The Build Membership, Nurture Membership, and Restore Membership allow you to choose a membership level that gives you access to research-based, ready-to-teach courses on preconception, pregnancy, and/or postpartum health—the Feed Your Body, Grow Your Family!™ trio of courses. Additionally, members receive built-in business and clinical mentoring in a supportive community framework.
You can choose to teach your family-focused classes live or online and use the curriculum to lead groups or one-to-one appointments for parents and couples. The Feed Your Body, Grow Your Family!™ programs are designed to help you guide parents-to-be in your integrated nutrition practice. As a member, you’re also invited to monthly instructor calls and our private instructor Facebook forum.
Business and clinical guidance occur in the annual Foundations in Practice business mentoring group, a live 5-week course designed to strengthen business basics such as mindset, time management, financial organization, network building, and marketing. Clinical skills are expanded in the twice-monthly Case Study Toolkit group, an established community of experienced clinicians led by Sara Russell, Ph.D., FNTP.
Our highest membership level includes one-to-one quarterly calls for personalized planning, strategizing, and celebrating both business and clinical milestones. You’ll complete these calls with practical action steps to create a successful and satisfying career.
Your Build, Nurture, or Restore membership gives you access to all this and more!
