APPPAH's New Revised Prenatal and Perinatal Educator

(PPNE) Certificate Program

Become a Certified PPNE

This course creates a new professional who is equipped to transform the way we support and experience birth through understanding implicit memory and the science of nurture. Being a Prenatal and Perinatal Educator (PPNE) or a birth psychology informed practitioner means you understand how birth imprints are formed, how they positively or negatively influence the trajectory of a person’s development, and how you can support parents and babies to integrate these imprints in positive ways.

This course is ideal for any professional who supports fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and adults or children in need of re-patterning their earliest experiences in life.

Included in the Course Package:

• 12 MODULES founded upon the 12 Guiding Principles of Birth Psychology developed by Dr. Wendy Anne McCarty and Dr. Marti Glenn
• Over 180 Contact Hours
• Personal Mentorship from professionals practicing the principles of birth psychology
• Somatic Practices for Autonomic Nervous System Regulation

The curriculum is designed to teach dedicated health professionals, psychologists, birth workers, body workers, educators, doctors, and parents evidence-based practices, philosophies, and therapies that nurture Human Potential and optimize the healthiest trajectory for developing babies. This Educator Certificate Course addresses the current maternal-infant health care crisis, which is intimately intertwined with the rise of technocratic practices and obstetrical intervention in the birth setting, racial inequalities, intergenerational and generational trauma, and the lack of recognition of basic human rights of the (un)born, mother, and families.
