Additionally, there are protocols for the foundational aspects of health like the gut and liver detoxification, and there are protocols for specific conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Finally, there are guest expert lecturers who deliver research-backed presentations on a variety of relevant topics.
The self-study program consists of 12 modules. Each module contains 3-6 lectures, which all include evidence-based content with links to all research studies and references cited (there are 100’s of studies that have been referenced). Nicole has spent years working with clients and observing their results and she has pored over the literature on hormones and menstrual health to create this program. She has also collaborated with a number of leading women’s health experts with various specialties to help create some of the content presented in the program.

The Women’s Hormone Health Self-Study Program is structured to be a 6-month program based on the content release schedule. However, by taking the self-study route you’re able to work at your own pace as you’ll have access to the content forever.
If you were to follow along each month as the modules are released and the call recordings are shared, you’re looking at between 5-7 hours per month.
The Women’s Hormone Health Self-Study Program is structured to be a 6-month program based on the content release schedule to help you stay on track with the program.
However, if you’d like to work through the content faster, we’re happy to set up a custom content release schedule for you if need!
No, the self-study program is not a certification.
However, participants of the self-study program will have the opportunity to upgrade the self-study program to receive their certification from the Institute for Menstrual Health.
Doing this will require that you attend two virtual teaching workshop days with Nicole and her incredible guest experts, held each spring and fall.
Please note that there is an additional fee of $500 USD for upgrading to the Certification program to cover the cost of the two virtual teaching workshop days.
If you’re someone who does better in a live setting, or is really looking to get live support as you work through the content then the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Live Group Program is probably a better fit for you.
Enrollment for this program opens each year in October, so be sure to join the waitlist for the program here to be the first to know when early enrollment for opens!
If you’re ready to get started working through the program content, then the self-study program is a great place for you! When we open enrollment for the Certification program in the fall, we’ll be sure to reach out to offer you the ability to upgrade your course at a discounted rate to join us live in the Certification program.
The program is not currently affiliated with any governing body or association for CEU credits.
This is a knowledge-based program 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.
There are a few main differences.
The first being that the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program is run live once per year starting in October. The Women’s Hormone Health Self-Study is not live and is a go-at-your-own-pace program.
The program’s content is released over 6 months to help offer you some structure and a pathway for it’s completion, but completing the self-study within 6 months is by no means a requirement.
You’ll have access to the program’s content on an ongoing basis, so whether you follow the release schedule, need 9 months to work through it all or take a year, you can work at whatever pace fits you and your lifestyle.
The second difference is that the Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program is run live with weekly calls covering a series of different topics.
In the self-study program, you’ll receive recordings of selected calls from the 2022 Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program to solidify your knowledge of the material you’ll learn as you work through the modules.
Finally, at the end of the self-study program, you will receive a certificate of completion rather than a certification from the Institute for Menstrual Health.
All of that being said, during the first month of the program, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your self-study program to obtain your certification. Doing this will require that you attend two virtual teaching workshop days with Nicole and some incredible guest expert teachers.
Please note that there is an additional fee of $500 USD for upgrading to the Certification program to cover the cost of the two virtual teaching workshop days.
The investment for the Women’s Hormone Health Self-Study Program is $2,497 USD.
There are also four payment plan options; 3 monthly payments of $847 USD, 5 monthly payments of $527 USD, 8 monthly payments of $337 USD and 12 monthly payments of $227 USD.
I am so confident in my program and your success! If you are all in and fully participate in the program, 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 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.
