As a professional in the field, you're intensely aware of the rising tide of postpartum health challenges.
- Overmedication is rampant.
- Mental health struggles are widespread.
- Autoimmune diseases are surging.
- Nutrient deficiencies are a major concern (and are leading to increases in maternal mental health issues and autoimmune diseases)
You know that nutrition is the missing link in true postpartum recovery & healing...
...And you know it goes beyond "salads and smoothies."
The Truth Is:
Your clients have questions.
They are ready to heal and just want to feel better.
They want to know about their postpartum bodies, brains and gut health. They are sick of treating their symptoms. And they have questions, concerns and want holistic support.
And we all believe they deserve the best care possible during this transformational postpartum period.
And they are looking to YOU for the answers.
Wouldn't It Feel Empowering to:
Be able to more confidently guide them through this critical time, achieving better outcomes for your clients – all while saving yourself additional years of independent study?
The PNC was created for providers & professionals like YOU who are ready to:
- Develop a deeper more comprehensive, scientific, energetic & cultural understanding of postpartum physiology & functional nutrition
- Be handed a simple, practical & easy to implement framework so you can stop trying to piece together the science & research on your own.
- Deepen your own confidence and your clients’ trust by providing more specialized & custom care that addresses the unique needs of your postpartum clients
- Elevate & expand your practice, expertise & credibility so you can attract more clients and become the go-to expert in your community and industry.
Here's how the Postpartum Nutrition Certification is changing the lives (and businesses) of our graduates AND their clients:
"I was a healer before this program with a lot of drive and love for my clients but I didn't realize how much knowledge I was missing. This [PNC] program took my business and my confidence to a much greater level."
- Amanda Willson, Functional Nutritionist/Reiki & Pilates Specialist
"The postpartum certification training has allowed me to get a better grip on what specific foods are supportive and what nutrients to focus on. It was amazing to learn from someone who has put all the valuable information nicely together. I can offer the core of it to my clients with trust."
Vanessa De Smet, Sexological Bodywork / Somatic Sex Educator
"I own a product based business providing lactation support products, I initially signed up for this course to give me the opportunity to learn credible information to share with my customers around improving nutrition. However, this course has given me so much food for thought about ways I can actually tie in the Postpartum Nutrition Plan with my products, giving it a great service to add a lot of value to the mothers I am marketing to."
Kelly Northey, Owner of Yummy Mummy Food Co.
"I am able to educate clients in more depth and assist them with their journey into motherhood & postpartum stages. The Postpartum Nutrition Plan has been a major tool in understanding focus of everything starts with gut health. I am able to formulate and prepare specific needs to each individual. I have way more confidence in educating and executing action plans with my clients. I recommend this course to everyone! The more knowledgeable we are as professionals the more we can serve and assist others.

🡆 🡆 🡆 As a mom of four who naturally healed from postpartum depression, anxiety, postpartum bi-polar, rage, and an autoimmune diagnosis…AND as a postpartum professional working with clients for 15 years …I get it
I personally understand the challenges women face after having a baby AND the challenges as a professional trying to navigate the overwhelming amount of research & conflicting advice.
After sifting through endless research of my own, I wanted to provide others with an easier path which led me to founding Postpartum University.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Unlike other schools & programs that cover general nutrition, Postpartum University is the ONLY school that focuses exclusively on advanced POSTPARTUM education and the unique needs of the postpartum period.
🡆 Because we know that the physiological changes in postpartum moms is significant and that functional nutrition is key to addressing postpartum challenges like mental health struggles, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues and more.
I’ve distilled years of experience and the latest science into a comprehensive program that allows you to:
✔ Gain the necessary research, knowledge & practical tools you need right at your fingertips without spending years of research & 10s of thousands of dollars trying to figure it out on your own.
✔ Provide personalized root cause care & develop personalized nutrition plans that address the unique needs of each mother (taking into consideration hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut health & more).
✔ Grow your thriving practice and differentiate yourself as a sought-after expert in postpartum nutrition.
"Maranda's style is accessible and engaging, and I loved the way that she backed up her knowledge with solid research.
The icing on the cake was receiving a copy of her fantastic 'Postpartum Nutrition Plan' which I will use regularly to support my clients in their homes so that they feel truly nourished and nurtured. Thanks again, Maranda, I feel so grateful for your wisdom and expertise."
- JOJO HOGAN, Maternal Postpartum Care Specialist
"Maranda has a knowledge about postpartum nutrition that is unsurpassed. As an herbalist I know that food and herbs are medicine and are vital in healing but after I became a doula...
I realized there was so little information on food in postpartum. What Maranda is teaching is vital knowledge for any doula or professional dealing with postpartum women. The Postpartum Nutrition Plan should be standard "going home" material with every woman who leaves a hospital with a baby (just like formula samples and blankets). This was an investment that will benefit my clients for years to come."
- STEFANIE FARIO, Herbalist, Certified Birth & Certified Postpartum Doula
"I loved the whole content, it's packed with up to date information, very practical and relatable.
Also Maranda is very clear and easy to understand (as English is not my first language). I would recommend this training to anyone working with mothers in the childbearing years and beyond. Thank you Maranda, you are such an inspiration and I will be always grateful for your work and for this opportunity to learn from you."
- KIM DEWEY, Postpartum Doula, Childcare specialist, Certified Yoga Teacher
"Maranda Bower is an absolute delight! Her vast knowledge, along with dedication to science and research makes this course invaluable for anyone serving clients in the postpartum period.
She manages to synthesize a huge amount of complex information into easy to understand bites. I am so grateful to have found this course and highly recommend it to anyone wishing to deepen their insights into postpartum healing."
