"And yes, all presentations were fabulous. I have been using some of the techniques with great success. I've been in the business for enough years now that it's hard to find seminars that I find applicable to the type of work I prefer to do & this was a nice balance of "styles" to add to the mix so it doesn't feel like you just turn on auto pilot & give the same massage all the time! I will look for other trainings done by you to fulfill my future CEU requirements." - Jean C
"So far, I am truly enjoying the presentation. So much valuable information. Currently, I am watching Val Guin – Neck and Shoulder Release via Micro-Systems. AWESOME!" - Rhonda F
"I really enjoyed the series of lectures that you organized; I thought the instructors were highly qualified, I liked the variety of topics presented and the fee for the tuition was perfect. I see that there are 2 upcoming webinars planned but I would like to see even more opportunities. I was impressed by the one that you had just organized. I live in Juneau, Alaska and Anchorage is the only place in this large state where continuing education is offered. For Massage Therapists elsewhere, it means having to defray for a flight, hotel, and meals on top of the tuition fees. I would gladly put the word out to promote your webinars. I intend to take the ones you will organized. Thank you for this great opportunity! "- Danielle Beckstrom, Second Vice-President AMTA - Alaska Chapter
"This is a wonderful way to obtain CEU’s. I enjoyed the 2 sessions I was able to sit in on yesterday and look forward to viewing the others. Please keep me on your email list so that I may utilize this relaxed yet highly effective learning experience in the future." - Marcy R, NCTMB
