Dianna LeBeau, LMT
Excellent course! Very knowledgeable authors! The text is well written and easy to follow. Packed with tons of usable information and easy to understand charts and illustrations. I learned a great deal that I will be able to put into practice right away. I would love to see more courses by these same authors; they thoroughly know their subjects and know how to present it in a very understandable way. Thank you for offering this course. The only thing that would have made it better for me is if there was an option to get the actual book and video. I find it very tiring to have to do a lot of reading on line. I won't do another long totally online course again.
