Excellent presentation of the material. It was clear and concise, easy to follow and provided lots of practical information regarding the practitioner's role in dealing with people of emotional and mental states as well as illness.
Kathleen Bowman
This course is a well researched summation of stress and the effects of stress that one might meet with in a bodywork practice. Raises awareness and therefore helps to build confidence and professionalism.
Atricia McCary, Therapeutic Massage, Lincoln, VT
This course was very informative, as it gave definitions fro various mental health concerns in easily understandable terms. It also gave the appropriate techniques to use or not to use for each situation. These are helpful guidelines.
Nora Sasson, LMT
This course was GREAT!!! I learned so much about recognizing mental/emotional deviations and how to support and refer the clients. In addition, I feel that this course improved and increased my knowledge as a therapist.
