Course Description:
Women’s health is a vast topic that can be confusing and overwhelming. There is a glut of information. However, much of it is conflicting. Compounding this is the fact that research in women’s health is underfunded (according to the NIH) and doctors tend to dissect you into a collection of your parts, rather than seeing you as a whole person. It can be downright frustrating to get to the root causes of your symptoms and imbalances so that you can actually begin to feel better. In this 12-week course, you will learn to listen to and interpret your body’s messages, understand yourself and your relationship to nature, and discover the root causes of your imbalances and how to address them so that you can feel better in your body, and live a more empowered, nourished, and fulfilled life.
