After having launched the first Baby Planner program in 2009, Mar De Carlo, the founder of IPHI, was provided an opportunity to evaluate and contribute to the profession of child sleep consulting in 2011. She noticed that a holistic child sleep consultant professional training program had not existed and also recognized that there were a large number of child sleep consultants who were using one size-fits all sleep training methods that did not leave much room for parents to have options. She also noticed that pregnancy sleep support and the child sleep education, prior to birth, was not being taught to child sleep consultants in addition to various vital subjects that affect sleep like birth psychology, birth trauma, emotional well-being, emotional abuse, cultural and religious differences, special needs, sleep-based nutrition for mom and baby, conscious parenting, yoga nidra and much more. 

As a result, in 2012, Mar was the first in the child sleep consultant industry to pioneer a holistic approach that began during pregnancy and included all of the subjects and missing pieces, mentioned above. Mar felt that by introducing her holistic approach, it would raise the bar and level of awareness for child sleep consultants, inspire them to begin working during pregnancy and also motivate them to reformulate their traditional use of sleep training to a customizable holistic approach that involves a thorough investigative process honoring each family’s unique needs, including evaluating and supporting parents physical and emotional well-being and where traditional and rigid forms of sleep training they were once using, were no longer the limiting standard.

In 2012, Mar launched the first Pregnancy & Child Sleep Certification program via IPHI, a holistic team-based approach and also founded the Association or Professional Sleep Consultants to provide a platform and space for sleep consultants from various backgrounds to connect, learn, grow and receive support. The program was received well and grew very quickly.

In 2015, Mar re-evaluated how her holistic approach was being implemented and applied by IPHI’s graduates and learned that while the majority of sleep consultants were implementing and utilizing her holistic approach properly, a minority were utilizing it improperly with rigid sleep training methods which created some confusion. In that same year, Mar addressed this challenge by deciding to write her book, “Awakening Through Sleep: a transformational and spiritual guide to pregnancy, adult and child sleep” in order to publicly document her holistic approach and clarify her message and expand her mission.

During 2015, Mar also began re-examining the accuracy and benefits of continuing to use the term “sleep training” as while the term can represent many different approaches to child sleep from “cry it out”, to “no cry” and everything in between, the term continued to carry a very negative and controversial perspective among professionals and parents which divided them and just as importantly did not accurately represent Mar’s pure holistic approach which does not require any traditional form of sleep training. Therefore, in the years that followed, Mar introduced updated measures, policies and upgraded content for IPHI’s Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant program (125 hours) to ensure that her holistic approach was not being misused by professionals or boxed in with the confusing various limiting perspectives of “sleep training”.

Besides the significant contributions Mar has made to the child sleep consulting industry with her holistic science of sleep method approach, it is important to note that the content included in IPHI’s Pregnancy & Child Sleep 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 along with her team, have compiled a wealth of evidenced based research and science that is not just based on theory but also practical application. During their learning journey, students of the IPHI Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant 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 experts and resources that tie to pregnancy and child 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 child 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..

Various organizations offer accreditation of schools, however this does not fully guarantee the quality of the program or the successful outcome of the coach. Therefore both theory and practice are included in all of our programs which require a mimimum of 85 and maximum of 1,000 hours of professional training as well as continuous program review and updates; and partcipant surveys and evaluations.

In the United States, coaching isn’t regulated by any state or federal agency. There is no licensing requirement for the various specialized parenting and health coaching professions like there is for medical doctors or therapists. As a result, while we have sought to become accredited through a few organizations, to ensure high professional standards and best practices, all of our professionals follow our code of ethics and scope and boundaries to practice in addition to being required to state up to date with their education via certification renewal every two years. 

IPHI has chosen to become accredited with the following organizations below.
