Our guest this week is Nathalie Huitema who just received her
Ph.D. this year in human sexuality from the California Institute of
Integral Studies. She has a master’s degree in psychogerontology
from Radboud University in the Netherlands and postgraduate degrees
in sexology and psychology. Nathalie worked as a
government-licensed psychologist in nursing homes for 15 years and
was the first sexologist working in a nursing home in the
Netherlands.
During that time, she also worked for the Center of Consultation
and Expertise to support other nursing homes with their extremely
complex client cases, and as a moderator in a monthly informational
meeting for caregivers and clients with Alzheimer's disease.
Nathalie’s passion is enhancing the quality of life of nursing home
clients through improved sexual health. She has developed training
courses for aides, and medical professionals, and has done
sexuality counseling for clients. Just this past year, she became a
registered sexologist with the American College of Sexology.
