Welcome Mama + Mama to be

The road to motherhood and beyond can be challenging. We know we must eat well to nourish ourselves and our children. But with all the noise on what food or supplement is best, it can feel overwhelming, confusing and exhausting.

Let me simplify this for you, and show you how to thrive on a nutrient rich balanced diet so you feel well throughout motherhood and beyond.

I’m Clodagh Thomas,
founder of Thrive and mother to Ella.

How can we help you?

  • Preconception

    By creating healthy habits prior to conceiving you set yourself up to thrive during pregnancy, post-partum and beyond motherhood

  • Pregnancy

    Nourishing each pregnancy is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Know how best to support your health and the development of your growing baby

  • Post-Partum

    When a baby is born, you are also born and you both need to be nurtured.

  • Baby Weaning

    Starting your baby on solids can be difficult. Let us help you feel confident to know how to nourish your baby now and into the future

  • The Thriving Mama

    This is for a mama who is barely surviving let alone thriving. She has very little energy, and has a general feeling of being unwell in her body. She knows food is medicine but doesn’t know where to start.

  • The Working Mama

    Helping mothers in the workplace thrive through the food they eat
