Nourishing the Mother: Practical Nutrition & Lifestyle Strategies for Pregnancy, Postpartum & the Holidays.
This session will explore how nutrition and everyday lifestyle habits support maternal well-being during pregnancy and postpartum, with a focus on blood sugar balance, hormonal changes, gut health, sleep, and nervous system regulation. Attendees will gain practical, realistic strategies they can share with the mothers they support, especially during the busy holiday season.
Presented by Diana Galindo, FNTP, RWS-1
A multidisciplinary network of professionals committed to improving maternal mental health through collaboration, education, and referral partnerships.
We started it because the work was happening in silos. An OB, a therapist, a doula and a pediatric nurse can all be holding pieces of the same mother's care and never speak to each other. Once a month we put them in the same room.
What you get out of it
- Build referral relationships. You leave knowing who to call, and they know to call you
- Learn from experts. Clinical and systems-level topics from people doing the work
- Grow your professional network across disciplines, not just inside your own
- Improve outcomes for mothers by closing the gaps nobody owns
- Collaborate beyond referrals. Co-treatment, consultation, shared cases
What happens at a gathering
The format changes month to month, on purpose.
Some gatherings are a 45-minute presentation on a clinical or systems-level topic. Others are structured networking built to get you talking to people outside your discipline.
Locations change too. Practices and organizations across Houston take turns hosting, which is part of how you get to see the rest of the system up close. When we do not have a host site, we meet online instead.
Either way you leave at 11:00 with names and numbers you did not have at 9:30.
Who belongs here
Therapists, counselors and social workers. Psychiatrists and prescribers. OB-GYNs, midwives, and labor and delivery nurses. Doulas and lactation consultants. Pediatric providers. Chiropractors and dietitians. Survivor advocates and advocacy organizations. Hospital staff. Community organizations serving mothers and families.
If you work with people who are pregnant, postpartum, or trying to become parents, you belong here.
