She is also the Chair of the Medical Education Committee for the International Pelvic Pain Society. She is working with other experts in the field of chronic pelvic pain to develop training modules for residents and physicians interested in learning about the diagnosis, treatment, and management of chronic pelvic pain.

With an extensive background in mainstream clinical medicine, she also makes use of many alternatives, holistic and homeopathic approaches. Taking a team approach, she works with specialists in pelvic floor physical therapy, kinetics, and movement, as well as acupuncturists, nutritionists, cognitive behavioral therapists, and functional medicine physicians.
