“Ayla and Lily’s webinars and teachings are filling a void in the nutrition curriculum. This is such a great course. Every webinar is packed not only with evidence based information, but also with practical takeaways you can use with clients immediately.”

“If you work with women at all in your current practice I recommend the WHNA. It fills such an important gap in the education of dietitians and patient care for women. I honestly don’t know how I served my population of women prior to getting the solid evidence based info from WHNA with great clinical pearls to take and apply with my client immediately. I look forward future courses!”

“I just want to say how much I appreciate the Women’s Health Nutrition Academy. I am currently a labor and delivery nurse and in grad school to become a nurse midwife. I LOVE the resources you provide! I am very passionate about preventative health and the power of nutrition to correct the disease process. I can’t wait to implement everything I have learned from your webinars in my future midwifery practice. Thank you for providing such amazing evidence based education! Please keep it coming!”

“I’m so grateful that Lily and Ayla have made all of these trainings available to us! I found the Vitamin D & Pregnancy webinar specifically very eye opening. Most of us know vitamin D is really important but to understand its role in the context of fertility, pregnancy and postnatally is another thing altogether. With evidence based research, this webinar unpacks how optimal levels of D could literally impact and change a woman’s birthing experience and postpartum recovery. This type of knowledge is too precious to keep to yourself and provides a wonderful foundation for practitioners to better guide their clients on vitamin D supplementation..”

Why WHNA?

Women’s Health Nutrition Academy all started with a conversation. Lily and Ayla were venting about their frustrations surrounding the lack of quality—and engaging—continuing education opportunities in women’s health. Those that were available were in-person conferences that required expensive travel and time away from business and life. Essentially, we wanted to create learning opportunities that would be a) evidence-based b) affordable and c) easy-to-access, especially for working mamas and business owners.

Women’s Health Nutrition Academy would address all these issues—and allow us to address the endless stream of questions we get from fellow practitioners who take a functional nutrition and real food approach to nutrition practice.

Who our courses are for: Our in-depth and evidence-based courses are targeted to healthcare professionals — dietitians/nutritionists, midwives, doulas, and any other healthcare practitioners that offer services for women’s health (such as fertility and preconception planning, prenatal care, postpartum support, and beyond). Reference lists for presentations, if applicable, are provided.

That said, ALL are welcome to attend our webinars—whether or not you’re a healthcare provider.
