Dana Dose, THE Family Nutritionist Pro sees patients nationwide where she works with them online to reduce the stress of making meals and being nourished. She has two kids and became a mama at the age of 33. Her biggest challenge of becoming a mom was figuring out her new place in the world and doing it without any sleep. She lost her lifelong best friend 2 months after the birth of her first baby and that rocked her world. Her biggest supporter was her husband (even though there were days that weren't all that wonderful), her family who were all 2,000 miles away but her sister was a huge support for breast feeding. As a clinical person, she thought she had it all figured out but then when reality hit, things changed and after finding good moms groups, that changed her motherhood journey. Finding good mama moments come when her kids are laughing and enjoying each other. Watching them love one another in their own way is so important. The worst mama moments are when her kids experience any kind of medical issues that she can't solve for them (like surgeries and illnesses). She wishes she would have known that finding your place in the world is a REAL struggle and going back to your pre-pregnancy self isn't a thing. You have become a new person, have a completely different list of new responsibilities and emotions. You will never be that person again. You are a new you and that's ok. She wishes parenting was a judgement free zone. Can't we all support one another and stop judging one another. There is not one way to do things and that's the best thing to realize so you don't beat yourself up! Her instagram is @thefamilynutritionpro The website can be found at thefamilynutritionpro.com.
