“The Skill Enhancement Seminar is a very positive and rewarding experience. I felt very comfortable and

welcome. The openness and feedback from the team of therapists was much appreciated. I have a lot more

self confidence about practicing Myofascial Release with my clients and about myself.”

“What an enjoyable and significant learning experience. There was no pressure and it was so important

to receive the personal supervision for refinement of my skills.”
