About Alycia — Your Gestational Diabetes Nutrition Expert
Hello, I’m Alycia — Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant & Gestational Diabetes Specialist​
​
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re navigating the emotional and nutritional challenges of gestational diabetes (GD) — and you’re not alone. Many women experience the confusion, stress, and uncertainty that comes with a GD diagnosis. In Canada alone, gestational diabetes develops in roughly one in ten pregnancies, and it can often feel overwhelming without the right guidance.
​
I’m here to help you turn that fear into confidence, and that overwhelm into clarity — using real-food, balanced meal strategies designed specifically for gestational diabetes management.
Why I’m Passionate About Gestational Diabetes Nutrition Support
​
Before focusing on GD, I spent my time helping women through pregnancy and postpartum nutrition. But when I saw how many women were left without clear, effective nutritional support after a gestational diabetes diagnosis (myself included - twice!), I knew I needed to specialize.
​
Gestational diabetes is not just a diagnosis — it’s an invitation to understand your body, your blood sugar, and how nourishment directly supports you and your baby’s health. With the right meal planning, carbohydrate balance, and personalized nutrition guidance, many women significantly improve their glucose control and feel empowered every step of the way.​​​​​
My Approach to Gestational Diabetes Nutrition
​
📌 Balanced Meals that Stabilize Blood Sugar
Creating meals that combine complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fiber is a cornerstone of GD nutrition. This balance helps reduce glucose spikes and supports steady energy throughout the day.
📌 Carbohydrate Awareness without Fear
Carbs aren’t the enemy — but how much you eat, what type you choose, and how they’re distributed across the day can make a big difference in your blood sugar response. We focus on smart carbohydrate choices that support your body and baby’s needs.
📌 Personalized Support That Fits YOUR Life
Gestational diabetes affects every woman differently. That’s why I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. Your goals, lifestyle, preferences, glucose patterns, and health history shape your nutrition plan.
📌 Education + Compassion
I blend evidence-based nutrition science with warmth and support from someone who has been there before. GD isn’t just about numbers — it’s about your experience, your confidence, and feeling empowered to enjoy your pregnancy.
My Credentials & Experience
​
I am trained and certified as a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner with specialized training in prenatal and gestational diabetes nutrition.

You Deserve Support That Works - And You're In The Right Place

Gestational diabetes doesn’t need to define your pregnancy. With the right guidance, you can:
✨ Understand how food affects your blood sugar

I believe nourished bodies create confident pregnancies. And I’m honoured to walk this path with you.
