Pre and Postnatal Nutrition
Certification
Pregnancy is one of the most significant times in a woman’s life and it
will have a profound impact on her body long after the birth. It’s therefore
essential that she is properly guided by a qualified nutritionist who has a
pre and postnatal nutrition certification. The nutrient-rich diet she
receives will help to reduce nausea, skin problems, swelling, low energy
levels and postpartum depression. A dietary coach can also support
breastfeeding success, increase energy levels after the birth and even
prevent complications in pregnancy like gestational diabetes.
This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to safely advise,
educate and inspire clients during a pre-conception, pregnancy or
postnatal period on how best to achieve a healthy lifestyle through food.
The program will explore the latest research findings and international
recommendations in this area.
In addition, the course will consider some of the common
misconceptions surrounding a client’s diet in this important and
challenging time. It will look at things like how a diet should be prior to
conception, the role of omega-3 and DHA fatty acids in preconception,
healthy weight gain, the need for adequate protein intake during
pregnancy and more.
For the fitness professional, working with pregnant and postnatal
(ante/post natal) clients can be an exciting and rewarding opportunity to
work within a niche and specialist sector of the active leisure industry.
Providing this service requires an in-depth and detailed understanding of
the physiology, biomechanical adaptations and key health and safety
considerations that are unique to this group.
Our program has been designed for fitness professionals who want to
expand their services and offer nutritional support to a specialized group
of clients. Having this extra skill set will make you stand out from the
competition and enhance the quality of your clients experience. The
course is also an ideal addition to the portfolios of sleep consultants,
baby planners, doulas, breastfeeding specialists, nutritionists, pre and
post natal yoga instructors, sleep coaches and many other
complementary allied healthcare practitioners.
