Ready to make a bigger difference during pregnancy?

You want to help your pregnancy clients have the healthiest pregnancy possible. But when they arrive with conflicting advice, concerns about supplements or questions about pregnancy complications, do you feel confident knowing what to prioritise and how to help?

Become the prenatal dietitian women trust 

Imagine translating complex evidence into clear, practical advice, tailoring nutrition care to each woman’s needs and helping her feel supported throughout pregnancy. 

Pregnancy is a vital part of the first 1,000 days. Understanding prenatal nutrition and its role in epigenetic programming brings a deeper purpose to your consultations: the opportunity to support women now while helping lay the foundations for their children’s lifelong health. 

Grow your prenatal practice. Make a lasting difference. 

Nutrition Therapy for Pregnancy brings together specialist evidence, clinical skills, practical resources and live mentoring with prenatal experts in a nine-week program. 

Develop the confidence to provide meaningful prenatal consultations, communicate your expertise to clients and referrers, and build and grow your prenatal client base

Imagine a waiting list of clients eager for your help, armed with the tools and confidence to support healthy mums and give their babies the best start in life...

One of the best parts of being a prenatal dietitian is when a woman thanks you for helping her care for her own health and give her baby the best start in life. It’s a wonderful feeling, knowing that during a stressful time, YOU made the difference in helping her care for her own health and giving her baby the best start in life. 

But there’s another benefit for dietitians in private practice... motivated high-referral clients. 

Clients want to do their best for their baby. They’re looking for expert advice, reassurance they are making the right decisions, and often turn to friends for recommendations about who to trust to get the best outcome for their health during the pregnancy and their baby.  
 
They just need an expert prenatal dietitian to show them how! 

 
"My consults are a lot more tailored"
"I now niche in fertility"

- Lorinda Stutterd, Australia

Now I feel very confident and in general this was a big boost in my self-esteem and knowledge."

- Stavroula Kriki, Greece

Natalia Cantone, MS, RD, CDN, CPT

"Prior to taking this course, I was a “generalist” and did not have much experience with fertility clients. It was challenging for me to picture a session with a fertility patient at the beginning of the course. So, when Melanie shared her fertility nutrition counseling session, it became very clear how to organize my own session with a fertility patient. It was also helpful to see Melanie’s written nutrition assessment and compare her format to mine. This bonus made me more confident seeing my first fertility patient!" - Natalia Cantone, MS, RD, CDN, CPT
