We all know that there are important biological differences between men and women, and yet there remains very little in the way of courses dedicated to understanding how to train women for health and performance.
Designed by Sara Gustafson (a high level CHEK Practitioner), this in-depth course is devoted to helping students develop a deep understanding of women’s hormonal cycles and the Jungian archetypes that embody the essence of feminine energy in its truest forms. With this firm foundation in place, students are taught to design holistic health programs that are truly tailored for the needs of their female clients.
