Praise from Alumni
From practitioners who've taken the leap
This course is an absolute GAME CHANGER! I thought I was pretty confident in understanding women's health but I had so, so much more to learn. Nicole is an incredible teacher; fun, knowledgeable, clear, focused, driven, passionate, invested, honest, inspiring — all the things you want in a mentor. The guest speakers were also incredibly inspiring; Nicole's network brought an additional layer of learning. I cannot recommend the course enough.

The program is PHENOMENAL and had everything I wanted inside and so much more! I was blown away by just how much I was able to learn inside ONE module, not to mention TWELVE! It also helped me fill so many gaps in my knowledge — this is the content I wish I had at University as a nutritionist. I feel like this certification should be something every coach in the industry does so they can serve their clients deeply.

I would highly recommend this program to any woman looking to understand how all our different systems work alongside our menstrual health. This is the only program that gives you the detailed, in-depth explanation of how they work together and more importantly what to consider when things change. The number of resources provided in the portal are way more than I expected.
