How to become a My Vagina practitioner

My Vagina is has a growing team of vulvovaginal specialist naturopaths and if you think this job is for you, we want to hear from you! We aren’t actively seeking new naturopaths right now, but if this is something you see for yourself, we are listening.

We know every country has different education requirements for this type of practitioner, so if you don’t have exactly what we’ve asked for in your country, but equivalent education/experience, we still want to hear from you!

Qualities, qualifications and skills we’re looking for

You don’t need to tick every box – we know you have a unique skillset and interests, and you’re able to learn new things; this is why we want to hear from you.

We provide all our practitioners with significant training. Nobody knows what My Vagina naturopaths know, and no other practitioner has access to our advanced, innovative in-house systems built by us, for us. Ongoing training and support is a critical part of being a My Vagina practitioner.

All My Vagina practitioners have at least a year of hand-holding – you’ll be in over your head, don’t worry! We have all been there, and as we expect great things of you, we provide you with the solid base you need to thrive.

About being a My Vagina practitioner

Very flexible, rewarding role supporting people with vulvovaginal issues (and sometimes penises)
Patients often have complex cases with severe vulvovaginal, reproductive and urinary tract symptoms, with a lot of failed medical care behind them
You are an independent contractor under the My Vagina umbrella – we’ll train you and bring you the patients if you take good care of them!
Initially, expect to commit 1-2 half days per week or one full day – you’ll start slow and ease into it, this is not immediately a full-time position, as you’ll need to build up your patient base, which takes about 12-18 months
Manage your own schedule
Rates are set by My Vagina initially then flexible as you progress
Location doesn’t matter
Freedom within your practice
Full herbal dispensary on site, we process all your prescriptions and ship them to patients, with some exceptions
You’ll be fully supported by My Vagina, including technical, administrative, treatment/strategy and moral support as needed
You will be part of a team of specialised naturopaths and expected to contribute to discussions, treatment development and forward thinking – we’re at the forefront of some pretty big stuff right now and have an amazing opportunity to revolutionise the way vaginas are treated – for real!
You will be expected to contribute to the website’s knowledge base regularly and build your profile with various media i.e. writing, video, courses, or whatever else you have tucked in your waistbelt
You will become famous on the internet
This is a very close-knit, small team, so being able to communicate clearly and kindly matters
We know naturopathy is a very white middle-class occupation, so we warmly welcome all applications and would deeply love to diversify our team!
