Female Arousal, Desire, and Disorders from Function Medicine Perspective

This 3-hour online course will emphasize a functional medical perspective using the biopsychosocial model of health and illness. Participants will learn methods and techniques to assess and intervene with psycho sexual problems experienced by patients and couples around health issues in general, and sexual health issues specifically. They will also become familiar with the operating constructs of medical culture, and the critical elements involved in a successful collaborative relationship with a medical provider. Given the number of physicians who refer to competent relational sexually trained therapists, and who treat complex pelvic pain disorders, this course is critical.

Teaching for the NWIOI is Dr. Keesha Ewers, PhD, the founder of Functional Medicine and the Academy of Integrated Medicine where she offers an Integrative Medicine Health Coach Certification Program. She is a board-certified Ayurvedic medical practitioner, as well as a Doctor of Sexology, family practice ARNP, and psychotherapist.
