Nikau Women’s Program

Since 2017, our women-specific classes have been conducted nationwide. The overwhelming support and high attendance from the outset have confirmed that the lack of resources we personally experienced is a widespread issue among women in the profession. Many have shared that being a woman in this field can feel unnecessarily difficult, with teaching methods rarely tailored to our unique needs. Our mission is to change that by providing support, community, and resources to ensure that all women in the profession can feel confident, competent, and empowered to care for their patients now and in the future.

Program Tiers

This tier focuses on establishing and honing the essential skills needed for a successful chiropractic practice. Participants will gain confidence and proficiency in foundational techniques and principles. See our Women’s Adjusting Seminars taught by Dr. Lauren Koedyk and Dr. JBess Ruby.

Tier Two: Acquire Advanced Adjusting Skills and Analysis. Learn Practice Systems and Care Planning

In this tier, participants advance to more complex adjustments and in-depth analysis. The curriculum includes practice systems and care planning, equipping attendees with the knowledge to optimize their practice and patient outcomes.
