STANDARDS OF PRACTICE
An IPHI-IABPP certified baby planner is a maternity consultant that provides unbiased support, information, education and resources to preconceiving,new and expecting parents. By evaluating their clients specific needs and providing them with the appropriate information, education and resources, baby planners empower their clients to make the best decisions for their growing family.
The IPHI and IABPP does not believe that baby planners should try to be experts at everything. Instead, the Academy encourages members and students to take the time to pursue the proper training, credentials and licensing in specialty areas they have a specific interest in. Additionally, baby planners who wish to specialize in a specific area should gain experience and education in that area and should carry the proper liability or professional insurance required for each specialty service they offer.
IPHI certified Greenproofer/ Eco-Maternity consultant™ professionals use an individualized and unbiased approach, assess, motivate, educate and prepare clients for non-toxic living. They provide the guidance to help clients achieve their personal green goals and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Recognizing their own area of expertise, eco-maternity consultants refer clients to other qualified professionals when appropriate.
An Eco-Maternity Consultant does not diagnose, treat, examine or medically advise their clients. Unless an Eco-Maternity Consultant holds an additional license or certification in a specific area of practice, an Eco-Maternity Consultant does not perform installations that require advanced training.
The role of a maternity and child sleep consultant is to empower clients by offering integrative holistic support and education in a non-biased fashion that is tailored to meeting the unique sleep needs of each individual family during pregnancy and postpartum.
A maternity and child sleep consultant is committed helping clients find the root of their sleep challenges and advising clients about all of their options so that they may make informed decisions.
A Maternity and Child Sleep Consultant works with families during all stages from pregnancy to toddler to develop healthy sleep habits that are age and developmentally appropriate. This may include working with an expectant mom during pregnancy, both parents or single parents during postpartum, and with babies and children.
Additionally a Maternity and Child Sleep Consultant provides support, information, education and resources based on each individual family’s sleep needs, lifestyle, and culture. Maternity & Child Sleep Consultants do not follow traditional mainstream “one size fits all” approaches. They may take aspects of approaches to blend and integrate with a holistic perspective and use what founder, Mar De Carlo has termed “Sleep Optimizing”
Maternity & Child Sleep Consultants follow the Holistic Science of Sleep Method developed by founder, Mar De Carlo which thoroughly examines the entire context for sleep – the physical, emotional, social, developmental and environmental factors and assess the family, not just the child sleep problem, and make adjustments to sleep that are responsive to the family’s needs.
A Holistic Pregnancy & Child Sleep Practitioner works with families during all stages to develop healthy sleep habits that are age and developmentally appropriate. This may include working with an expectant mom during pregnancy, both parents or single parents during postpartum, and with babies and children. Additionally a holistic pregnancy & child sleep practitioner provides support, information, education and resources based on each individual family’s sleep needs, lifestyle, and culture and creates a plan based on the Holistic Science of Sleep Method™ which does not utilize any form of sleep training.
