PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Integrative Women’s Health Institute
The Peri/Menopause Certification Program:
Confidence in Complexity™
The only year-long, integrative certification that prepares health professionals to navigate even the most complex perimenopause and menopause cases with clarity, confidence, and calm.
Why Most Menopause Trainings Leave Practitioners Feeling Unprepared
Most professional trainings in perimenopause and menopause stop at the basics: just teaching you hormone therapies OR nutrition and fitness strategies.
No other program available integrates the hormone and metabolic shifts of perimenopause and menopause with the common chronic conditions that women in this phase of life often struggle with, including endometriosis, autoimmune issues, migraines, post-viral illnesses, digestive issues, chronic pain and fatigue conditions, MCAS, POTS, hEDS, and more, and mentors you to integrate ALL available tools from hormone therapies, to nutrition and supplementation, exercise, nervous system regulation tools, and advanced longevity strategies from red light therapies to peptide therapies with our proprietary 7-Step System and MAPS Systems.
THE REALITY IS, WOMEN RARELY ARRIVE IN MIDLIFE WITHOUT COMPLEXITY.
MOST PROGRAMS PREPARE YOU FOR THE SIMPLE CASES. THIS PROGRAM PREPARES YOU FOR THE REAL ONES.
Become an IWHI-Certified Perimenopause & Menopause Expert!
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Your clients show up with:
- Hot flashes layered with autoimmunity
- Insomnia alongside mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
- Brain fog interwoven with endometriosis
- Fatigue complicated by dysautonomia (such as POTS)
- Weight changes combined with trauma histories
Every woman brings a unique story. And when practitioners are trained only in surface-level protocols, they feel stuck. Women feel dismissed. And your both leave the encounter unsatisfied.
The Integrative Women’s Health Institute built the Confidence in Complexity™ framework to change that.
From Burnout to Breakthrough: Stephanie’s Story
Take Stephanie, a pelvic health physical therapist.
She was skilled, dedicated, and passionate. But her days were packed, her schedule rigid, and she constantly felt anxious and exhausted.
She loved her patients—but she knew she couldn’t keep up this pace forever.
After completing this certification, Stephanie built a thriving, flexible consulting practice in women’s health. Without prior business experience, she grew her income consistently and flexibly while finally feeling calm, confident, and in control of her career.
Stephanie isn’t an exception. She’s proof of what’s possible when practitioners are given the right tools, structure, and support to serve women in midlife at the level they truly deserve.
