Student Success Stories
Our students share how getting certified with Oh Baby to holistically support mothers and babies has impacted their lives, families, clients, and careers.
“I am asked a lot where I studied baby and postpartum nutrition, and I am proud to say it was through the Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition, which is the only school that specializes exclusively in holistic health for pregnancy, postpartum, and babies.
I was already a midwife and registered nurse, so didn’t really want to do another degree, but I personally found the course so helpful to expand my knowledge in a more holistic way and to deepen my expertise and advice I could offer - such as help with starting solids and first foods for babies with a strong focus on gut-support, how to help a new mother through pregnancy and postpartum through nutrition advice and helping with common ailments through practical holistic therapies.
The courses are very self-paced and completely online, which meant that I actually did the majority of my studies in our caravan traveling Australia! It was great because I could study when I wanted to and wasn't too sleep deprived, but could have time off when life was busy, or I was tired or didn't have internet.”

Review of Oh Baby Nutrition
“Are you interested in nurturing mothers during pregnancy and postpartum? Or supporting parents as they introduce solids to their baby? If so, look no further than Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition.
As a recent graduate, this program changed my life—not only as a mother, but as a career woman and entrepreneur. Through my credentials, I help mothers and caretakers as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and nourishing their babies.”

“While already working as a midwife, holistic care was always very important to me. When I moved to another country and became a Mom myself, I took the opportunity to get further education in this field.
To be honest, I was not 100% sure how much I would still learn from this course since I felt I already know a lot about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and babies... But OMG...I learned SOOOO much!! And it just felt amazing to be part of a community that is not only like-minded but also evidence-based.
I'm beyond thankful I did the Master certification and can't wait to support families all around the globe with my gained knowledge. So if you are not sure whether or not you should sign up, just do it, if not for your business, then just for you and your family, you won't regret it!”

“I was skeptical about taking an online course. I generally enjoy the physical and social aspects of a traditional classroom setting - but I feel a seamless transition to the new modern way and am pleasantly surprised by the flow and ease of the platform.”

Review of Oh Baby Nutrition
“When I started my daughter was 5 months old. I did nearly every module with her asleep in a carrier, I paced myself, gave myself space to enjoy this course, and at no stage did I feel “behind” or that I was rushed. I say this because chances are you are a mama too.
I adore, love and value everything about this course, what it has to offer, and the knowledge I gained so much”

“I joined Oh Baby after I had graduated as a Holistic Nutritionist and knew that I needed and wanted to gain much more knowledge about supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum.
I found the self-paced style really worked for me as I have a full-time job. Some weeks I could do more, some weeks less, and other weeks when I felt too overwhelmed or busy with life, I knew I could take a break.
I am so impressed by how well the information is laid out and even more impressed with how relevant and useful the assignments are. I honestly just feel so prepared now. I feel confident working with women in their most vulnerable and important times; working with women during pregnancy and postpartum is such a responsibility, but I feel so ready to do so now.
I would recommend this course 110% without hesitation. It has been a great experience; it does require commitment and hard work, but when you love what you do, the hard work is easy.”

“When I graduated as a Naturopath I looked for a course like this and there was nothing to be found. Finding this course has been just what I was looking for. Such a beautiful community and incredibly valuable content each week.
I would 100% recommend this course.”

Review of Oh Baby Nutrition
“Despite providing invaluable information, I think the thing I have loved most about Oh Baby is the ability to become qualified in a new field without any feelings of stress and overwhelm. It is so incredible to be studying through an academy that embraces and supports motherhood and everything that goes along with it. To be able to sit and breastfeed or wrestle your toddler while taking part in the zoom calls and to jump online and chip away bit by bit when motherhood and life permits. This course has been designed for mothers by a mother and that is so evident through every part of the course.”

“As a new mother, Google is so unreliable when it comes to finding out how to truly nourish yourself postpartum. I wanted to better serve my community and contribute to black maternal health in the postpartum phase.
Finding Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition has been the best. I love the curriculum and the fact that the team truly wants to see you win! I couldn't recommend a better program, as it's much more niche than other programs. Thank you, Carley and the Oh Baby Team for being so amazing!”

“I am incredibly thankful for this course and so happy to be a part of this group. Before joining Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition, I was lost and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Now I am so excited about my career helping new mothers. I also have a baby boy due in November, and these courses have helped me through my journey into motherhood. I'm excited to be able to make a difference for anyone I can.”

Review of Oh Baby Nutrition
“I was already a certified Integrative Health & Nutrition Coach, but I was lacking the structured knowledge to thoroughly support women during pregnancy and postpartum. So I joined Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition which was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My experience as a student was great - the curriculum was thorough and well organized, the support was prompt and extremely useful every time, the community was there and it felt nice to chat with so many like-minded women.
During the same time, I launched Womb Nutrition, whose purpose is to support women into motherhood and beyond and families on their journey to starting solids and raising nourished little eaters. So both my life and my business were greatly impacted because approximately one year later I decided to quit my corporate job and dedicate myself to Womb Nutrition. I now have a toddler and I'm expecting my second baby - being able to manage my own time is priceless.
I have already recommended the program to everyone who's shown interest so far. And honestly, I have plenty of reasons to do so. Carley and the team are extremely professional and that's something I highly appreciated throughout the course and as alumni.”

“I joined Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition because I wanted to learn more about pregnancy, postnatal, and kids nutrition. The more I have learned with Oh Baby, the more passionate I have become about these subjects. It's a learn-at-your-own-pace course, the assignments are interesting, and the feedback is so valuable.
The Oh Baby team puts a lot of effort into making sure you are fully accountable and understand the curriculum. Being in Australia wasn't a disadvantage — there are discussion boards, resources for questions, and a Facebook group if I was ever unclear or wanted something covered.
I would highly recommend this certification to anyone who wants to educate with up-to-date, evidence-based information that will help families build a great relationship with food and nourish little bodies!”

“I’m so grateful to have been given the tools to customize a program for women based on what they are going through. I love that it is not just about the food but also all the other ways to care for a woman and the countless ailments that can arise in pregnancy and postpartum. The women I have helped, thus far, have given such positive feedback. I know that so many women would benefit from this education.”

“ Studying through Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition was a totally different way of gaining knowledge. As someone who already enjoys learning, I was amazed at how addictive this course was.
I was completely enthralled by the truly specialized content that was available to us. I feel I have gained such an incredible asset to be able to serve people at such a crucial and important time of their lives.
All thanks to Oh Baby, I was able to gain substantial knowledge whilst being totally and utterly supported by a strong group of women that were there every step of the way. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has thought about changing to a very fulfilling career and becoming a Certified Nutrition Consultant.”
