Educational Programs

Inclusive. Educational. Fun.

“Dani, of Women’s Health Specialists, is a dynamic speaker. She has a hands on approach, keeping the students engaged. She encourages student involvement and creates an excitement for the students to want to take charge of their own reproductive health. I would definitely recommend Dani’s presentation to anyone inquiring about reproductive health education.”
— Carolyn Mims Lead MBOA Instructor Institute of Technology
