“This Women’s Health Coach Certification program was fantastic! I love the new skills I have learned and had no idea that coaching was so helpful in every aspect of my life.”

It has made me be more mindful in conversations and helped me to be more aware of my own current situation. I feel that the course has helped my health in a positive way and I hope to continue to have this support. I really liked the content and I feel much more empowered to work with women.

The Women’s Health Coaching Certificate program is a top-notch program that really helps the practitioner take their knowledge and skill to the next level.

I personally have been able to provide better care to the women I work with. I have also greatly benefited from applying the coaching and lifestyle management strategies to myself. I also look closer at how I am feeling and have developed better stress responses, and nutritional plans.

Thank you so much Jessica for pursuing your passion to help women. It will have an amazingly positive ripple affect now and many years to come for me in my practice, my life, and the life of my family. I also appreciate the support staff and the quick response to questions. Overall this program is amazing!”

WOMEN’S HEALTH COACHING

“I cannot say enough good things about IWHI’s Women’s Health Coach Certification program. It is thorough, informative, evidence-based, practical, and changes the paradigm of caring for women with pelvic pain.

As a board certified obstetrician and gynecologist who has been dissatisfied with the standard of care for pelvic pain and spent thousands of dollars attending numerous conferences on pelvic pain, pain processing, holistic and integrative medicine, I wish I had started with this program first.

I would have saved money and been very well prepared to treat this patient population in a more and evidence-based way.

For any medical doctors who may be hesitant, delay no longer; you will be more than satisfied! 

This course will change your practice and the way you view not only your pelvic pain patients but all of your patients.”

    IWHI provides all the answers I have been searching for – an integrative approach to women’s health care, combining nutrition, lifestyle and premier coaching for ultimate health. I stumbled across IWHI in 2014 when I was trying to find help for the many personal issues I was facing. My health was at it’s lowest, I’d just had my first Endometriosis laparoscopy, and was still experiencing many symptoms particularly digestively and hormonally.

    I am blessed to be one of the first students to enroll for the Women’s Health Coaching program. And the program literally changed my life, transforming my own health and the health of my complex clients beyond bounds.

    Going through the WHC program has also inspired me to start up my own online education and coaching business – The Pelvic Expert. I’m so grateful to have the support of amazing therapists, coaches, and healers like Jessica. Thank you Jessica for being an amazing inspiration!”
