LGBTQ Healing For Chronic Fatigue Pain And More

Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D.

Director, Conscious Girlfriend Academy

Ruth is the founder of the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, and the author of the Amazon bestseller Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love. Severely impacted by chronic fatigue and long COVID for many years, Ruth spent massive amounts of time and money researching and trying treatments that didn't help much, before discovering the neuroplastic medicine which brought lasting change.

Nida Tansinsin, Physical Therapist

Resilience Health Care

A physical therapist for almost 20 years, Nida's focus is on resolving chronic symptoms, particularly chronic pain. She has achieved remarkable results by linking brain science with patients' life experiences and symptoms. She works closely with Becca Kennedy, M.D., founder of Resilience Healthcare, and is dedicated to bringing neuroplastic medicine to the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Learn more here.

Lexi Alberts, LICSW

Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapist

Lexi is a trauma therapist and a certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy provider based in Washington State. She spent over 10 years in social services supporting the LGBTQIA+ community through crisis and trauma, and now brings that same care to working with chronic pain. Her own journey of managing chronic pain was totally transformed by evidence-based mind-body practices. As a licensed mental health professional, she is called to share these healing strategies with her queer and trans community. Learn more here.

Why This Class?

At least 50 million Americans (and many more people worldwide) struggle with one or more of the above conditions, which:

Disproportionately affect women, and thus are very prevalent in the lesbian/queer community.
Have enormous negative impact on our quality of life, including our finances and our relationships.
Are poorly understood and rarely effectively treated by conventional Western medicine, and often not effectively addressed by naturopathic or Chinese medicine either.
Turn out to share surprising features which the newest brain science can actually help us address and resolve.

Join us for this free (or $1.00 trust and safety fee) class in which two LGBTQ experts in the field will share their personal healing journeys, the brain science which helps them help others, and next steps for you or anyone else impacted by these chronic conditions.

Chronic pain, including from documented physical causes. Fibromyalgia. Chronic Lyme Disease. Chronic Mold. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Long COVID. Chronic Fatigue Symptom/Myalgic Encephalitis. Chronic Epstein-Barr. Chronic migraines. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Taken together, the toll these conditions take on our lesbian and queer lives is massive -- and changeable.

No, these conditions are not just "in your head." They are not your fault. And they can almost always be healed or substantially improved by the information our speakers, including Academy Director Ruth Schwartz, will share tonight.

Ruth says, "After many years of up and down health, I was spending thousands of dollars each year on supplements and practitioners, and living a severely limited life. At my lowest point, I discovered the Curable app and the work of Dr. Becca Kennedy, founder of Resilience Healthcare. They outlined a radically different path to healing, and when I followed it, my life changed.

"That's why I invited Nida and Lexi, two experts in the field, to speak with me on April 22. We sincerely believe that what we have to share can make a huge difference for you."

These two beautiful women didn't just get lucky. They did the work to create healthy love.

You can, too.

What's Different

About Lesbian Dating & Love?

A lot! And we'll help you understand why, and how to navigate lesbian love wisely.

There's truth behind the lesbian joke about bringing a U-Haul on the second date. Two women together do bond more quickly and intensely.

Our deep capacity for intimacy can make lesbian relationships the best relationships on the planet.

Yet it can also cause problems. Studies show lesbians divorce 3X more often than other couples.

The truth is, a deeper connection requires more skills, so you can steer clear of red flags, recognize true compatibility, and keep your love strong.

Your heart deserves it.

Participants Say:

"On Nov 23, 2018, I finished your 12-week Roadmap. Prior to that I had been trying unsuccessfully to date for years, with over 100 first dates that never went anywhere. Your class made the difference. Six days later, I met someone online... and after 15 months, we were married on April 21, 2020. We are an incredible match in so many ways that we can't believe it ourselves. The Road Map class prepared me for many of the important components of our relationship. She is 68 and I just turned 71."

Diana & Marci

"In such a short time in the Academy, I feel that so many things are making so much sense, and connecting things inside me in a way that hasn't quite happened before... it's life-changing. Plus, such an amazing group of women sharing of themselves and truly helping one another."

Diane

"I often send clients to the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, and have seen it transform women's lives. It's run with heart and integrity and is a true service to the lesbian community, delivering comprehensive information in a usable format. There's nothing else like it out there."

Julie Bjelland, MFT

Founder, Sensitive Empowerment Community

"Last week I missed Roadmap due to dental issues... So, I just watched last week’s recording. MAN! Powerful stuff! I have never taken so many notes! Then I went on a first date and pushed through my anxiety and fear and started talking about what I was REALLY looking for, and asked the same of her. And I did well!

Lora

"Lisa and I got married in October. My relationship with her is the healthiest and most secure I have ever felt. I’d like to think it’s due to the awareness you and the education of your content has given to me. Finding your special someone is possible past 50. I was starting to lose hope that I would ever find this kind of connection."

J.C.

I’ve gotten so much out of the Road Map class, and continue to follow up and cycle back through the homework on my own.

I’ve been telling many friends about how great it is, even my straight friends.

I feel like I can move forward with so much more groundedness and confidence due to the new skills and insights.

Sarah

"I wanted to share that I am now totally comfortable with you using my full name, if you still would like to use my testimonial. Coming up on my four year anniversary since taking your Roadmap course and I still believe, it and you helped me to become ready to meet my Beloved and to have the healthy, loving, conscious relationship that we have today.

Fay Zenoff

"I'm so happy I was told about this group. I've studied so much, done many years in various therapies, and yet this exploration feels like a light shining on the corners of my heart. May the learning infiltrate every cell."

Jane

"I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to thank you for all the support and insights I have received from you and the wonderful group of women in the Academy. Thanks to the wise advice and support of two women in a breakout group, I had the courage to say the three magic words I like you to the woman I felt attracted to, and the rest was history. My first lesbian relationship and the confirmation of what I always knew: that I love women."
