    “A real privilege to have direct teachings from two very experienced chiropractors. Although this is a content-rich course it is very well organised and structured. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson are both very responsive in their replies and eager to help and provide clarification on any questions. Although I did the online version of this course I still felt I had hands-on experience thanks to the ‘call of action’ part of the course that gives you direction and steps on how to implement and incorporate the new techniques in your current practice.

    Taking this course had a profound impact on my practice. It enhanced my clinical skills about the pediatric population, gave me the necessary directions to change my first visit in order to make it a lot more comprehensive and taught me what to look for. Not only that but it gave me additional knowledge to be able to educate the parents on what they can look for and do at home to help their children thrive. I found parents also like to understand how things work and that course gives you the knowledge necessary to be a good communicator in the context of a family-based practice. Furthermore this course added so many new tools in my belt and that in turn gave me the confidence to see pediatric patients with more challenging issues. This changed my outlook on what I was offering and the added confidence definitely caused a positive energy shift that was much needed in my practice.

    It is hard to summarise the numerous clinical pearls that I was able to apply in my practice with a great outcome, however one thing came to mind was a 7 year old with intense chronic migraines that had been under my care for some time, and although he was getting some relief with his adjustments we were never able to fully keep his migraines at bay. Following the course I started working on his sphenobasilar and temporals, the effect was almost immediate with the migraines disappearing completely after a couple of visits. Another patient with years of chronic constipation received immediate relief after implementation of cranial adjustments.

    I would definitely recommend this course to others, being able to have a full 10 months course online is such a privilege, especially for chiropractors living outside of the US and who can’t easily participate in in-person seminars with Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson.

    I have to say I’m in admiration of how you guys were able to share your knowledge in such a clear and supportive way, considering all of it was online I’m sure it’s no mean feat and I feel very privileged to have participated in what you had to offer. Thanks again!”

    “I signed up for this course to take my training as a pediatric chiropractor and craniopath to the next level.
    My three takeaways:
    1. Clear, concise instruction via video and handouts in an organized fashion.
    2. The ability to study the course content on my own schedule.
    3. Pre-recorded videos allow the student to repeat the material to better understand the content.

    This program upleveled my practice’s ability to serve families in my community.

    Since my craniopathy training was mostly applied for adults, receiving a deeper understanding of correcting cranial subluxations in the infant and toddler population has been valuable for the large number of young pediatric patients seen in the practice.

    Any chiropractor wanting to help more children and families would benefit from the content presented in this course. Easy-to-digest pediatric chiropractic/craniopathy material that is broken down into manageable sections to allow the student time to learn and practice their new skills without requiring travel time or expense.

    Thank you Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for your commitment to the chiropractic profession as well as to the future health outcomes of the next generation.”
