Classes and Mentorship
Pelvic Floor Series Classes
Pelvic Floor Series Classes: These classes include PF1, PF2A, PF2B, PF2C, and Capstone and are the classes offered through Herman Wallace Pelvic Rehab, the largest provider of continuing ed for practitioners who would like to be certified in pelvic rehab. Note: there are many instructors for these classes, so please check who is the instructor, or you can check a list of my classes on the HW faculty page.
Lumbar Nerve Manual Assessment and Treatment Class
A 2 day seminar (8hours pre-work) to learn to differentially diagnose, manually decompress, do neurolymphatic technique, and treat the nerves of the lumbar plexus, and provide home program. This is an advanced course (requires 2B) and is very heavy on anatomy pre-study and lab. Nerves included in this class: ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, femoral, obturator, and lateral femoral cutaneous. (written and instructed only by Nari).
Sacral Nerve Manual Assessment and Treatment Class
A 2 day seminar (8hours pre-work)class to learn to differentially diagnose, manually decompress from surrounding structures, do neurolymphatic technique, and treat the nerves of the lumbar plexus, and provide home program. This is an advanced course (requires 2A) and is very heavy on anatomy pre-study and lab. Structures taught in this class: Pudendal, Sciatic, Posterior Femoral Cutaneous, superior gluteal, and inferior gluteal nerves as well as sacrum, uterus, and sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments.

Boundaries, Self-Care and Meditation Class
A class with 3 weeks of pre-work and one day in person (2 parts), to address the burnout and lack of shared responsibility that is a particular burden to therapists and health care providers. This is the class that helps you figure out how to take care of yourself and not be burdened in your practice.
Mentoring
Local Portland Study Groups: For those who have taken at least PF1 through Herman Wallace, we do some brief, targeted study groups of specific topics (usually 1-2) hours in length. To get on that list, please email your qualifications and interest. Individual Mentoring: I do long distance mentoring or consults for therapists wanting to discuss cases or get direction in their own career or support in opening their own cash practice. When I was starting a practice and deciding which direction to take my career, the few hours I paid for mentoring saved me endless wasted time. It’s an honor to return the favor for others. These are booked at my normal hourly rate.
