protect mind and body and help you reach and sustain your health goals.

MY STORY
This work comes from lived experience
Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia with both of my pregnancies. My second pregnancy ended with a traumatic birth from preeclampsia which left me with severe health anxiety, PTSD, and unresolved blood pressure at six weeks postpartum and a system with no real plan for me besides medication. Shuffled from provider to provider, with no one listening to my goals and concerns. I wanted a different experience, and now I'm building that for YOU.
.
My experience led me to learn the importance of PRECONCEPTION health and how it directly shapes pregnancy experiences, outcomes and the postpartum healing period. Most women are NEVER told this. It also illuminated the gaps in care for PREGNANT and POSTPARTUM women, especially those who experience gestational complications. We DESERVE more.
“I built what I wished I had - education, coaching, and community that meets women before, during, and after pregnancy.”
Choose your path forward
“You are not one-size-fits-all, and your care should not be either.”
Gestational complications like preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and postpartum complications like postpartum preeclampsia, iron deficiency anemia, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, PTSD, thyroiditis, and others are all more than just a statistic, they are women who are suffering and need real support. The basic preconception and pregnancy advice and a six week quick postpartum visit, questionnaire, and possible prescription should not be the standard of care. As someone who has worked in healthcare for over 10 years and experienced these gaps in care first hand, I know something needs to change. We deserve comprehensive care that is personal and not one size fits all.
Preconception Support
Thinking about starting or growing your family? Preparing for pregnancy when you are at risk of or have experienced a complication in a previous one can stir up feelings that are hard to even put words to. I understand that in a very personal way. I remember exactly what it feels like to want so badly to trust your body and the hope, fear, and difficulty that can come with conceiving.
This season is not only about supporting fertility and getting a positive pregnancy test, but also about making sure your body has what it needs to properly nourish and support you and your baby.
I applaud you for thinking about preconception health and preparing yourself in the best way possible to support a healthy you, pregnancy, and baby. Being proactive in your care and risk reduction is something to be really proud of. I am here to guide you.
Pregnancy Support
Congratulations! My heart feels so full for you! If joy and worry are tangled up together right now, please know that is so normal. Pregnancy after a complication in a previous one or being told you are “high-risk” can stir up feelings that are hard to even put into words. I understand this in a very personal way as a two-time preeclampsia survivor.
This season is not only about getting you safely to your due date, but also about making sure your body has what it needs to nourish your baby without leaving you depleted in the process. You deserve care and attention here too, not just as baby's mother, but as a woman whose own health and heart matter just as much.
I applaud you for prioritizing your health as well as baby’s health. My comprehensive approach helps us address concerns and lower the risk factors we can control, instead of waiting for a complication to occur and reacting. Being proactive in your care and risk reduction is something to be really proud of. I am here to guide you.
Postpartum Support
Congratulations on your newest addition! Welcome to the world, baby, and hello, Mama!
After a gestational complication, our body may not feel like our own, or it may feel like it failed us. I understand that in a very personal way as a two-time preeclampsia survivor. I remember exactly what it felt like to want so badly to trust my body again, and the hope and fear that can come with caring for a new baby while being concerned about my own health.
I applaud you for prioritizing your health and well-being during this postpartum period and preparing yourself in the best way possible to support a healthy future, so you can radiate through motherhood instead of merely survive it. Being proactive and prioritizing your care and health is something to be really proud of. I am here to support and guide you.

Functional Medicine in Maternal Care
Functional medicine asks a different question: not just what is happening? but why?
By looking at the body as an interconnected system, functional medicine brings together your history, labs and trends, nutrition, medications, genetics, microbiome, metabolic health, inflammation, lifestyle, and stress to create a more complete picture of you.
I apply this lens specifically to maternal health helping women prepare for pregnancy, better understand and manage pregnancy-complication risk, and rebuild their health postpartum through personalized, proactive support.
It's not conventional medicine or functional medicine. It's both working together to help us look deeper.
