PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR WHOLE-PERSON CARE
Build the language, frameworks, and practical tools to address sexual wellbeing in eating-disorder care—without making disclosure, desire, or sexual activity compulsory.
Move beyond “Are you sexually active?” toward
What are you noticing—and do you feel free to choose?
THREE WAYS IN
Begin with one focused course, pair the two foundations, or enter the complete professional certificate pathway. Every course stands alone and also builds toward the larger framework.
For professionals who want a grounded, non-coercive foundation and a clearer clinical rationale.
For professionals ready to ask better questions, formulate context, and document with care.
For professionals seeking the full eight-course curriculum, synthesis, and applied case integration.
Start with the rationale, then move directly into permission-based assessment.
THE COMPLETE PATHWAY
The certificate moves from clinical rationale and permission-based assessment through biopsychosocial formulation, nervous-system safety, OC/UC patterns, identity, intervention, ethics, and integration.
FOUNDING ENROLLMENT
Eight courses, tools, assessments, and capstone.
The complete pathway with live consultation support.
Professional certificate of completion. This is not a certification, license, sex-therapy credential, or authorization to practice beyond your existing role and competence.
GOOD TO KNOW
Clinicians, dietitians, healthcare professionals, eating-disorder treatment professionals, supervisors, leaders, and educators working within a regulated or appropriately supervised role.
No. The curriculum supports role-appropriate recognition, assessment, formulation, intervention, coordination, and referral. It does not qualify someone to provide specialized sex therapy.
Approval is being pursued. Do not rely on a course for CE credit unless the profession, jurisdiction, format, date, and hours are confirmed before enrollment.
Enrollment opens October 1. Courses 1 and 2 launch November 15. The remaining certificate courses follow as the pathway expands; timing will be confirmed before enrollment.
No. Sexual activity, frequency, partnership, and increased desire are not required outcomes. Asexuality, abstinence, celibacy, low desire, neutrality, and uncertainty are not pathologized.
