What You Get
ENROLL TODAYSTUDENT TESTIMONIALS 💖
"Thank you so much for all of the knowledge and clinical guidance from the Institute for Pelvic Health in their amazing program. "Learning this has 100% impacted my clinical practice - such a sigh of relief for a patient to finally have an alternative solution than another negative culture and being sent home". These assessment and patient counseling tools will without a doubt have a lasting impression on myself and my patients for years to come. I just took a new job working with patients with recurrent vaginal infections and pelvic floor dysfunction. I honestly would not have ever considered this if it weren’t for all the great information I learned in Beyond the Kegel."
Cassie Romano, WHNP
"I’m an FNP in Alabama working in an OBGYN office. My nursing career has been mainly postpartum and NB nursery. I have always had a passion for helping patients with pelvic floor dysfunctions from professional and personal experiences. I have even reached out to many programs but there have been no perfect solutions for FNPs because they are geared towards PTs. But YOU are my solution. I am the only NP in my practice and we only have one pelvic floor PT in our county and they do not do internal exams.. I am helping my rural and underserved community!"
