So you’re looking at 2 – 3 hours a week depending on whether we have a module released that week and how long the teaching call(s) last for.
Due to the hecticness of the holiday season, calls will be reduced in December and new modules will not be released in January to allow you time to catch up on the content post-holiday season.
The program will start the last week of September with a kickoff call on Wednesday, October 4th at 3 PM ET.
Calls will be held weekly on Wednesdays at either 12 PM EST or 3 PM EST (New York Time), with additional calls occasionally on Thursdays at either 12 PM EST or 4 PM EST. The call schedule will be released once you sign up for the program.

It will be important for you to watch the replays within 24 hours of the live call time so you can stay up to date and involved in the content, and engage in the Facebook group.
Yes! The Institute for Menstrual Health’s Women’s Hormone Health Certification program participants (IMH-C) are highly trained and tested. Being certified in Women’s Hormone Health sets you apart from your colleagues and makes you more marketable in the industry.
Certification in the program ensures your clients that you have the skills-based training to focus on women’s hormone health and apply evidence-based skills in practice.
At the end of each module you’ll be required to take and pass a test, and then at the end of the program you will be required to complete a two-part final exam that demonstrates your comprehensive knowledge of the material taught throughout the program.
By completing the program and passing the final exam you will unlock opportunities exclusive to our certified alumni including your inclusion in the Institute for Menstrual Health’s directory of trained and certified women’s hormonal health experts, the opportunity to apply to be a guest on Nicole’s podcast The Period Party, exclusive continuing education opportunities for alumni and so much more.
Certification also allows you to proudly display your IMH-C credential on your website, email, social media platforms, office and marketing materials as well as a link to the IMH-C certification badge for your website or social media profile.
The program is not currently affiliated with any governing body or association for CEU credits.
This is a knowledge-based certification which is not accredited with any specific institutions or entities, however, depending on where you’re looking to obtain certification or credits from, you may be able to use our course curriculum to apply for accreditation within your institute/association.
In a case like this, you’ll likely have to fill out and submit some forms, along with the course curriculum, and a letter from the program signing off on your completion which we would be more than happy to provide. So this may be an option for you!
There are no specific training prerequisites for this certification program. However, Nicole recommends that you have either completed a training program or are in the process of completing a training program like a health coach certification, nutrition certification or something related to health and wellness. We’ll consider unique circumstances on an individual basis, so don’t be deterred!
In the past we’ve had multiple people share the concern that they don’t have a science background, so they’re not sure if they should even apply but I’ve designed the program to meet everyone where they’re at. I teach you the basic stuff all the way to the complex stuff so that you can take what resonates and leave the rest for now.
You’ll have access to the program’s content on an ongoing basis so you can absolutely refer back to it as you progress in your business and your education.
Don’t let your fears deter you. Nicole created this program for precisely that reason – so you can put your fears aside and move forward with your dreams.
I am so confident in my program and your success! If you are all in and fully participate in the certification, you will be able to achieve your goals of creating a life and business you are truly proud of. As such, I do not currently offer refunds on this program. I offer group consultations during the enrollment period along with a live Q&A for you to get to know me and get all of your questions answered. I want each person who enrolls in the program to be enthusiastic, eager, and a heck yes! Most importantly, I want each enrollee to be ready to change their lives and businesses.
What is the difference between this program and the Integrative Women’s Health Institute program?
There are quite a few differences between the IWHI Health Coaching Certification Program and the Women’s Hormone Health Certification program. The first is that IWHI’s program is a health coaching certification, whereas this program is a knowledge-based certification program. If you’re looking for a coaching certification, then the IWHI Health Coaching Certification program would be it. If you’re looking for in-depth information and teachings on women’s hormonal health, then the Women’s Hormone Health Certification program may be a better option.
This program is structured differently with a major focus on menstrual and hormonal health. Due to the nature of the content there is some overlap, but generally speaking, this is an up to date, science backed program that will be a deep dive into women’s hormone health and menstrual cycles. There is also a business building and mindset component led by various hand picked experts to help you jumpstart or up-level your business, wherever you are on your journey.
What is the difference between this program and Nicole’s IIN program?
There are quite a few differences between the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program and the program through IIN. The main difference is that this program is run live over the course of seven months where you’ll be able to connect with fellow program participants, work collaboratively to build your confidence and motivation and tap into all of Nicole’s and the guest expert teachers’ knowledge LIVE!
The IIN program was written in 2016 and we’re not sure how much it has been updated. This program is completely up to date from a scientific perspective and is structured completely differently with a major focus on menstrual and hormonal health. Due to the nature of the content there is some overlap, but generally speaking, this is an up to date, science backed program that will be a deep dive into women’s hormone health!
