Choose Your Path

You can take the Happy Bladder Program in two ways:
• Self-Paced Course (education-only; available anywhere): Full pre-recorded curriculum—step-by-step video lessons, pelvic floor/bladder-retraining education, neuro-pelvic tools, nutrition strategies, and downloadable guides. Telehealth visits not included, this is a pre-recorded education-only course). (Access: 4 months for Self-Paced Course).
• California Telehealth Program (includes 1:1 medical care; CA residents only): Pre-recorded course content plus 60-min initial + eight 25-min check-ins over ~12 weeks, scheduled Wed–Fri via the booking link Dr. Julianna gives to you. Clinical care is provided only while you are physically in California during each visit. Course access: 6 months (7 months when pay in full). Not for emergencies.

IC can involve urinary urgency, frequency, pelvic/bladder pain, and pressure—often without infection. The Happy Bladder Program is designed for women with IC-type symptoms who want a structured, holistic approach. There are two ways to participate:
• Self-Paced Course (education-only; available anywhere)
• California Telehealth Program for established CA patients (medical care within the naturopathic scope during scheduled telehealth visits).

See Who It’s For / Not a Fit (Right Now) on this page for important details (e.g., pregnancy, active infection, unmanaged red-flag symptoms).

Note that this course is best suited for women who are motivated, open to learning, and committed to following the program fully. If you're ready to put in the time and effort, this work can be deeply transformative.

The curriculum is 12 weeks.

• Self-Paced Course: 4 months of access to videos, handouts, and tools.

• California Telehealth Program: 6 months of course access plus a 12-week window to complete your 1:1 visits (60-min initial + eight 25-min check-ins).

*Note that California participants who pay in full receive 7 months access.

No—work at your pace within your access window. (Self-Paced: 4 months; CA Telehealth: 6-7 months of course access.) Telehealth visits must be completed within 12 weeks of your start date; schedule early to secure times.

Most people spend 30–75 minutes/day on average (varies by phase). Some days are brief (5–15 minutes); diet and bladder-retraining phases can take longer as you set new rhythms.

Healing interstitial cystitis is not about quick fixes—it takes dedicated, consistent effort to truly calm your bladder, regulate your nervous system, and change longstanding symptom patterns. If you’re willing to put in the time, you will see progress.

The good news? This course brings together strategies that would otherwise require multiple appointments with a naturopathic doctor, pelvic floor physical therapist, nutritionist, therapist, or hypnotherapist. By following the full program, you’re saving time and energy in the big picture—because everything is structured, accessible, and self-paced in one place.

• Self-Paced Course: No live Q&A or community. It’s pre-recorded education-only and self-guided.

• California Telehealth Program: Support happens in your scheduled telehealth visits. Email is for scheduling/administrative needs; clinical questions are addressed during appointments.

• Self-Paced Course: No—this version is educational and does not provide individualized medical advice.

• California Telehealth Program: Yes—clinical care is provided only to established patients physically in California, within the naturopathic scope, during scheduled telehealth visits. Telehealth is not for emergencies; call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for urgent issues.

You’ll self-schedule your 60-min initial and eight 25-min check-ins within a 12-week window via the booking links that Dr. Julianna sends to you when you sign up for the program. Dr. Julianna’s available hours are typically Wednesday–Friday. Availability may vary week to week—please book early and manage any rescheduling within your window.

• Please give > 24 business hours notice when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment.
• Late Cancel Fees: $150 (60-min initial); $100 (25-min check-in).
• If 10+ minutes late, may be counted as missed and fee may apply.
• Repeated late cancels/no-shows may limit future scheduling.

Are supplements required? How much do they cost?
Supplements are optional and a separate investment—they’re not required to enroll.

• Dr. Julianna uses a curated, research-based collection and, for California Telehealth patients, may provide personalized recommendations during visits.
• Self-Paced Course participants receive education on supplement categories and safe use, but no individualized plan.
• If you order through Fullscript, you will receive Dr. Julianna’s 35% practitioner discount.
• Typical spend is ~$200–$350/month (~$600–$1,050 over 3 months). During flares or more advanced protocols, some clients temporarily invest approximately $350–$450/month.
• Some people use no supplements as they progress.
• You only purchase what you choose. Actual cost may be higher or lower depending on symptom severity, response, and budget.

Yes. The home-based education pairs well with in-person pelvic floor PT and can help you get more from your sessions.

This program is educational and does not diagnose or replace medical care. If you have bladder pain, urgency, or frequency and want tools to support symptom management, you may still benefit from the Self-Paced Course.
Please talk with your healthcare provider first to confirm that an active infection or other conditions (e.g., kidney stones, STIs, gynecologic issues, pregnancy) are not present and to decide whether these strategies are appropriate for you.
Seek in-person medical care immediately for red-flag symptoms such as fever, visible blood in urine, urinary tract infection symptoms, inability to urinate, or new/severe pain.
California residents: medical telehealth care is available only when you’re physically in California and after establishing care; telehealth is not for emergencies.

Book a brief fit consult first. If we both agree it’s a match, you’ll receive a private enrollment link to complete payment and schedule your 1:1 visits.

Clinical telehealth care is only available to patients physically located in California during each visit. Anyone can enroll in the Self-Paced Course.

The program is self-pay and not billed to insurance.

Some people use HSA/FSA funds when their plan allows, but it depends on your individual plan and how the IRS defines “qualified medical expenses.” To be eligible, your HSA provider may require a Letter of Medical Necessity from your healthcare provider. This letter should state that the Happy Bladder Program is a necessary part of your treatment for a diagnosed medical condition such as interstitial cystitis.

Here’s how to find out if you're eligible:

1. Check with your HSA administrator to confirm whether a course like this is reimbursable.
2. Ask your doctor to write a brief letter explaining that the program is part of your treatment (check the "Letter of Medical Necessity" link above)
3. Keep all receipts and documentation in case you're ever asked for verification.

Please note: This course is educational in nature and not a substitute for medical care. HSA eligibility depends on your provider’s policies and IRS guidelines.

Many participants come to this Program after years of symptoms. The Program integrates nutrition, pelvic floor/bladder-retraining education, nervous-system tools, medical study and clinical experience informed supplement strategy to help you identify triggers and build resilience. The combination and sequence of these key integrative strategies and more are what often move the needle. Results vary, but the step-by-step structure is designed to help you make meaningful progress.

Most people try these in isolation, one at a time or don't follow through. The Happy Bladder Program integrates strategies—IC-specific diet, bladder retraining, pelvic floor education, and nervous-system tools—into a stepwise plan. If supplements are used, they’re optional and the collection that are recommended are hand-picked by Dr. Julianna because of their usefulness not just in medical studies but in her personal practice as well. This program integrates proven IC-specific strategies into a stepwise, doctor-designed sequence.

All payments for the ecucation-only course are final and non-refundable. If you choose a payment plan, you agree to complete all scheduled installments. The program is non-transferable.

How refunds work for the CA Telehealth Program: Your purchase includes the full self-paced curriculum, audio bundle, and an initial 60-minute telehealth visit (non-refundable once delivered), plus a balance for eight 25-minute "check-ins." Each completed check-in uses $200 from that balance. Any unused check-in funds are refundable—just ask, and we’ll process within 10 business days. We strongly encourage booking all nine touchpoints at enrollment and completing them within 12 weeks for best results.

The program is not appropriate during pregnancy/breastfeeding or while undergoing active cancer treatment. Please seek in-person medical care and talk with your clinician about timing.
