Herbal Medicine For Women Module 1
Vaginal Health and Maintenance
Prerequisites for this course include the Step 1 & 2 classes on Herbal Medicine for Women. This module will review herbs that are specific to a reduced sex drive. All herbs were not created equal and a woman's sex drive is individual and influenced by many things so this information is extremely important to you not only select the correct herbs to spark your fire specifically for your body.
This is a self paced course so you will be able to consume the material as soon as you enroll. To ensure that you have appropriate guidance and the ability to get feedback you will also have access to our private Facebook group so that you can interact directly with Dr. Kourtney during her weekly office hours.

A Note From Our Founder Dr. Kourtney:
I have had education in multiple disciplines in addition to my traditional Ob/Gyn background that has opened my perspective on the difference between disease "maintenance" (which unfortunately is most often delivered in the traditional medical model) and true wellness. After opening my private practice over a decade ago I pursued my national certification as a menopause specialist which opened my eyes more about the range of hormonal dysfunction that can occur in women. From that understanding I described to pursue additional training in plant based nutrition through T. Colin Campbell. After that I dug deeper by receiving education in Ayurveda in the Integrative Ayurveda Health Professionals Program at the Maharishi Ayurveda Institute which broaden my herbal knowledge. I pursued this interest more in the Foundations of Herbal Medicine course from Dr Tieraona Low Dog M.D. After all of this education I had a very good grasp in integrative and holistic health and decide to develop further skills in discovering how to approach disease patterns from a root cause approach with training from The Institute of Functional Medicine. Currently I am a member of various organizations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, North American Menopause Society, Texas Medical Association, The American Herbalist Guild and the Institute of Functional Medicine. It is this background that allows me to fully embrace the perspective that true wellness naturally develops as a result of living a life that optimizes the best of ancient holistic traditions including those from the Ayurvedic, Eastern, and Herbal medical traditions as well as Western medical principles and knowledge. It is from this place that I believe that health is truly optimized. It is here that I have found that even some of the most challenging chronic disease states will respond. It is with the mission of fundamentally changing health that this course was developed to share this knowledge with you.
