Leslie Korn – Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for PTSD and Complex Trauma Course
Trauma is the quintessential mind/body/spirit dis-ease — it’s complicated, challenging, deeply personal and treating it is never “one size fits all.”
Despite the ever-expanding body of research and number of interventions available to help our clients…
It’s just not enough. Especially when our clients are sick and tired of talking about their experiences over and over.
That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to this online certification course, Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for PTSD and Complex Trauma.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Utilize culinary and herbal medicines to reduce anxiety, depression and pain
- Use nutritional supplements to aid in medication replacement and withdrawal
- Implement body-based strategies for each stage of trauma and for different brain functions
- Create assessments and tests that aid in tailoring interventions for your clients
- Understand the roles of psychedelic medicines and when to suggest them for your clients’ treatment
- And so much more!
I’ll provide you with a step-by-step roadmap for how to treat diverse clients by integrating ancient wisdom with the latest evidence-based methods, all infused with the compassionate clinical art of heart filled care.
