I'm Nicole Cozean - I've been where you are!
Like many of you, I was trained to view Interstitial Cystitis (IC) through a narrow lens—treating symptoms in isolation and hoping for relief. But as I continued to work with IC patients, I realized the pelvic floor is only part of the puzzle.
We need to approach IC as a complex, multi-system condition. It’s about understanding the interplay between pelvic floor dysfunction, orthopedic structures, diet, nervous system, and even emotional health.
Once I shifted my approach to see the whole system and tailor treatments to each patient’s unique presentation, everything changed. Patients began to find lasting relief, and I rediscovered the joy of truly helping them move beyond pain and dysfunction.
I created the IC: Holistic Evaluation & Treatment course to share this comprehensive approach—research-backed, practical, and focused on uncovering the true root cause of IC symptoms. Can't wait for you to join us and enjoy the course!

What was the most important thing you learned?
1️⃣ “Overall I have a much better handle on IC and an approach to organize myself when evaluating and treating this population. The importance of how superficial to examine and treat when addressing the first muscle layer has already been a game changer for me!” – Elana H.
2️⃣ “How to talk to patients differently. I learned that I need to stop trying to do myth busting on day one and meet the patient where they are. I also loved your ways of explaining pain and you told us just what to say to the patient.” – Judy R.
3️⃣ “The myth busting sessions were amazing! I knew people could have IC without Hunner's lesions but didn’t realize the numbers were so staggering, 10% vs 90%! Also, the medication information was really helpful.” – Allison I.
4️⃣ “The nervous system’s role in symptom exacerbation and the viscerosomatic reflex. This is a great course if you want a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of the diagnosis and how to go about treating someone with it.” – Tori M.
5️⃣ “The course was comprehensive, focusing on holistic and multisystem care which is sorely missed in courses. The instructor was lively, passionate, and engaging.” – Sandra M.
6️⃣ “To be able to see the big picture; that it is so much more than just a bladder condition. I feel more confident in chasing the 'why'.” – Nadine R.
7️⃣ “The idea of the bimanual exam! Game changer. I like knowing that I don’t have to have everything figured out on the first visit.” – Amy C.
8️⃣ “Better holistic view and approach. Better understanding of the brain’s part of symptoms. Best big picture course on IC out there!” – Eryn K.
9️⃣ “Improved patient communication skills! How to communicate with patients and doctors about CURRENT evidence-based practice. Meeting them where they are at.” – Amy H.
🔟 “I feel more confident in addressing all of the external factors in my assessment and treatment. Also feel more equipped and validated in discussing other nervous system considerations, medical management, and nutrition.” – Erin A.
Take your IC care to the next level.
This is pelvic health, EVOLVED.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the course administered?
The entire course is done online and at your own pace. You have lifetime access to the material to review and reference as well! You can watch on either the computer or phone.
You can also download handouts and other resources to help get the most out of the course!
How much experience do I need to take the course?
You don't need a certain amount of experience to get the most out of this course - we've had participants ranging from just a few months in pelvic health to participants with 10+ years and a WCS.
Remember, you'll also have lifetime access to the content, so if you want to go back and revisit it later, you always can!
Why is the course online instead of in-person?
We've found online courses significantly increase the accessibility of our courses. They allow you to go at your own pace and come back to the material when you'd like to refer to it. We can use both models and live volunteers for demonstrations for the hands-on components and actually show what we're working on (more than we could in-person).
Presenting the course online also makes it more financially accessible; with the cost for the course, hosting, travel and hotel this same material would likely cost more than $3,000 to take in-person!
Is the course eligible for continuing education credits?
Yes, it's eligible for 12 contact hours! You'll receive a Certificate of Completion with the contact hours and are welcome to list it or submit it for credit (depending on your state requirements).
Of course, there is no obligation for you to submit it for CEUs if you choose not to.
Do I get a receipt and Certificate of Completion for the course?
Yes! You'll immediately be emailed a receipt following your purchase (so check your email!). After completing the course and filling out the Course Survey you'll receive your Certificate of Completion with the number of contact hours of the course. These generally are emailed out about two weeks after we receive your Course Survey.
