Feeling Lost and Uncertain on Your Path to Becoming a Pelvic Health OT?
It's Time to Break Free from Imposter Syndrome and Fragmented Learning - Discover the Comprehensive, Guided Journey to Confidently Treating Pelvic Health Clients in Just 4 Months
As occupational therapy practitioners, we know the importance of specializing in pelvic health to better serve our clients and advance our career.
After all, there is nothing more ADL than bowel, bladder and sexual wellness. And our biopsychosocial background leads to greater breakthroughs with our clients because we see the entire person in front us. We don't practice from a dysfunction forward perspective - we teach our clients how to be the detective of their own body and excel no matter their current limitations.
However, the current landscape of pelvic health education leaves many of us feeling lost, uncertain, and constantly questioning our readiness to take on clients.
The current options are:
- Take courses not designed for OTs (this is what I did when I got started), throw away about 50% of what you learn, and try to adapt the other 50% to the unique OT-led approach.
- Piece together other CEU courses to try and get complete coverage of everything you need to know.
This ad-hoc approach of piecing together courses and resources leads to a fragmented understanding of pelvic health, leaving you with gaps in your knowledge and a persistent fear that you're missing crucial information. This lack of structure and guidance fuels intense imposter syndrome, holding you back from confidently pursuing your passion for pelvic health.
You find yourself stuck in an endless cycle of wondering "what's next?" and doubting whether you're truly prepared to make a difference in your clients' lives. The time and energy spent navigating this uncertain path take away from your ability to focus on honing your skills and building a thriving pelvic health practice.
But what if there was a better way? A comprehensive, guided journey that eliminates the guesswork and provides you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to excel as a pelvic health OT in just 4 months?
Becoming a Level 1 Functional Pelvic Health Practitioner™ will give you this and more.
"I was so excited when I discovered Lindsey's courses, taught specifically from an OT perspective, which is what I missed when taking PT-focused pelvic floor courses.  Lindsey effortlessly presented the material in an easy to understand, and enjoyable, manner, while instilling confidence in our ability to treat pelvic health clients. Hurray for Lindsey's passionate approach and can-do attitude to OTs addressing pelvic health. I feel like I have my own personal cheerleader when I am taking her class."
- Janice Wilson, OTR/L
Let's be honest - a weekend course isn't enough...
There's a reason many feel unprepared after taking just a weekend course. Â
Learning pelvic health is already like drinking from a firehose, and without structured learning over a sustained period, it is super easy to leave frustrated and doubting your skills.
Trying to master head knowledge, translate theory into practice, and acquire hands-on skills at the same time leaves many feeling like they have 2 left hands when Monday rolls around.
I know I felt that way for many years...
I'd take the best courses in their world (truly they were great) but I always felt like something was missing.
From how the courses were taught, to the length of time I got with the instructor, to the feedback that was given to me, I would leave not feeling confident but overwhelmed with "how much I didn't know."
 I've trained over 1,500 OTs in how to specialize in Pelvic Health since 2018 but I knew something needed to change with how we taught Pelvic Health.
Â
And so I went back to the drawing board.
I started to ask myself the question "What truly needs to be taught to OTs, and in what fashion, for them to go from newbie to confident practitioner?"
What should be covered? How should it be taught? What standards should be put in place to ensure competency?
How do we ensure you gain the knowledge, retain the knowledge, and have hands-on practice demonstrating the knowledge?
After all - that's what we all want right?
Confident and compentent OTs in Pelvic Health who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get the best results for their clients.
And I found the solution to helping OTs learn Pelvic Health
Â
OTs crave a well-defined and laid out path to specializing in Pelvic Health. They want to know that what they learn is 100% rooted in the uniqueness of OT from a biopsychosocial. They want to consider the entire person in front of them - not just look at dysfunction.
I found we needed to take a step back and really look at the way OTs are taught from an adult learning perspective.
We need to focus on multi-modal learning. Things like video, case studies, infographics, and hands-ons skill development.
And...we needed there to be time. Time to learn. Time to implement. Time to practice. And time to receive feedback.
So, I decided to create the most thorough and comprehensive training for OTs learning pelvic health to take them from newbie to confident practitioner.
Expand what's normally covered in "intro" courses to make it more comprehensive
- Most intro Pelvic Health courses only cover 50% of the pelvic floor and don't include the colorectal system - but we do!
- Every time we work with the pelvic floor, we work with the nervous system. We are proud that a nervous system first approach is embedded in the fundamental curriculm. You won't find this anywhere else.
- Complete curriculum: from anatomy, to function, to client in-take, to the entire pelvic floor system - we've got you covered.
- A menu of options for the pelvic floor exam. For far too long it was taught that the internal exam was the "gold standard." You'll learn 4 different trauma-informed approaches (with scripts) to step more into the facilitator approach.
Hands-On Techniques Rooted in the Biopsychosocial
- Â Attend a 3-day in-person lab (in person space is limited and virtual is offered) that's rooted in the biopsychosocial approach.
- Walk away knowing how to confidently assess and treat your clients.
- Learn visceral techniques, uptraining, downtraining, and breath work that integrates seamlessly.
Unparalleled Support, Feedback and Skills Assessment
- We step into adult learning: support over 4 months (instead of just 2 days) so you learn the concepts, practice them, and come back with questions leading to confident mastery.
- And, you need knowledge quizzes along the way so you know exactly what areas are going well and were to work on enhancements.
- Finally, a skills based assessment so you know with confidence you've mastered the skills to start seeing clients confidently.
Lindsey was a phenomenal educator and I knew her manual lab would be exceptional (and it was!!!!). I was, initially, nervous to take this lab because I thought I’d be in a room full of pelvic health OTs that were more advanced in their career than me...but I was WRONG! All of the providers that took this course were on my level, and those that were above, were SO helpful and so great to learn from. I loved the structure of the lab, with majority actually being so hands on, with so much practice to learn from. Lisa did a phenomenal job of keeping us interested, engaged, and motivated! If you’re on OT considering taking this lab, DO IT. I walked out of this lab actually FEELING confident and knowledgeable enough to take on my FIRST pelvic floor patient.. and that is incredible for me!!!
