Our Mission

We help pregnant mothers in low-income communities, within the Greater New Bedford area,  stay safe and healthy by providing nutrition education and support systems they can trust.


Our Values

Every ‘body’ is different but pregnant bodies all need similar nutrition. We believe everyone should have access to knowledge and information that could make them (and their babies) happier and healthier. At Maternal Instincts, we provide support and guidance to help make your pregnancy FEARLESS!

Jocelyn is a mother of two. She has her Master of Science in Nutrition Education. She has a passion for health during different life cycles and discovering what the body needs to thrive. She has her own business conducting one-on-one nutrition coaching. She lives in an urban city and discovered that low-income communities nearby are underserved. There are many pregnant women lacking support and knowledge surrounding proper nutrition. That is when she decided to create Maternal Instincts.
