“Eric is highly qualified and his courses, very insightful. Along with his engaging teaching style and authentic personality, I felt we were up to date on best research-based practises. He is helping create a shift in my treatment room.”

by Denise Clark RMT

I attended the course not to learn a new technique or modality but to learn a concept, and you taught me to think of pain in a contrasting way. I feel I have better critical thinking skills than I did previously. I also appreciate the amount of science you included in the course. Keep teaching awesome courses!

I wanted to let you know how much you affected my 26 years of practice. I have never, in all my courses over all the years, taken something so mind blowing. Unbelievable. I was engaged with my people and used such different terms for their support. I think I blew some of their minds too. And I absolutely used your idea of TPN and I didn’t think it was a waste of their time. I am not sure if you understand how fantastic you and this course is! Thank you again!
