Course Reviews
Gina Kraus
The website, the materials, Mary Sullivan on the video, the courtesy of the gal I spoke to at the Institute, all was an outstanding experience. Extremely professional! Cranial Sacral is now a critical aspect to my practice. Clients are getting even more results. Thank you!
Diane Perkins-Ducey, LMT
I very much enjoyed the presenter in this particular course. Her gentle voice and quiet enthusiasm offered to me a consistent reminder of the reasons I still do this work. I hope to incorporate a number of these techniques into my practice. Thank you!
Eva Wheeler-Sagiao, LMT
I love, love, love this course. It certainly whet my appetite to explore further and dig deeper into the subject. Definitely highly recommend this course to anyone who has clients with PTSD, or fibromyalgia as a go to source.
Ellen Sherfey, LMT, NCTMB
I appreciated the demonstration/lesson video. Not only were the practitioner's actions helpful to learning more of this modality but the additional learning format was particularly helpful to me, since I'm more a right-brain type. The presenter/practitioner's voice & manner were also conducive to my acquiring a better sense of an appropriate "presence".
Audra Stoker, LMT
