Overview

This two-day seminar is designed for Chinese medicine practitioners who wish to expand their clinical understanding and skills in working with vulvodynia, chronic vulvar pain, unexplained vaginal pain, and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse).

​

For the 11th time, Orit Zilberman will share insights from her 18 years of clinical experience in addressing vulvodynia through Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and herbal therapy. The seminar will be available both online and in-class in Amersfoort, NL, hosted by Qing Bai Academie.

​

Why is it important?

Vulvodynia is chronic vulvar pain without an identified cause. It affects an estimated 1 in 7 women. Many patients are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or are treated for years without improvement. The result is ongoing pain, stress, relationship strain, and often a feeling of not being taken seriously.

​​

What can Chinese Medicine offer?

Orit Zilberman has been supporting women who suffered from vulvodynia with Chinese medicine for 18+ years. In her experience, Chinese medicine offers a safe way to support reducing pain and restore function. In this seminar she teaches you her step-by-step approach, using real cases from her vast clinical experience, with distal acupuncture, herbal formulas and lifestyle changes.
