This course lasts approximately one month. New lessons are released weekly after registration to help students remain engaged and motivated to complete the course. You will have full access to the online course for 6 months following registration. All materials you wish to keep must be downloaded by that time.
We are a part of our clients’ lives for just a brief sliver of time. But it is a pivotal time! They are in a unique place where they are motivated like never before to make healthy changes. If we teach them how to make sustainable changes, it can impact the rest of their lives – and the lives of their children! I think we would all agree that teaching nutrition and stress management should be a major focus in prenatal education. But this topic is barely touched on in most birth professional trainings. Laura Speece is a nutritionist and experienced teacher, and she will show you how to teach this topic with excellence!
