Welcome

 

I’m Brianna Towne, MS. Perinatal health expert and mother of 4.

Through my work as a nutrition therapist and corrective exercise specialist I have been able to bridge the gap between a frenzied internet search and medical jargon when it comes to perinatal health. Bringing research-based nutrition and physical therapy alongside my yoga and meditation training, I’ve created a truly holistic system of overall health and wellbeing.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, expecting a baby, or already a mother, I’ve dedicated my work to supporting the health of you and your baby.

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

“Definitely confidence in knowing what a healthy meal is. At the same time, one of the aspects that has been helpful is knowing that one less-than-perfect meal isn't going to throw off my whole system. Also I have been able to maintain the exercise portion consistently too, which is wonderful.”

- Katy S.

“After just one hour coaching session with Bri, I felt like I had tools to help me curb my impulses around my biggest food pitfalls and strategies to more realistically approach my diet without guilt.”

— CAITLIN J.

“I lost 40lbs on Weight Watchers but I was MISERABLE. The counting and stress completely destroyed my relationship with food. After working with Brianna, I hardly think about my food. It’s intuitive and simple and I’ve never felt better!” - CL

“I am so grateful for the session we did and I have learned so so much about intuitive eating, macros, and a balanced plate to name a few. What Bri taught me has been a collaboration of extremely pertinent tools that I use everyday.”

— ANNE B.

about
me

As a mother of four children and two rainbow babies, I’ve been in your shoes. The late night cravings and bathroom breaks, the questioning everything you eat, wondering if you’ll ever get it “right” - whatever that means. And just wishing someone would lay it all out for you straight. Here’s what to eat, exercise and put it all together in a way that lasts. Mama, I got your back.

No two bodies are the same - nor should they be. You were born with a specific genetic blueprint specially made for your unique body. Eye color, foot size, hair texture and, yes, body shape. While we can fluctuate from that genetic predisposition a bit, you simply can’t fool Mother Nature for long. (hint: this is one of the many reasons diets don’t work) So instead of hopping on the eating or exercise trend to “catch up” with the mamas on Instagram and in your play group, practice self-love and positive attitudes toward your body. TRY REPEATING THESE: I am strong. I love my _____. My arms are powerful. My belly has/is/will be home to my children. My legs can carry my all day long.
No two bodies are alike - nor should they be. You were born with a genetic blueprint specific to your unique body. Your eye color, foot size, hair texture and, yes, body size. While we can fluctuate from that genetic predisposition a bit, you can’t fool Mother Nature in to a completely different body type. So instead of hopping on the latest trend to “keep up” with the other mamas in playgroup, practice some self-love and body appreciation. TRY THIS: I am strong. I love my _____. My arms are powerful. My legs carry my all day. My belly is/was/will be a home for my children.
Trend Analysis: Bone Broth Bone broth has gained in popularity the last few years. Basically, you get a bunch of animal bones in a pot and boil them down for a day or two. Your favorite celebrities and influencers claim bone broth to be a nutritious workhorse supplying the drinker with copious amounts of vitamins and minerals as well as healing your gut and detoxifying your liver. Unfortunately, the research just doesn’t back that up. Aside from the ethical dilemma of raising animals purely for their bones (yes, we’ve started to do this), we can get far more nutrients from hearty soups and vegetables. In fact, research has shown that bone broth itself is not a particularly great source of minerals and vitamins (like calcium, magnesium, protein) and, as bones boil they can leach out lead (yes, even the super organic, free-range, grass-fed animal bones) which can be incredibly toxic in high levels. A better alternative? Vegetable broths! Mushrooms offer a great source of b vitamins, iron, zinc, and selenium. Seaweed is full of iodide (essential for a healthy thyroid) and miso that’s often included in veggie broth and soups can be great for its anti-inflammatory properties. Especially for pregnant and breastfeeding mamas, we need to be mindful of potential unwanted and dangerous side-effects of trendy foods like these. It’s simple: eat food in its whole form, eat more plants, ignore the trends. 🌿 References in the comments 👇🏼
Slow down, mama. The season you’re in is right where you’re meant to be. Unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, take a deep breath. You’ve got this.
