Training Manual – This is a required textbook. This is the main manual specific to the course. It must be completed before moving on to the other books. Some of the books’ study guide questions refer back to topics taught in the manual.

• Book #1: The Natural Pregnancy Book by Aviva Romm
• Book #2: Body into Balance by Maria Noël Groves
• Book #3: Wellness Coaching For Lasting Lifestyle Change by Michael Arloski
• Book #4: Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols

Each book has its own study guide that is posted at the bottom of the lesson page. You will download the study guide, type in your answers as you read the book, and submit the finished document on the same lesson page – just as you did with the Training Manual.
