Wow, what a journey the last 10 months have been! Firstly, I would like to thank you so much for making this course possible for South African Chiropractors. I have been eyeing it out for a few years and am so grateful that you were able to make it possible for us. I am so looking forward to meeting you both at the hands-on seminar in January. I live
in Cape Town and will be driving up to JHB and making a road trip there. I will be travelling with my 3 kids (I am still breastfeeding 2 of them).

It was more challenging than I expected to keep up with the weekly lectures, however I re-watched the videos multiple times, practiced extensively on my own children, met up with colleagues and implemented a lot into practice.

Content:
The course content was exceptionally rich and detailed. I especially enjoyed the modules on cranial movement and its impact on the nervous system. This has completely transformed my understanding and confidence in assessing and supporting paediatric patients. I also appreciated the practical demonstrations throughout the course, which made it easy to integrate the information into real-life applications.

Presentation:
The lectures were clear and well-paced. I found the visual demonstrations particularly helpful in understanding the hands-on components. Even when life got busy (especially during my pregnancy!), the online format and recorded sessions allowed me to re-watch and absorb the material at my own pace.

Value:
The value of this course has been immense. It has deepened both my theoretical and practical understanding, and I already see the positive impact of these techniques in my own family (I have been adjusting my kids using SOT and see amazing results) as well as in practice. The modules I had completed and implemented before starting maternity leave
meant I was finally able to “help” those really difficult cases that had more complex subluxation patterns. The knowledge gained has made me even more passionate about paediatric chiropractic care.

Implementation:
I implemented the assessment and adjusting protocols almost immediately into practice as I learned them. I also used what I’ve learned on my newborn while on maternity leave, and it’s been incredible to witness how effective these techniques are when applied correctly. For example, using the fruit jar and CSF techniques helped clear my son’s congestion when he had a cold at two weeks old — such a powerful confirmation of the method’s effectiveness. Also, since he has been having his nervous system checked since birth using the SOT protocol (we had an uncomplicated straight forward home birth as did my other 2 kids) he has been the most content baby, not even fussing at the 6-week mark. I’m very excited to bring the entire skill set into my practice when I return in the new year.

Suggestions:
At the moment- there are no suggestions that come to mind. Between the comment section, Facebook group and Dr sharing meetings we had ample room to have any questions answered. I look forward to the in-person seminar as it would be great to have the feedback as to whether I am doing some of the practical things correctly.

Overall, this course has been a truly transformative experience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion so generously — I look forward to continuing to learn and grow within this community for many years to come.
