Build a fulfilling career empowering the mothers of our next generation
Did you know that only 15% of pregnant women meet the minimum national exercise recommendations each week? What’s more, a surprising 20% to 30% of pregnant women worldwide suffer from some form of vitamin deficiency.
Pregnancy is a unique period of additional nutritional needs and special exercise requirements. Poor and imbalanced health choices can cause severe conditions that affect both child and mother in this period of life.
What is the AFPA Pregnancy Health Coach Bundle?
By becoming an AFPA Certified Pregnancy Health Coach, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to transform mothers and their children’s lives by supporting them in making better health and nutrition decisions. We’ve combined two of our most powerful programs, the Prenatal & Postpartum Fitness Specialist Certification and the Health & Wellness Coach Certification, to help you create a more comprehensive approach to empowering, educating, and coaching moms.
This program is perfect for you if you’re:
- Just starting a career in the health, fitness, or wellness industry and want to differentiate by choosing a niche.
- An experienced health and wellness professional but want to specialize in your practice and advance your knowledge.
- Passionate about health, wellness, nutrition, and fitness, and you want to educate prenatal and postpartum women on practical ways to positively impact their health as well as their baby’s health.
