IC PATIENTS DESERVE EXPERT CARE.
Why IC Patients Feel Overwhelming
IC is often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and frustrating for both patients and clinicians. Too many practitioners rely solely on bladder-focused strategies or protocols that don’t get to the root cause.
That leaves clinicians feeling helpless and patients feeling dismissed. Without the right knowledge and framework, IC becomes one of the most challenging and intimidating conditions in pelvic health.

If IC patients are challenging, you aren't alone! It's a complex diagnosis, but we can make a huge difference for our patients with the right information and training!
“How to talk to patients differently. I learned that I need to stop trying to do myth-busting on day one and meet the patient where they are. I also loved your ways of explaining pain, and you told us just what to say to the patient.”
– Judy R.
“The nervous system’s role in symptom exacerbation and the viscerosomatic reflex. This is a great course if you want a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of the diagnosis and how to go about treating someone with it.”
– Tori M.
“To be able to see the big picture; that it is so much more than just a bladder condition. I feel more confident in chasing the 'why'.”
– Nadine R.
“Better holistic view and approach. Better understanding of the brain’s part of symptoms. Best big picture course on IC out there!”
– Eryn K.
“I feel more confident in addressing all of the external factors in my assessment and treatment. Also feel more equipped and validated in discussing other nervous system considerations, medical management, and nutrition.”
– Erin A.
“Overall I have a much better handle on IC and an approach to organize myself when evaluating and treating this population. The importance of how superficial to examine and treat when addressing the first muscle layer has already been a game changer for me!” – Elana H.
“The myth busting sessions were amazing! I knew people could have IC without Hunner's lesions but didn’t realize the numbers were so staggering, 10% vs 90%! Also, the medication information was really helpful.”
– Allison I
“The course was comprehensive, focusing on holistic and multisystem care which is sorely missed in courses. The instructor was lively, passionate, and engaging.”
– Sandra M.

– Amy C.
“Improved patient communication skills! How to communicate with patients and doctors about CURRENT evidence-based practice. Meeting them where they are at.”
