Perinatal Wellness Professional Certification Program

 The Perinatal Wellness Program:

• is based in science. Balancing traditional use of herbs and home remedies with the abundant scientific evidence that we have today.
• is fully holistic, addressing all areas of wellness in alignment with the World Health Organization: nutrition, exercise, natural healing, stress reduction, mental and emotional wellbeing, social health, and spiritual health.
• is full spectrum, covering the entire perinatal period: pregnancy, labor & birth, postpartum, breastfeeding and newborn care.
• teaches the legalities of a non-medical profession in a balanced way.
• fully prepares students for one-on-one consultations with personal guidance and hands-on practicum.

In addition, you get to complete the program at your own pace AND have personalized support from instructors through email, monthly zoom classes, and a live application-driven practicum. It’s the best of both worlds! You can now become a confident, full-spectrum, fully holistic, health & wellness consultant for expectant families with only one certification.

This is absolutely the ONLY program out there that has such a broad health scope with strong perinatal focus. That’s what makes this certification unique!

You have one year to complete both stages of the certification. Stage one consists of reading and monthly online classes. The introductory class will be held January 6 with additional classes every 4 -5 weeks ending June 2.

Stage Two starts with the virtual practicum weekend on June 6- 8. You can then begin taking certifying clients and take your exams. 

 Because each of us has our own preferred way of reading, we are leaving it up to you to decide how you would like to source your books. The Reading List consists of 4 books (plus an optional book if you don’t have previous training or experience in the birth field.) They are all readily available online, and each comes in paperback and ebook format. While I recommend purchasing the books so that you will have them for reference when working with clients, you may also be able to borrow them or find them through your local library.  

They can all be found at Amazon. Please note:  As an Amazon associate,  I will make a small commission from any sales made through the links below
