100 Ways to Relax: Part 1 with Jennifer Ward

Sunday, October 10, 2021 • Duration 47:43

WE DIVE INTO 100 Ways to Relax. WE GO DEEP with Naturopath Jennifer Ward who OPENS UP her list of ways to relax that she curated using suggestions made by her clients.

We go through 50 suggestions and in the next episode we go through the second 50, with Naturopath and Nutritionist Brooke Schiller who works with Jennifer at Halsa Health.

A little bit about Jennifer Ward:

She is a Senior Naturopath and owner of Halsa Health; is trained in herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, health & lifestyle coaching and is currently completing a Masters of Reproductive Medicine.

Her passion lies in reproductive health. The journey to becoming a first-time mother is an exciting and often overwhelming time, and Jennifer provides support and guidance through the journey from deciding to start trying, to all the way into the fourth trimester. She works with each patient and their healthcare team including GP's, midwives, Obstetricians, doulas and acupuncturists.

Jennifer’s journey to naturopathic fertility care began when she started to plan for her first child, Lily. Through her own positive experience, she was able to better understand the journey to motherhood each step of the way which she is now fortunate to pass on to her patients. Her journey inspired further studies into Reproductive Medicine which is assisting her to bridge the gap between the world of medicine and alternative therapies.

Jennifer finds it most rewarding when her patients speak positively about their pregnancy experience and carry on that vitality into the fourth trimester and beyond.

I hope you enjoy our chat.
