Haveing spent 8+ years as a Hospice Vounteer right out of massage school, I found this course exeeded my expectations, reminded me of many of my own experiences, and provided additional nowledge as well. The course iteself was Excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you are a massage therapist or not. There are many lessions here. I do suggest that you be prepared for the background noise in the recordings as there is a lot, and at times the volume becomes very loud, and other times you have to stop and turn up the volume to hear. If recorded in the future, I would recommend any questions asked by the audience to be repeated as you cannot hear most of them. Just my humble opinion. Otherwise, and extremely powerful experience. Well done, and with so much love and compassion. Thank you.
