Do you want to deepen your potential to truly help and heal your clients?

Are you up for the challenge of addressing one of the most important—yet frequently ignored—areas of personal wellness?

Then it might be time for you to take your skills to the next level with a world-class training in clinical sexology!

If you’re a therapist, counselor, bodyworker, educator, or other clinician, there’s a good chance your clients have expressed some sort of sexual concern to you.

It could be an individual client whose unacknowledged sex-based shame is acting as a roadblock, preventing progress in your sessions with him.

Perhaps it’s a struggling couple whose various conflicts can be traced back to a sex life that neither of them enjoys much.

Maybe it’s your coaching client who has every reason to feel outgoing and confident, but her lack of sexual confidence hinders her growth in other areas.

It could be a person who has recently found comfort in the concept of gender fluidity and could use guidance navigating their shift in identity.

You understand the real need to address these concerns, but you hesitate to form a plan of action to tackle them.

After all, sex can be a tricky, sensitive subject to approach, and you don’t want to unintentionally do more harm than good.

That’s a valid concern, and it’s important to work within your qualifications.

But what if you had the tools you needed to help your clients in this vital area?

Imagine feeling calm and confident when the topic of sex shows up in session, knowing you’re well prepared to address your clients’ concerns.

By adding this dimension to your work, you can help your clients achieve truly holistic healing.
