FAQ
How is this different from Instagram?
Instagram gives you individual videos with no sequence. The Academy gives you the curriculum: organized by your baby’s age, with the clinical reasoning behind each technique, in the order Nicolas teaches it in practice. There is also a library of filmed masterclasses, and Nicolas personally follows the Academy members, with a monthly live session where he answers their questions directly.
Is this medical advice?
No. Fulkrum is educational. Nicolas explains the mechanics behind what your baby is experiencing and demonstrates techniques you can use at home. It is not a medical treatment or therapy and does not diagnose, treat or correct medical conditions. When symptoms are severe or persistent, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
My baby is older than 6 months, is this for me?
Yes. Courses for pregnancy, for the first six months and for months 7 to 12 are live in the Academy. You add your baby's date of birth once, and the Academy opens at your baby's stage.
Who is Nicolas Grimaldi?
Nicolas Grimaldi, pediatric osteopath, founder of Fulkrum. Nicolas has practiced as a pediatric osteopath since 2007. The Fulkrum method comes from Nicolas's clinical work with babies.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Within your first 14 days, you can request a full refund, anywhere in the world. After that, cancel anytime from your account; your access runs to the end of your paid period.

The lessons for these months are being prepared.

Live with Nicolas

A monthly live session with Nicolas. You submit your questions ahead of time and he answers them directly inside the platform. Recorded, so you keep every session.

New lessons and masterclasses are added regularly.

The clinic rhythm

A filmed clinical checkpoint each month.

The follow-up rhythm Nicolas uses in clinic, brought home. Each checkpoint is a real examination, filmed in clinic start to finish: you watch him examine a baby the same age as yours, then you place your own.

In addition to the program

Filmed masterclasses, in full.

Beyond the daily program, a growing library of filmed masterclasses. This is what an Instagram feed cannot give you: the full clinical reasoning, start to finish.

Swaddling, carrying and tongue-tie: the real mechanics of latch

I'm a former dentist from Russia. I'm 60. I never ever heard of this !! I'm speechless. You just opened my eyes on to so many issues I had in my practice and in my personal life. I can't express enough of my emotions right now. Please when can I read more? Do you know any doctor in Canada? I'm residing in Calgary. I need to spread more information on this topic. Thank you!!! ❤️🙌

Trusted by healthcare professionals.

Excellent lesson. Even basics are often overlooked. Every parent needs to know this.

Questions parents ask before joining.

Clear answers to common questions, so you can understand whether Fulkrum is right for you.

A course for the mother by birth type, and a course for the baby month by month from birth to 12 months. The Academy includes a library of filmed masterclasses and a filmed clinical checkpoint each month. All of it is accessible from your computer or from the mobile app.
On Instagram, the feed picks what you watch next. In the Academy, your baby's age picks the course, and the mother's course follows the way she gave birth. Lessons come in order, with a space for your comments, and the next stage is there when your baby reaches it. The filmed masterclasses sit beside both courses. Once a month, Nicolas answers your questions in a live session.
Yes. Courses are available up to 12 months of age, and more are in production for the months after that.
Yes. Courses for pregnancy and exercises for the baby's first 12 months are live in the Academy. The stage after 12 months is in production.
The content is designed for parents, not for people with free time. The exercises fit into what you are already doing with your baby. The live sessions are monthly. The community spaces run at your pace.
Yes. The Academy is in the members' app for iOS and Android. Everything you get on desktop, you get on mobile.

Parenting begins with foundations. Balance, strength, and connection, from the very first day.

Ready to understand your baby?

The earlier you understand what your baby is going through, the more confidently you parent. That clarity is what the Academy is built to give you, from your first day inside.
