Integrative Pelvic Therapy Certification Program
Welcome
If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because something in this work resonates with the deeper call of your path. Perhaps you’ve sensed that the pelvic floor holds more than just muscles, that it is the ground of safety, creativity, and vitality, and you feel drawn to support others in tending this sacred place.
Integrative Pelvic Therapy (IPT) is not only a set of techniques but a way of practicing in alignment with wholeness. It asks us to meet the body with respect, to honor the wisdom held in the pelvis, and to walk alongside others as they reclaim connection and healing.
This guide is here to show you the steps of the certification journey. More than that, it is an invitation to deepen your practice, to listen to your own body, and to follow the work you are meant to do.
What is Integrative Pelvic Therapy?
Integrative Pelvic Therapy (IPT) is more than a professional training; it is an invitation to transform the way you support yourself, your patients, and your clients. This whole-person approach to pelvic care combines hands-on pelvic floor techniques, energetic awareness, and natural medicine principles to foster release, resilience, and balance. The work honors the body’s innate wisdom while equipping practitioners with practical skills to help patients let go of holding patterns and reconnect with vitality, boundaries, and a deeper sense of wholeness.
Certification Pathways
Every practitioner’s journey is unique. That is why IPT offers two ways to engage. Whether you want a single toolset to enhance your work or a complete training to expand your scope, IPT adapts to your goals. See Detailed Course Summary below for details of each weekend and individual modules.
