HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS
ONLINE INSTRUCTION
All of our courses are taught online and internationally. All you need is Internet access to login and be part of each class.
LIVE VS. SELF-DIRECTED VS. COMBO?
Our Integrative Adult Sleep Coach Certification is a combo course of self-directed and live mentoring case study practicum classes comprised of two tracks. In order to complete our Integrative Adult Sleep Coach Certification, completion of both tracks one and two are required. If you are only seeking continuing education or a strong foundation for adult sleep coaching using our Holistic approach and are not seeking a certification, then you would only complete track one.
Track One: Self-Directed, 19 modules with quizzes to complete after each module and an add-on option for bi-monthly online live group support calls. Upon successfully completing track one, you receive a certificate of completion for continuing education.
Track Two: Online live weekly group mentoring case study practicum classes following track one. 10 sessions at 1.5 hours each session, where participants have an opportunity to take all they have learned from Track I and apply it in case study work that is covered each week for 10 weeks. You will explore many specialized and standard cases utilizing the knowledge and skills gained in Track I. Students are guided and mentored through their case study work as well as their business. the days and times are worked out between the instructor and enrolled students depending on their availability and time zone. Once the days and times are confirmed, each class is recorded so you can follow along in case you cannot make it to each live weekly class, but you have to check in and submit assignments each week with this component because you are personally being guided and mentored by your instructor. Upon successful completion of track two (in addition to completing track one), you receive our Integrative Adult Sleep Coach Certification.
Live: a date is selected among participants a few weeks before the start of classes. During this live interactive call you can ask questions as needed. Each class is recorded though so even if you miss it, you’ll still be able to listen to it at your convenience!
Self-Directed: all sessions are pre-recorded and you are given access to the new modules as you complete each one. You will email your instructor (included in track one price), or attend a weekly/monthly conference-call with the instructor (add on price option), to ask any questions you may have.
Course Deadline: Participants have one year to complete the course from the date of enrollment.
Certification Requirements: Participants must complete all course requirements which include completion of quizzes, case study assigments, final project and practicum work. More details of our course requirements can be found in our course terms and conditions upon enrollment.
The International Parenting Institute™ (IPHI), a leading health educational organization, becomes the first accredited organization to offer an online sleep program providing integrative tools and solutions for both adult and child sleep.
We are the first organization to introduce the first Integrative Adult Sleep Coach Certification in 2015 to the Adult Sleep Coach Professional industry training professionals and raising an incredible amount of awareness to vital subjects that, at the time, were not being considered or evaluated as part of adult sleep coach-client relationship. After IPHI launched their Pregnancy and Child Sleep Consultant program in 2012, Mar De Carlo, IPHI’s founder, recognized the need to offer and Adult Sleep Coach Program as she became aware that a holistic professional training program for adult sleep did not exist at the time and many adults just as much as children were in need of support to overcome their sleep challenges. As a result, our course was created and designed to prepare professionals to work with, address, and resolve a variety of adolescent and adult sleep issues ranging from insomnia to anxiety to chronic pain through an in-depth evaluation of health and lifestyle applying our Holistic Science of Sleep Method.
Besides the significant contributions Mar has made to the adult sleep coaching industry with her holistic science of sleep method approach, it is important to note that the content included in IPHI’s Integrative Adult Certification program is not made up by Mar on her own. While the Holistic Science of Sleep Method system and formulation are unique to Mar and IPHI, and while Mar has over two decades of extensive professional training and experience which includes over 25 certifications, she compiled a wealth of evidenced based research and science for the IPHI Integrative Adult Sleep Coach certification program that is not just based on theory but also practical application. During their learning journey, students of the IPHI Integrative Adult Sleep Coach program are guided and mentored through a variety of real-life case studies where they have an opportunity to apply and practice what they learn.
While our program introduces and includes a wealth of reliable and credible information from various industry experts and resources that tie to adult sleep, students learn about the professional world of coaching and how to excel at coaching and consulting. It is one thing to know sleep and it is another to be a successful coach/consultant and business owner. So apart from offering comprehensive evidence-based sleep education, our program also includes comprehensive evidence-based coaching education and business education. Because our founder, Mar also has a diverse professional background and experience, she is able to look at the adult sleep industry from different angles always allowing her to bring a new and fresh perspective to our program and students. This is what also gives IPHI an advantage in our curriculum development. Mar never stops learning. She consistently participates in new programs, collaborates and learns from experts, her faculty and continuously updates our program.

The Birth of IPHI
“It was one courageous decision that completely changed my life on August 7 2009.
After arriving in Northern California, as a newly single first time mom with no friends or family close by, I made the decision to turn down a high profile client so I could remain securing my attachment with my daughter. I had $20 left in my bank account and was about to begin living off of credit cards until I figured things out.
The decision to turn down a high profile client led me to dig deep and find a way to provide for myself and my daughter without compromising my time away from her during such a challenging time.
Three days of immense trust, I began meditating and repeating to myself that in every challenge there is an opportunity. On the third day, I received an answer with a clear vision.
Little did I know my challenging personal journey would become my service and contribution to parents, children and professionals who work with them.
The tremendous amount of years I spent studying and training in several fields in addition to a wealth of experience I obtained, expanded to give birth to my International Parenting & Health Institute currently represented in 61 countries.”
Soda Kuczkowski has passionately worked in the field of sleep medicine and sleep health education as a diagnostic sleep consultant for the past 14 years. She is the owner and founder of START WITH SLEEP, an integrative education resource center and retail boutique that focuses on both behavioral and medical sleep challenges located in Buffalo, New York. She is committed to addressing sleep concerns and questions by providing sleep health guidance through a channel of various educational components including sleep consulting + coaching, facilitation of medical sleep disorder testing, wellness workshops and community programs for both corporate wellness initiatives and school trainings. She is certified in maternity, child and adult sleep consulting and coaching through the International Parenting & Health Institute. Her education includes a Bachelor’s in Communications from the University at Buffalo and the completion of the Master’s Program in Educational Leadership and Administration from Niagara University.
Sleep expert Mar De Carlo provides hope for the 50 to 70 million adults who have sleep or wakefulness disorders with her book Awakening Through Sleep, a 40,000-word self-help guide to sleep education.
Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy, and can be risk factors for a number of serious pregnancy-related sleep disorders. The threat, though, don’t end post birth. Child sleep challenges affect whole families, causing stress, loss of family connection, and trauma. It’s no surprise, then, that sleep deprivation costs $411 billion annually in the United States alone. In Awakening Through Sleep, Mar—founder of the International Parenting & Health Institute and Association of Professional Sleep Consultants—leads readers in understanding the key principles, thinking, and ideas that define a holistic approach to this devastating issue so they can lead enriching lives. Readers will finish the book understanding the roots, science, roadblocks, and benefits of such exploration, with a clear path for how to shape brilliant and bold futures.
Stylized with gentle encouragement designed to instruct and empower, Awakening Through Sleep will appeal to parents and soon-to-be parents; academics, including students; psychotherapists and mental health workers; and curious 21st-century thinkers. As COVID-19 has afforded people worldwide a moment of reflection (and, indeed, amplified the importance of self-care practices), now is an important time for this book.
As the first in the child sleep consultant industry to develop and launch a Holistic Adult and Child Sleep Certification program (2012), Mar specializes in training professionals on sleep education during pregnancy. Her program and approach have met success in 59 countries and are currently represented in 10 languages. She showcases her expertise through individual sessions, workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements, and has been featured and / or quoted in Good Morning America, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, Consumer Reports, MarketWatch, and many other outlets.
To remain IPHI recognized, and to continue receiving the benefits of an IPHI trained professional, students are required to maintain a standard of professional development measured every two years after receiving their official certification.
This consists of 3 easy steps:
Step 1: Earn 25 Professional Development Credits every two years (continuing education credits/CEUs) Professional Development Credits can be acquired many different ways, such as, attending seminars or conferences related to professional development in the maternity industry, participation in webinars that offer educational classes, writing book reports, completing case histories, etc…. 1 hour = 1 professional development credit
Step 2: Be covered by current liability insurance if your country or state requires it.
Step 3: Complete and submit the IPHI certification renewal form which includes a processing fee of $75.
We are excited to meet you and we look forward to supporting your professional journey.
