We are the first organization to introduce and launch an integrative Pre-Post Natal Nutrition Coach Certification program in 2013, expanding coaching professionals holistic nutrition knowledge and skillset for working with clients throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Our program prepares those seeking a professional career to become Pre & Post Natal Nutrition Coaches with a holistic perspective that integrates traditional, evidence-based nutrition education with additional integrative modalities such as the bio-individuality of clients, nutrition for sleep and stress, healthy exercise/movement, and eco-friendly practices throughout the pre & post natal periods. Our focus is on a holistic approach to establishing healthy eating habits that begin during preconception and continue throughout pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. Our Pre & Post Natal Nutrition Coaches fill an important role in promoting healthy nutrition habits by educating, supporting and coaching families in response to their individual needs.
The IPHI Pre & Post Natal Nutrition Coach model utilizes a holistic science-based approach that is also individualized and patient-centered in order to help arm our coaches with the skills, education and confidence needed in order to meaningfully connect with clients and by developing optimal full mind-body wellness. The IPHI does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to providing nutrition education to our clients. Our emphasis is based on the idea of using ‘food as medicine’ and that each client has their own unique biochemical, genetic, and lifestyle individuality and that this factor should be at the foundation of creating any personalized coaching plan.
Optimal nutrition is at the root of building overall health as everything you eat affects the way the body functions and how it performs. What you eat affects how you sleep. What you eat affects your level of stress and emotional well-being. What you eat affects how you move through you day. And the examples go on and on from there. This is the reason behind our integrative approach. The health and nutrition industries are growing fast, and so is the need of passionate and dedicated nutrition coaches. The IPHI Pre & Post Natal Nutrition Coach certification program builds on the foundations of nutrition education and also focuses on prevention, using whole real foods for optimal nutrition and lifelong health for the whole family.
Our program is a combination of eighteen modules completed online through self-directed study and optional online calls to support your journey. Calls are recorded so you may listen if you cannot attend support calls. You will also have access to our private online community group where you will get to interact with our current students, graduates and members represented in 61 countries throughout the world.
Our program has been designed for professionals who desire to begin or expand their knowledge and career working with preconceiving, prenatal, and postpartum families to provide nutrition coaching, education, support and resources in order to specifically meet their nutrition goals. This is a wonderful addition for any professional who is currently working with new and expecting moms and is a wonderful complimentary program for sleep consultants, lactation consultants/educators, doulas, baby planners, newborn care specialists, pre and post natal yoga instructors, health coaches, family coaches, parenting coaches, nutritionists and more.
If you have no experience working as a coach and looking to start a new career, our program is also designed for you as it is comprehensive and provides all the tools you need to become a successful coach and business owner.
ONLINE INSTRUCTION
All of our courses are taught online. All you need is Internet access to login and be part of each class.
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, or attend a weekly/monthly conference-call with the instructor, to ask any questions you may have.
We are the first organization to introduce and launch an integrative Pre-Postnatal Nutrition Coach Certification program in 2013, expanding coaching professionals holistic nutrition knowledge and skillset for working with clients throughout pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum.
While there are many general nutrition coach certifications available, Mar De Carlo, IPHI’s founder, recognized the need for one that specializes to support women during their preconception, pregnancy and postpartum journey.
In 2012, Mar teamed up with nutritionist Sara Spears to co-create and launch IPHI’s first holistic and comprehensive Prenatal Postnatal Nutrition Coach certification program in January 2013.
At the end of 2014, Sara left IPHI to pursue tim with her expanding family and Mar continued to oversee and support our program.
From 2018-2020, Rebecca Burditt, nutritionist and IBCLC, joined the IPHI faculty team to temporarily support Mar and our expanding program.

While our program introduces and includes a wealth of reliable and credible information from various industry experts and resources that tie to prenatal and postnatal nutrition, students learn about the professional world of coaching and how to excel at coaching and consulting. It is one thing to know nutrition and it is another to be a successful coach/consultant and business owner. So apart from offering comprehensive evidence-based nutrtion 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 nutrition 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.
