This course was full of interesting information, easily understood, but so informative! The video was integral and explained clearly what was expressed in the manual. Such new information will take time to fully understand, but one can continue to review the information. The workbook at the end of each chapter added to the learning. This was an excellent course!
Martha White, LMT
The course book was great and very comprehensive. The DVD and test followed the book closely, making it easier to study the material. I was very impressed with this course and highly recommend as a CEU.
Carole Buehler, LMT
Excellent course!!! I have practiced massage therapy for 31 1/2 years- my experience in deep tissue, acupressure, Tai-Chi and Qi-gong really helped!!!
Kimberlea Riley, LMT
Very good course. I really love having the DVD to refer back to.
Linda Martinek Delande, LMT, BCTMB
Oh my goodness, what a lot of material!! So fascinating, I have some knowledge of meridians but the Chinese/Japanese medicine aspect was so interesting to me. It would take many more hours to really understand all of this, but the book will be an excellent reference source and I will go back to it often to increase my knowledge
