Founder, 4-D Network for Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit Adjunct Professor, California Institute of Integral Studies Cambridge, MA, United States Over thirty years as a family therapist, sex therapist, teacher, speaker, researcher, poet, editor, and author have prepared Gina Ogden to become America's premiere voice for women, sex, and spirit. She has listened to thousands of women express their feelings about sexual relationship and has trained hundreds of physicians, nurses, social workers, family therapists, and other health providers to include sexual issues in their intake assessments and treatment plans. Gina Ogden is a 21st century pioneer who combines rigorous science with intuitive energy healing. Her groundbreaking national survey on Integrating Sexuality and Spirituality (ISS) is the first to study to broaden the understanding of sexual experience beyond limiting notions of function and dysfunction. During her ten years of ISIS research, she was a Visiting Scholar at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women, and Harvard Divinity School's Center for the Study of World Religions.
