Holistic Pregnancy & Postaprtum Educators meet with expecting and new parents to offer coaching, education, resources and support so that they can make informed decisions.
Holistic Pregnancy & Postaprtum Educators empower expecting and new parents to make the right decisions for themselves and their babies by offering support and education in a non-biased fashion that is tailored for meeting the unique needs of each individual family during preconception, pregnancy and beyond. “Some expecting parents may want to know the differences between a Bradley, Lamaze, and HypnoBirthing class, while other parents want to know if they should use a birthing or postpartum doula. Some expecting parents want help with choosing products for their registry, while others want to do the research for themselves. What is important is that a Holistic Pregnancy & Postaprtum Educators does not assume what a client needs and tailors their services based on each client’s specific situation.
Holistic Pregnancy & Postaprtum Educators may work with expecting parents throughout the entire duration of their pregnancy, postpartum or may meet with them for just a few sessions.
Our Holistic Pregnancy & Postpartum Educator program is a combination of our Baby Planner, Eco-Consultant and Holistic Childbirth Educator programs. We decided to combine all thre programs into one in order to meet the modern demands of parents and provide professionals with the opportunity to expand upon their offerings.
Holistic Pregnancy & Postpartum Educators cover all the topics found in childbirth education in addition to a variety of vital topics not typically found in childbirth education such as the importance of greening your pregnancy, birth and postpartum environment in order to understand environmental causes and effects beneficial to optimizing mom and baby’s health; pregnancy sleep and newborn sleep, postpartum plan, back to work plan, grief and loss, fitness, product awareness and baby gear, child safety, special needs, child care, parenting support resources, stress management, skin and body care, pre and postnatal nutrition, non-violent communication and much more.

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.”

Eventually, I approached her when I had a specific questions for my business. I booked her for a short session and the short amount of time with her was so powerful. Mar has the greatest respect for my time and made sure that I got the most value out of my experience with her regardless of the short time we had. I never looked back since. My business is growing slowly but steadily, and Mar has now become my go-to business coach that I talk to regularly to bounce off ideas, seek advice from and just learn from in general!”
