Girls Gone Strong Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification

67–75% of people who hire a coach or trainer are women, and 85% of women will have a baby in their life. 

However, there aren’t currently enough health and fitness professionals who understand how to help pre- and postnatal women have a safe, strong, and healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

The stats are clear:

This means that women you work with are at risk of experiencing these conditions. 

Chances are a woman you know is struggling with issues related to pregnancy or postpartum at this very moment...and you might not even know it. 

What’s more — many of these conditions could be prevented, or at least mitigated, with proper coaching, training, and pelvic health physiotherapy.

Here’s the good news… 

There are so many things health, fitness, and nutrition professionals can do within their scope of practice to help women struggling with pelvic health issues.

And that’s precisely why we created our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification.

Because we believe we can change pre- and postnatal women’s experiences. And we know there’s not another group of professionals who have a bigger opportunity to do exactly that.

More women than ever want to stay fit, healthy, and strong during and after pregnancy. And they need someone they can count on and trust to keep them safe. Someone to help support and empower them through this special time in their life.

 

As health, fitness, nutrition, and rehab professionals, we’re on the front lines of critical conversations with women about exercise, nutrition, rehab, self-care, and body image.

We have thousands of students and grads in over 125 countries around the world, including countries in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia, and Africa.

So whether you are:

...our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification is for you.

You’ll get the knowledge, tools, and systems you need to do rewarding work, and become the go-to expert for coaching pregnant and postpartum women. 

Once you graduate, you’ll have everything you need to safely and effectively coach women through one of the most significant times of their life. 

Given that almost 100% of women have diastasis recti by week 35 of pregnancy and nearly one-third of women still have it at 12 months postpartum, we know how important it is to feel confident helping your clients who ask you questions about this common condition.

That’s why we’ve included extensive, evidence-based information throughout this Certification on diastasis recti including:

By the time you become a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach, you’ll know exactly how to:

Once you register, you’ll get immediate access to your online learning platform. Plus, your Certification materials will be shipped to you — free of charge — anywhere in the world.

We’ve made countless updates to the Certification that dramatically improve how much you learn, how easy it is to apply, and the overall student experience. You’ll be able to answer even more client questions, faster (with our improved content, online platform, and new textbook layout) — making a greater impact on women’s lives than you ever thought possible. 

Here’s a little taste of what you can expect:

The Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification was developed by 21 world-leading women’s health experts for anyone who wants to help women have safer, healthier, stronger pregnancies and postpartum recoveries.

These 21 experts span 12 fields of study, and include:

These women come from five different countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, and the UK, and currently work (or have worked) at Johns Hopkins, Baylor Medical, University of Florida, Georgetown University, and Precision Nutrition.

(In fact, the three female co-authors of the PN Certification helped develop this Cert, making it the perfect complement to PN-1). 

And what's even more special is our *process* for creating the curriculum.

Every single chapter was written, reviewed, and edited by as many as 6–10 of the experts listed above.

We asked each expert to challenge one another's ideas and methods and help integrate the best available evidence and research with their professional experience so we could create the world’s-first and only truly interdisciplinary, evidence-based, practical coaching Certification.

In other words, the women behind this certification weren’t just “kind of involved” — they dedicated hundreds of hours of wisdom and passion to this project…

...and the result is a one-of-a-kind Certification that stands alone at the top of the industry.

Not only that, but in creating this Certification, we’ve helped revolutionize communication between industry professionals, resulting in a truly holistic approach to pre- and postnatal care. 

Rather than working independently of each other (as is generally the case), our experts worked together, learning how each of their specialties overlaps with one another's to create a new standard of support for pre- and postnatal care.

Bringing these experts together allowed us to create the most comprehensive, trusted, and globally-relevant Certification in the industry. 

Most Certifications related to pregnancy or postpartum cover one, maybe two topics.

No other Certification dives deep into coaching and psychology, nutrition, female anatomy and physiology and how it changes during and after pregnancy, the birth process, rest, recovery, and exercise programming with 21 experts spanning 12 fields of study.

We package all this information in a beautifully-designed, one-of-a-kind 518-page textbook you can keep and reference for years to come.

You’ll also get our revamped 100+ page workbook with questions designed to highlight key takeaways and practice the application of what you’re learning in each chapter.

Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to our brand-new online learning platform complete with dozens of coaching and demonstration videos, movement screens, time-saving forms, workout templates, questionnaires, and assessment tools you can use with your clients immediately. 

You’ll learn every aspect of successfully coaching pre- and postnatal women step-by-step, from start to finish — and you’ll develop the confidence and skills to troubleshoot any coaching or training problem your clients may have.

All of these factors — our experts, our curriculum, our evidence-based approach — come together to make this Certification the most reputable and trusted of its kind.

The experts at Girls Gone Strong have consulted with, collaborated with, and been featured by organizations like Johns Hopkins, Baylor Medical, Precision Nutrition, and Yale University.

That’s why it’s recommended by industry legends like Dr. John Berardi, Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, renowned Olympic Sprint Coach Stu McMillan, and many others.

And why organizations like NSCA, Perform Better, and IDEA Fit trust our experts to educate their coaches and trainers on working with pre- and postnatal women.

Giving birth is a life-changing moment in a woman’s life. As wonderful as the highlights can be, we can’t ignore the struggles that many women face throughout their pregnancy and postpartum experience.

Our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification dives deep into the often-overlooked psychological aspects that affect a woman’s mental health, wellbeing, and mindset such as:

As a coach, you'll want to be prepared to have conversations around these challenging topics to help your clients feel seen, heard, and supported — and our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification will show you how.

Each of these women has 10–20+ years of practical and clinical experience in their respective fields and they’re the best at what they do.

We know life is busy. And that’s exactly why we’ve designed our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification to be entirely self-paced.

If you’ve got kids, a training job, another job, or other responsibilities to attend to, then you can customize your time and approach to suit your life and make sure you are getting the most out of the materials.

While there is no deadline to start or finish, many of our students (and now grads!) set a goal to complete one chapter of Cert materials per week. That’s about 3–5 hours per week to get through:

There are 20 chapters in the textbook, so including all the exams, you’ll become a Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Specialist in about 4–5 months.

The best part? Every chapter of our textbook gives you tools you can use right away. So if you can’t get through a whole chapter in one week, don’t sweat it. You’ll already be reaping the benefits of your investment.

No prerequisites needed here! Our Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification is for any current or aspiring forward-thinking professional who wants to have a bigger and deeper impact on women's lives.

In fact, our students and graduates include personal trainers, strength or nutrition coaches, group fitness instructors, physios and rehab professionals, Pilates and yoga instructors, mental health professionals, medical doctors, sport coaches, registered dietitians, nurses, midwives, doulas, massage therapists…

...as well as fitness enthusiasts, new parents, and people looking to change careers or build a business.

So what brings together this diverse group of people from different backgrounds?

A deep desire to create a better world for women by giving them the compassion, care, and coaching they deserve.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been coaching for years, this Certification will help you keep women (or yourself) safe, healthy, and strong during and after pregnancy — so you can do rewarding work that positively impacts women’s lives.

There’s a massive gap in comprehensive pre- and postnatal education resources available for health and fitness professionals — which is surprising, considering that more than 85% of women will have children at some point in their lives.

That means almost 9 out of 10 women will either become pregnant, are pregnant, or are postpartum. Most female clients will go through these life stages looking for support, yet very few professionals know how to coach them well.

This is where you come in. Becoming GGS Certified is your big opportunity to help women in need while setting yourself apart from other professionals in the industry.

When you become a GGS Certified Pre- & Postnatal Coach, you’ll become the go-to expert for working with women — and you’ll have the skills and knowledge you need to safely and effectively coach women at every stage of pregnancy and postpartum.

As your reputation for being the go-to pre- and postnatal professional grows, you’ll continue to build a rewarding business, career, and life you love through helping women.

And along the way, you’ll find that you have a thriving business that provides...

... more money to support your family…

... more time to spend with your friends and loved ones…

... and more flexibility in your schedule for the things you enjoy, so you can get the most out of life every single day.
