Really enjoying the course and the concepts are an eye opener for me. The course has helped me become a better therapist and a better person while in the treatment setting. Thank you and I will be recommending your courses to other RMTs!

I really want to express how great I think your courses are. I believe you've created a learning atmosphere that doesn't condemn those who have been clinging to some outdated ideas. Instead you let us know that is just a starting point. It lets us recognize some shortcomings, settle into the fact that we can doubt our past understanding (that's not a bad thing) and become intrigued by the current knowledge and discoveries in our field. Your courses are about evolving knowledge and I appreciate it.

I am really excited to integrate my new knowledge into my practice. Your course has really changed my mindset regarding treatment, and client centred care. Sometimes when things get repetitive at work it's easy to lump people into categories based on their symptoms, and treating them based on that. This course is a wonderful reminder that even though people may present with similar pain, everybody's cause is different, and the way you treat each client is specific the them. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me, I look forward to continually learning from you in the future.
