The Pregnancy Loss & Trauma informed Specialist Certification
 Specialist pregnancy loss training for loss mums and practitioners, so you can support women through loss with real confidence and evidence behind you.
The certification for loss mums ready to do this work professionally.
Â
Your loss showed you exactly what's missing in pregnancy loss care.
Now get trained to fix it.
Â
No clinical background or prior qualification needed.
 In 2017 I lost a pregnancy and saw firsthand how little care exists for women after one. I decided to stop waiting for the system to change and built the training I wish had existed.
85% of women in peer-reviewed research across six countries received no professional referral after pregnancy loss. If you were one of them, you already know what that silence costs, and you've probably asked yourself whether you're allowed to do something about it without a clinical degree.
You are. The women who need you can't wait for you to feel ready, and I didn't wait either.
Reproductive loss is neurologically complex and biologically specific, and in reproductive loss the threat is the deeply desired thing itself. Empathy alone can't carry her through that. Through the six-pillar Loss Care Continuum, you'll learn the full arc of her experience, from the loss through to pregnancy after loss, and step into the room as the specialist she's been searching for.

Â
A CPD certification for midwives, psychologists, counsellors, nurses and allied health practitioners. It builds specialist depth within the scope of practice you already hold.Â
You’ve had a woman in front of you after a loss and known she needed more than your training gave you. The research backs what you’ve seen: across six countries, 85% of women received no professional referral after pregnancy loss, and the care that does happen is split between professions that rarely talk to each other.
This certification gives you a clinical framework for the whole picture. The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method is built on six neuroscience-informed pillars: Emotional Literacy, Identity Reconnection, Neuroscience & Interoceptive Foundations, Nervous System Optimisation, Neuro-Reprogramming and Trauma-Informed Processing.
Together they cover the whole journey, from the loss and the postpartum period nobody names, through nervous system dysregulation and hormonal aftermath, to fertility and pregnancy after loss. You’ll recognise what’s happening at each stage, respond with confidence inside your scope, and know when to refer on.
Every module is grounded in peer-reviewed evidence, including my white paper The Missing Piece in Pregnancy Loss Care, so what you bring back to your practice will stand up to scrutiny from your colleagues and your governing body. Your CPD hours are logged as you go, so the specialist depth you build shows up on your professional record too.
See the curriculumThe Pregnancy Loss & Trauma Informed Specialist Certification
Where specialised training meets transformative impact.
This isn't just another certification.
It's 6 months of complete transformation in how you support bereaved mothers.
I'm giving you the specialised, proven methodology that will transform you from practitioner or bereaved mum with empathy to recognised expert in reproductive trauma support.
"In just 6 months, here's what you can expect."
Recognised Authority in Reproductive Trauma
You'll become the go-to specialist in pregnancy loss support — the practitioner bereaved mothers and other professionals seek out because you understand what this loss actually does to a woman. Your depth of knowledge in reproductive trauma, neuroscience, and trauma-informed care will set you apart in an industry that's still treating pregnancy loss as general grief. This is the expertise the field is missing — and you'll be leading the way.
You'll be recognised as the specialist who transforms how pregnancy loss is understood and supported, in rooms you've only dreamed about, connecting with people who recognise you as the specialist bereaved mothers need.
Confidence to Back Yourself & Your Work with a Proven Method
The first time a client tells you about her loss and you know exactly what to do next, something shifts in you. I've watched it happen with the women I've trained in the USA, the UK, Croatia and Australia. The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method gives you an evidence-based map of her whole journey, so you can stop second-guessing yourself in the room and make clear calls you can stand behind, right down to when to refer her on. It will stretch you, and you'll come out the other side backing yourself and your work, ready to put your name to the kind of pregnancy loss care you know women deserve.
Specialised Practitioner Network
You're not just getting training — you're joining a network of specialised practitioners who'll challenge you, support you, open new opportunities, and make sure you never feel isolated in this work again. This is your community of practitioners who understand reproductive trauma and are building the support system that should have existed all along.
This certification isn't just about professional growth — it's about becoming the practitioner who transforms how pregnancy loss is supported, and building a legacy that lasts.
You are already in this work
Perhaps informally. Perhaps professionally. But you are already holding space for women navigating reproductive loss, and you are aware that something deeper is required.
To simply hold space no longer feels like enough.
You are looking for training that meets the complexity of what these women are actually experiencing.
Language and structure that allow you to show up with confidence and integrity.
A professional identity that reflects the seriousness of the work you feel called to do.
And you want to stand alongside practitioners who understand the responsibility this field carries. Women committed to refining their practice, deepening their knowledge, and raising the standard of care available to bereaved mothers.
Â
You are not here simply to empathise.
You are here to specialise.
To become the practitioner bereaved mothers have been searching for, in their country, their community, their corner of the world.
If you are reading this, you have likely already recognised that this is your path.
This certification is where you walk it — with clarity, structure, and the professional formation this work deserves.

The 6 Pillars of the Certification
A holistic method that addresses pregnancy loss at every level — emotional, cognitive, somatic and neurological — not just one piece of it.
A mastery-based journey: you begin at Pillar 1, and each pillar builds on the one before it.
Emotional Literacy
Name what's happening in your body, not just your mind. Your brain needs language for states and sensations. Because grief lives in the body, not just thoughts.
Identity Reconnection
Stabilise your sense of self. Loss can affect identity, body trust and how someone approaches future reproductive decisions. This addresses the "Am I a mother?" question no one else knows how to hold.
Neuroscience & Interoceptive Foundations
Understand what happened neurologically. Restore your ability to sense your body — you can't regulate what you can't feel. This is the missing piece in traditional grief support: the body's disconnect from itself.
Nervous System Optimisation
This is where restoration begins. When your nervous system shifts from "threat" to "safe," everything else can come back online — your ability to function at work, connect in relationships, and feel present in your life again.
Neuro-Reprogramming
Explore fear, learned associations and responses that may arise when considering pregnancy again. Create new patterns around fertility and hope. This addresses the terror of trying again that no one talks about.
Trauma-Informed Processing
Support emotional, cognitive and body-based experiences through an integrated approach — not just "processing emotions," but working with the whole picture at once.
The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method brings these six pillars together as one framework.
Not six separate techniques to apply in isolation, but a single, integrated way of understanding and supporting a woman through reproductive loss — emotionally, cognitively, somatically and neurologically, all at once.
Business Foundations
Turn your passion into practice — learn how to ethically and sustainably grow your client base, position your message, and build a trauma-informed business from the ground up.
"Why a whole-person approach matters."
Because reproductive loss doesn't happen in isolation.
Pregnancy loss can affect far more than the moment of loss itself.
It can shape how a woman experiences her body, relationships, identity, future reproductive decisions and pregnancy after loss. Yet support is often divided between different professionals, services and stages of care.
This certification teaches you to see the connections.
To understand the woman beyond the event. To recognise what she may carry forward. And to provide informed, compassionate support that respects her individual experience and the wider care she may need.

What's Possible With This Certification
Whether you're already working with clients or just beginning to imagine this as your work, here's what graduates build with it.
Add a recognised specialism to the work you already do
- âś“Become the specialist your colleagues and clinic refer bereaved mothers to, instead of general grief support
- âś“Add a CPD-recognised credential that deepens your scope as a midwife, nurse, counsellor, doula, psychologist or birth worker
- âś“Close the gap between clinical care and the emotional, somatic and identity support your clients still need
- ✓Build a private offering — 1:1 sessions, groups or workshops — alongside your existing clinical role
- âś“Lead in a field with few genuine specialists, rather than competing inside general grief or fertility services
Turn your own experience into an ethical, credentialed practice
- âś“Transform lived experience of pregnancy loss into a structured, trauma-informed way of supporting others

- âś“Enter the field with professional boundaries clear from day one, knowing when to support and when to refer
- âś“Join a network of practitioners and an ongoing membership, so you're never building this in isolation
Don't Just Learn a Method. Develop Your Own.
Your education doesn't end with understanding the six pillars.
During a dedicated five-week programme-development experience, you'll receive guidance to uncover the approach you want to bring into your own work. Together, we'll explore who you're supporting, the transitions you want to help them navigate, and how to structure a programme that reflects your strengths, values and professional scope.
Because your goal isn't simply to finish a certification. It's to know how to take what you've learned and build something meaningful with it.
I've trained women in the USA, the UK, Croatia and Australia, and each one has gone home as the specialist the bereaved mothers in her community were missing.
When you certify, you join them in building the global standard for reproductive loss and trauma leadership.
Does this sound like you?
If you're a loss mum
Your loss showed you exactly what was missing, and you know you're meant to do something with what you went through. You've looked at the clinicians around you and asked yourself whether you're allowed to do this work without their qualifications. You are. The women coming after you need you to start before you feel ready, the same way I did.Â
If you're a clinician or practitioner
Pregnancy loss comes up in your caseload far more often than your training allowed for. Miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons and pregnancy after loss show up in midwifery, psychology, counselling and birth work every week, usually with no specialist pathway behind them.
You want an evidence base you can stand behind with your colleagues. You also want a framework that maps what's happening in her nervous system and hormones in the months after a loss, including where your role ends and referral begins. This certification adds that specialist depth to the scope you already hold, with CPD logged as you go, so you become the practitioner your colleagues refer these women to.
Wherever you're starting from, the Loss Care Continuum gives you the evidence-based framework to become the pregnancy loss specialist bereaved mothers are searching for.
Yes this is meThe next level of pregnancy loss support isn't about working harder or doing more.
It's about stepping into a completely new paradigm of specialised reproductive trauma care!
The real transformation happens when you:
Stop adapting general grief methods and start using proven pregnancy loss frameworks
Move from compassionate supporter to the specialist
Transform from practitioner with empathy to practitioner with methodology
Evolve from someone who's been through it to the authority bereaved mothers seek out
And truly filling the gap that exists in pregnancy loss support.
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
Let's be honest - this certification isn't for everyone, and that's intentional.
This is NOT for you if:
- You're still figuring out whether pregnancy loss support is your calling (this is for practitioners who already know)
- You're looking for surface-level information you could piece together yourself (this is trauma-informed methodology grounded in neuroscience)
- You want to stay comfortable and unchallenged in how you approach this work
- You're not ready to be known as the pregnancy loss specialist (which means being visible and sought after)
- You're waiting until you feel "fully healed" or "completely ready" before you begin (healing isn't linear, and readiness is built through doing)
But if you've already decided pregnancy loss support is your path and you need the frameworks to do it with integrity?
If you're ready to become the practitioner who understands what pregnancy loss actually does to a woman—and how to guide her through it?
Then this certification is for you.

Who won't let you feel isolated in this calling.

These professionals also then become YOUR network contacts
Lifetime access to: The Complete Certification Curriculum & Resources
Access to comprehensive practitioner resources—frameworks, client session guides, intake templates, and structured tools that give you everything you need to support bereaved mothers professionally.
This is the methodology translated into practical application. You're not figuring out "how to do this" on your own—you're getting the proven structure that works.
Hey, I'm Sharna.
I'm committed to transforming how pregnancy loss is understood and supported. Not just creating awareness, but building the specialised frameworks that bereaved mothers and practitioners have been missing.
As a trauma-informed coach currently completing Neuroscience certification, I understand what pregnancy loss does to a woman—neurologically, hormonally, psychologically, and relationally.
But here's the real story—I started here because of my own pregnancy loss in 2017. I searched for support that understood the specificity of this loss, and I couldn't find it. So I built it.
I've now sat with hundreds of bereaved mothers. I've listened to what they actually need—not what the system assumes they need. And I've trained practitioners all over the world in The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method™.
I bring lived experience AND specialised education. Embodied wisdom AND proven methodology. I understand this work from the inside—and I know how to teach it.
This isn't surface-level grief support. This isn't basic information you could piece together yourself. This is trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed, practitioner-tested methodology.
I see your potential to become the specialist this field desperately needs. And I'm here to give you the frameworks to do it with integrity.
Ready to transform how pregnancy loss is held and become the practitioner bereaved mothers have been searching for?
Most practitioners I've trained end up transforming how pregnancy loss is supported in their communities—building a legacy beyond just their practice or income.
Â
Specialised knowledge compounds. The more deeply you understand what pregnancy loss does to a woman, the more effectively you can support her—and the more your practice grows from that integrity.
The methodology you learn, the expertise you build... this becomes part of who you are as a practitioner.
And this is absolutely possible for you.
Rochelle went from 12+ months of circling to launching her complete 6-week Phoenix Program
From scattered ideas, money blocks, and no clear direction to a fully structured intensive program for bereaved mothers—built around her life with her newborn, her lived experience of pregnancy and infant loss, and the frameworks that actually work.
She stopped researching. She got clear. She launched.
"My insides were like a resounding hell yes. Everything I wanted to do with pregnancy and infant loss advocacy has come together now. It was disjointed before, but now it's fluid and I'm comfortable and excited. If you've got that feeling—find a way to do it." ~ Rochelle
Carrie completed the Pregnancy Loss Practitioner Certification and equipped herself with the neurological and trauma-informed frameworks to become a specialised counselor
From wanting to work with pregnancy and infant loss but not having the specialised knowledge, to completing comprehensive training in reproductive trauma neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and soul-centered support—giving her the tools she needs to serve this population with depth and integrity.
She gained clarity on her path, mended relationships through the spiritual work, and stepped into her determination to make this her life's work.
"The program was extremely eye-opening and very deep. It taught me things I never even thought of before—the neurological study, how our brain is so strongly connected to our emotions after traumatic events. One thing that really struck me: 'In order to step into your soul's purpose, you have to let go of your ego's purpose.' I literally felt it. I'm so thankful and humbled to have been able to engage in something so life-altering, not just for me, but for others around me." ~ Carrie
Tayla went from "Who am I to do this?" to confidently holding space for bereaved mothers with proven frameworks and unwavering purpose
From knowing she wanted to help people after losing Chase but feeling stuck with "who am I to say this?"—to completing the certification with specialised frameworks for navigating triggers, reframing thoughts, and holding space for bereaved mothers in a way that transforms lives, not just validates feelings.
She became resourceful to make it happen. She stepped into her calling. She's now the beacon of light she wished she'd had.
"I had this desire to help people, but I just didn't know how to turn that into actual support instead of just peer support. The program gave me the confidence and context to offer practical tools and solutions. I knew I needed to be in there—so I made it work. If she can survive it, I can too. And now I want to be that for somebody else. If you're on the fence—absolutely you are worthy. We need more people who can hold space for those in the depths of it." ~ Tayla
Anita went from 7 years of silent struggle to healing herself, finding her voice, and stepping into her calling with tools that transformed everything
From silently battling PTSD, depression, and anxiety after multiple losses, too scared to admit she was struggling—to completing the certification, healing trauma she didn't know she still carried, and gaining frameworks that helped her more than years of therapy.
She found her voice. She stepped into her truth. She's radiating purpose.
"I've spent thousands in therapy. I understand trauma so much more now through this course. I thought I was healed, but this changed everything—how I speak, how I show up, how I support women. I found my voice and stepped into my truth. If you're on the fence—you won't regret it." ~ Anita
Kelly went from lost and wearing a mask, unable to talk about her losses, to becoming a certified practitioner and ambassador—confidently creating the support she never had
Â
From searching online late at night for "pregnancy loss help," feeling isolated after multiple losses with no clear path forward—to completing the certification, gaining confidence to talk about her story without guilt or shame, and building masterclasses that fill the gaps she experienced.
She found value in her story. She stepped into leadership. She's now the safe place she needed.
"I came in lost, not knowing anything about how to create support. I finished the practitioner course knowing 'I can do this. I've got this.' I learned about myself, gained self-confidence, and believe in my story. The program was packed with information—grief, trauma, emotions, epigenetics, triggers. Every topic you can think of is in there. It wasn't just listening and moving on—there were journal prompts, worksheets, quizzes. I was learning about myself while learning how to assist others. If you're on the fence—ask questions. This is what changed everything for me." ~ Kelly
“This program allows you to support women at any point after their loss. Not just in their initial grief. This is so different to what other programs offer”
Â
Listen to Tijana’s experience inside the program.
Amber completed the certification and finally understood why talk therapy wasn't enough—gaining the trauma-informed lens and somatic practices that transformed both her healing and her practice
She found answers for her own healing that specialists couldn't provide. She validated her path. She stepped into confident practice.
"This certification gave me tools to address my own loss-trauma and deepen my knowledge with psychosomatic practices I'll use to guide my clients. My biggest takeaway was understanding that talk therapy doesn't appeal to the area of the brain where trauma is stored—it validates why what we do as practitioners matters. The trauma-informed lens was the missing link. I feel so much more empowered to lead sessions on this topic. For anyone considering becoming a Pregnancy Loss Practitioner, this is definitely the program to get you there!" ~ Amber Wood
WHY NOW?
There will always be another reason to delay. Another resource to review. Another moment that feels "more perfect."
But consider this...
How long have you known this work is calling you?
How many conversations have you had where you wished you had deeper frameworks to offer?
What happens if you wait another year?
Here's what's happening right now:
- 23 million miscarriages occur globally every year
- 1.9 million stillbirths
- 40 million families navigating pregnancy loss
And the vast majority can't find practitioners who understand reproductive trauma.
Every month you spend circling is another month where:
Bereaved mothers search and don't find what they need
Your methodology stays incomplete
Your calling remains unfulfilled
This specialised support continues to be missing
Your story is powerful. But it needs the neuroscience, the trauma frameworks, and the professional structure to become transformative support.
I'M READY - SHOW ME HOW
Let me be clear—this isn't surface-level information you could piece together from Google searches.
Â
This certification gives you the most comprehensive methodology for supporting bereaved mothers through reproductive trauma—not general grief.
This is not another training that gives you theory and leaves you wondering how to actually apply it with real clients.
I'm there throughout your entire journey to help you understand the neuroscience, embody the frameworks, and implement The Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method™ with confidence.
Â
"The one-on-one guidance throughout this program exceeded anything I anticipated. Having Sharna there to support me personally made all the difference."
Â
What sets this apart isn't just the methodology—it's how I help you see what you can't see yet:
- The gap between empathy and specialized trauma-informed care
- The neurological frameworks that explain what bereaved mothers are experiencing
- The sequencing that makes healing sustainable (not just momentary relief)
Â
"I wasn't expecting the hands-on mentorship that came with this certification. The personalised support completely transformed my experience."
