Holistic Pregnancy & Parenting Health Practitioner Advanced Mastery

Do you feel a real pull to serve families during pregnancy and beyond, across every part of health?

Our certification program is built for both new and seasoned professionals. It’s different from the usual “one method” training. Instead, it blends advanced professional learning drawn from multiple health disciplines, covering preconception, childbirth, postpartum, and parenting. The focus is on helping you become the kind of practitioner families can turn to when other approaches haven’t brought relief.

At the heart of the program is a clear outcome: giving you advanced knowledge, practical tools, and steady support so you can work with families in the most meaningful, effective, and connected way possible.

We’d love for you to look closely and imagine what your life could look like, not only answering your calling, but also making a genuine difference for babies and parents.

One more bonus: when you complete the program, you’ll earn the title of a Holistic Pregnancy & Parenting Health Practitioner. On top of that, each certification you finish within the program also counts toward your overall credentials.

This program includes the following certifications:

• Baby Planner Professional
• Breastfeeding Educator
• Eco-Maternity Consultant
• Holistic Children & Teen Sleep Coach
• Pregnancy & Child Sleep Consultant
• Integrative Adult Sleep Coach
• Pre-Post Natal Nutrition Coach

Clinical-Style Learning, Built for Real Cases

You’ll get access to the IPHI Case Vault, with materials such as:

• Newborn sleep situations
• Breastfeeding difficulties
• Postpartum burnout
• Colic & reflux
• Families impacted by trauma
• Neurodivergent children
• High-stress household dynamics
• Cross-cultural family scenarios

This helps you learn how to:

• Identify underlying root causes
• Use the right questions to get to the truth
• Design plans tailored to each family
• Practice in an ethical and safe way

That’s the part that turns information into confident practitioner skill.

Your Practitioner Tool Kit

You’ll also receive:

✔ Intake forms

✔ Parent questionnaires

✔ Sleep history templates

✔ Red-flag checklists

✔ Assessment charts

So it’s not just “knowing what to do.” You’ll also learn how to do it professionally, with structure.

Practice & Business Launch Support

And yes, you get guidance on launching, too. We cover things like:

• How to position yourself
• How to price your services
• How to talk with parents in a clear, reassuring way
• How to bring in your first clients

This isn’t something to treat like a pastime.

This is a career path.

Every practitioner receives:

12 Monthly Founder Mentorship Sessions with Mar De Carlo

These sessions are built for strategy, case review, and ongoing development. You’ll be supported directly by the founder of holistic sleep coaching.

You can bring things like:

• Client case questions
• Certification-related topics
• Business and branding decisions
• Scope of practice clarity
• Confidence and positioning
• Professional growth milestones

You won’t be doing this alone.

You’ll be guided, step by step, into real mastery through personal mentorship.

ONLINE LEARNING

Everything is delivered online. You only need internet access to log in and join each session.

LIVE VS. SELF-DIRECTED VS. A COMBINATION

We offer two learning formats. Depending on the course you’re currently working on, you may choose one option or you might be enrolled in a mix of both.

Live: the date is set by the group a few weeks before classes begin. During the live interactive call, you can ask questions right when they come up. And even better, each session is recorded, so if you can’t attend, you can still go back and watch or listen later.

Self-Directed: you’ll work through pre-recorded sessions at your own pace. As you finish each module, you’ll unlock the next one. When questions come up, you can email your instructor, or join a weekly or monthly conference call to connect and get answers.

Combo: many of our courses blend self-directed modules with live sessions.

An Invite-Only Training Track

Starting in 2026, IPHI will transition to an invite-only model for practitioner training.

The reason is simple:

• protect the credibility of the profession
• avoid oversaturation
• keep the training standards high
• support graduates so they can earn with confidence

This pathway is reserved for practitioners who are aligned, serious, and truly ready to serve families.

Pre-requisite qualifications include:

• Submit an enrollment application.
• Complete an interview with our instructor and founder, Mar De Carlo.

If you’re accepted, you’ll receive instructions for your first online class and a curriculum outline. You have up to four years to finish the program.

Worldwide Recognition

IPHI has supported practitioners across 70+ countries.

After graduating, you can apply for professional membership through:

✔ Association of Professional Sleep Consultants

✔ American Association of Drugless Practitioners

✔ International Compliance Assurance for Holistic Practitioners

✔ International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine

You’re stepping into an established professional field, not just another coaching trend.
