Yes! The Academy's information is tailored toward female anatomy, female cycles, and pelvic health challenges that are common among women. However, The Academy has information that can help everyone reach their highest health potential regardless of gender.

• If you are a trans-individual or non-binary...
• If you are a male who works with women professionally (i.e. a gynecologist, physical therapist, acupuncturist, massage therapist, etc.)...
• If you want to understand a woman in your life...

...Or if you want to use and apply the information in The Academy to your mind and body (regardless of gender), then you’re welcome to join.

You must commit approximately 2-3 hours each week to complete The Academy.

The Academy consists of 11 modules, which are unlocked every week (over 11 weeks). This allows you to focus on one week at a time.

If you ever get behind, don’t worry… You will have forever access to the content (as described in the FAQ below), so you can take your time. The content is “dripped” to help you avoid overwhelm, to allow you to focus, and to integrate each week’s content before moving on to the next.

Each module includes approximately 2 hours of video training content, PLUS additional text to read AND bonus materials (additional videos, audios, handouts, etc.) that support each module’s focus. This additional material may take up to 1 hour to consume.

There's a quiz at the end of each module for those who enjoy “sealing in” their learning with an assessment. Completing each lesson and quiz is required to earn your certificate of completion.

It is highly recommended that healthcare providers take the quiz, as it may be a requirement for their state’s licensing board if planning to use their time in The Academy for continuing education credit. See the FAQ about continuing education below. 

You’ll have lifetime access to the video lessons and materials in The Academy (or for as long as I’m running the program online).

Any course updates will automatically be added, so you’ll always have the newest version of the program (if revisions or additions need to be made).

Auxiliary materials such as handouts, audio files, and certain videos are downloadable for you to use FOREVER, online or offline. If you’re a healthcare provider, you’re welcome to share these downloads with your patients as long as they are properly credited to the Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Academy.

YES, The Academy helps relieve symptoms of prolapse and pelvic pain. It changes your relationship with your pelvic floor, reduces fear around pelvic symptoms, and offers a whole-person approach to healing that will positively impact your entire life. 

However, The Academy might be too broad in scope if you're just beginning your pelvic care journey or if you're looking for a specific plan for treating prolapse or pelvic pain.

If you need a specific step-by-step plan for prolapse or pelvic pain:

Work with a pelvic floor physical therapist in your local area and start with one of my foundational online programs as described below:

Lift for Prolapse Relief is for you if you have prolapse or light bladder leakage when you cough or sneeze, if you're a postpartum mama (at least 6 weeks postpartum), or if you're preparing for pelvic surgery (or at least 6 weeks post-op). Lift helps you gradually gain total core strength and learn how to live a pelvic floor-safe lifestyle.

Overcome Pelvic Pain for Women is for you if you experience painful sex, pelvic tension/tightness, chronic unexplained pelvic discomfort, or urinary urgency/frequency (i.e., you always have to "go"). Overcome helps you relax your pelvic muscles and discover the mind-body connection, very gently and slowly building total core strength as you recover.

Then... When you're ready to go deeper...

"The Academy" is an awesome next step! It explores pelvic health's mental and emotional work using somatic movement, embodiment practices, and more. You'll learn how to stop fearing your symptoms and how to live your BEST, most pleasure-filled life from a place of total core and pelvic floor confidence.

To sum it up:

Start with a baseline of foundational pelvic health knowledge—whether through treatment you’ve received as a patient, or by starting with one of my online programs for specific pelvic health conditions (Overcome Pelvic Pain for Women or Lift for Prolapse Relief).

When the foundations are covered, The Academy will help you bloom into your highest potential for symptom relief and whole-person health—for life!

YES! Upon successfully completing The Academy, you will receive a certificate of completion that designates you as a Certified Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Practitioner.

Whether you’re a person dealing with pelvic health challenges or a healthcare provider, you can take pride in knowing that you’ve done the work to learn this important, life-changing information (whether or not you use it professionally).

To receive the certification, you must complete The Academy by going through every module in full and successfully passing the quiz at the end of each module.

The Academy offers a certificate of completion (as described in the question above). This certificate may (or may not) satisfy your licensing board’s continuing education requirements.

If you are a healthcare professional, please read this section thoroughly and contact your licensing board to see if The Academy will satisfy your professional requirements for continuing education. 

What The Academy offers: 

• Anyone who completes the course by going through every module (and successfully passing the quiz at the end of each module) will earn a certificate of completion that includes your name, the date, and the number of hours completed (22 hours). 

What The Academy does NOT offer:

• We do not guarantee that the Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Academy certificate will be approved by your professional licensing board, and we will not contact your licensing board on your behalf.  

Every discipline is different regarding the approval of continuing education courses. In addition, within each discipline (for example, within the field of physical therapy), every U.S. state and every international country is different regarding approval of continuing education courses.

There are different requirements for each state board within a state. 

For example: For the physical therapy board in Oregon, if the course is pertinent to the practice of physical therapy, and if a certificate of completion is issued, then the course can be claimed for credit. The Oregon PT licensing board requires that if a class is online or home study, then there must be an associated exam in order to claim credit. The Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Academy meets these requirements!

However, your state’s licensing board may have different requirements. If you’re hoping to use your certificate of completion for the Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Academy for continuing education credits, then please be advised that you must do your research to see if it will fit your state licensing board’s needs.

As a health professional, you want the best for your clients. Here's how The Academy can help your clients (and help YOU, too): 

Add Tools to Your Toolbox

You want to give your clients the best results. You want to be the provider in town that everyone's raving about! But if you:

• Don't know how to help clients manage the emotional aspects of pelvic health
• Feel like you're missing a layer of patient care
• Don’t have time to do hours of self-study to find what works

...Then The Academy is perfect for you. 

Better understand your clients and learn new tools to help them navigate their pelvic healing holistically.

Get Certified

Upon completing The Academy, you will receive a certificate of completion that includes your name, date, and the number of hours completed (22 hours). This may count toward continuing education hours for your state licensing board (see previous FAQ for more details). 

Even if you cannot use your Academy hours toward continuing education credits, you can still write off the cost of The Academy as a business expense (consult your tax preparer to confirm; everyone’s tax situation is different). 

After receiving your certificate, you will be added to a database of professionals who have completed this in-depth coursework. This database will be publicly shared on my website and in my online communities. It can help grow your business, whether you work with people in person or online.

Network

As a bonus, The Academy grants you a four-month free membership in the Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Collective. The Collective offers great exposure for healthcare professionals! You will be mingling with other community members who might be looking for providers in your area or within your niche, and you are welcome to share your information with them.

Help YOURSELF 

Lastly, and most importantly, The Academy allows you to heal as you learn. Most providers need this holistic, integrative information for themselves as much as they need it for their patient care! 

It’s time to dismantle the hierarchy that has separated healthcare providers from patients. We are all here to help people feel better (or to help ourselves feel better), so why put barriers between clients and practitioners when the same information can help ALL of us? Pelvic health is for everyone. Let's spread it together!

YES. Absolutely. The information in The Academy is for ALL people and is taught in a way that’s easy to understand and implement for everyone, whether or not you have a medical background. No fancy jargon or lingo will be used. It’s my promise that taking this course will be like learning with a friend over coffee or tea, it won’t be like a regular classroom where there are grades and where an expert is speaking at a podium on a pedestal!

Certification is Optional

The quizzes at the end of each module are OPTIONAL. If you don't want to earn the certificate of completion, then you do NOT need to take the quizzes.

If you take the quizzes and earn the certificate, please know that the certificate (and the designation of being a Certified Mind-Body-Pelvic Health Practitioner) is not something you are required to use or promote in your life. It's OPTIONAL and a nice opportunity to showcase your work even if you don't use it professionally.

We’re all in this together.

As the founder of The Academy, I am learning and growing every day. This brings magic to The Academy! My hundreds of thousands of hours of studying and training have brought us the course you see today, which WILL evolve and be refined in the future. Since you have lifetime access to The Academy course materials, you’ll be able to see any updates or evolutions that occur in the future. 

One reason I created The Academy and decided to open it to both pelvic health patients and practitioners is that I believe everyone needs this mind-body (integrative) information, and very few people have learned it. In all likelihood, when it comes to mind-body healing, holistic health, and personal development, you’re probably on a level “playing field”—if not more advanced—than the providers you’ve been working with! 

Yet we’re trained to believe that our providers know everything and that we must follow their advice, even if it goes against our feelings and if they offer information from a very limited worldview.

It’s time to change this dynamic. It’s time to get your power back and for both parties (you and your healthcare providers) to STEP INTO a new paradigm for pelvic health that includes all aspects of you: Mind, Body, Spirit, Energy, Emotions, Spirit, and SOUL.

It’s time to dismantle the hierarchy that has separated healthcare providers from patients. It’s time to eliminate “white coat syndrome,” which can leave many people feeling insecure when speaking to providers deemed to be “above us.”

Everyone browsing this website is here in the service of bettering health, so let’s eliminate the barriers between patients and practitioners since the same information can help ALL of us!

Pelvic health is for everyone, and together, we can spread it further.

The short answer is "no." We do not offer refunds after you register. Keep reading to learn why!

As you’ll learn in the Academy, SAFETY (and feeling regulated and aligned) is foundational for learning. When you register for The Academy, I want you to be a "heck, yes! I'm so ready for this!"

If you're not a "heck yes," then please contact us with your questions or concerns BEFORE you register. Email [email protected] and we'll help you.

We do not offer refunds once you've submitted your payment.

No refunds will be given due to the proprietary nature of the program, your access to downloadable program materials, and my inability to control your availability, motivation, external forces, financial situation, or level of engagement. I appreciate your understanding.

That said, client satisfaction is a priority, so if you have a complaint, please contact our team, and we will do our best to remediate the situation so that you feel supported! Again, our support email is: [email protected]

Yes. The Academy is not specifically designed as a program for the perinatal period (i.e. it doesn’t focus on prenatal care, pregnancy, or postpartum care); however, it is SAFE and can be a wonderful learning tool for women of all ages and stages… including pregnancy!

Both programs are focused on Mind-Body-Spirit Health and Healing. However, there are a few distinct differences: 

• The Academy is an 11-week self-paced, self-study course, whereas The Collective is a monthly membership.
• The Academy teaches a systematic approach to whole-person healing. It takes you step by step through the process I use with my private clients to resolve their symptoms using physical, mental, energetic, emotional, and spiritual exercises and techniques. It is a stand-alone course that offers everything you need to know for whole-person pelvic health.
• The Collective offers new monthly content (including live calls) and is a community designed for women who want to deepen their mind-body-pelvic health connection.
• The Academy is an excellent option for someone who desires deep learning and independent home study.
• The Collective is an excellent option for someone who desires connection and community.
• The Academy is for all genders. The Collective is just for women.

NOTE: When you join The Academy, you get FOUR MONTHS FREE in The Collective!

Yes! The Academy's price is just $897 if you pay in full. If you prefer payment plans, you can make four monthly payments of $247. 

Do you want 1:1 support? Sign up for the “Academy Plus” for personalized mentorship! Your “office hours” with Bri include a 50-minute video call to discuss your questions, plus a full day of unlimited voice and text messaging support. If you pay in full for this upgraded option, the price is just $1297. If you prefer payment plans, you can make four monthly payments of $347. 

You're in luck—the doors are open! The Academy is a “rolling enrollment” program, meaning that you can join at any time.

But before you begin The Academy, you might want to prepare!

If you have pelvic health concerns, then I recommend that you have already completed one of my foundational online programs, such as Lift for Prolapse Relief, or Overcome Pelvic Pain (or at least be *in progress* in one of these programs). 

Why? Because The Academy is a "next step" program that assumes you already have some basic knowledge about your pelvic floor and pelvic health.

It's beneficial to follow this guidance so that you have some foundational "baseline" knowledge about your body and pelvic floor before beginning the more advanced coursework of The Academy.
