As a healthcare professional in the field of prenatal care, you recognize the importance of good nutrition during pregnancy.  You also know that moderate exercise can help pregnant moms feel their best and maintain a positive outlook.  However, in reality, too few moms seek out nutrition and wellness information during their pregnancies, and providing one-on-one counseling during regular appointments would be time-consuming and costly.  What if you could provide nutrition education to large groups of moms at one time, through a tool designed by a well-known, renowned doctor?

Dr. William Sears, along with exercise physiologist Sean Foy, have created a series of interactive, clinically proven workshops to help families embrace four pillars of health: Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition.  Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. workshops provide simple, easy-to-implement tools for making nutrition education fun and engaging.  This proven approach provides participants with all the tools necessary for sustaining health and wellness. In addition, the readily-available materials are simple and easy for participants to understand, from expectant and nursing moms, to parents and their children.

Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Workshops Will Help You:

•    Educate large groups of moms at one time, which is more cost-effective that one-on-one consultations
•    Introduce exercise as a tool for physical, emotional, and metal self-care
•    Maintain clients for subsequent pregnancies
•    Provide holistic care without having to create your own program
•    Preserve the health of your patients and their babies by teaching them simple ways to live a healthy lifestyle—during pregnancy and beyond
