    “Having taken the online program, I wanted to see the techniques in person, and have more opportunity to practice.

    My three takeaways are:
    1. That preparation is really important for the classes, in order to be able to get the most out of them.
    2. That there is a lot of technical information, and it’s necessarily complex. It may take a while, but as it becomes clearer, there is enormous benefit.
    3. That you’ll use these techniques every day in your practice.

    This program has given me a much more technical approach to cranial work, as well as a system for approaching chiropractic that I resonate with.

    I use many of these techniques, and I often see dramatic changes in a short period of time.

    I think this body of work is a significant undertaking, so it’s best if you can devote some time to diving in deeply. At the same time, there are techniques that I was able to implement after just taking one weekend class, so know that you will receive something useful, no matter how you approach it.

    Thank you.”

    “I decided to take this course because my office is becoming very populated with children. While I have taken numerous pediatric seminars, I still felt like I needed more hands on and a more intense program. When signing up for the program, my goal was to have a better understanding of the pediatric spine through exam and treatment and to feel more confident in doing so.

    My three takeaways:
    1. If you want hands on, this is it! I love all the hands-on time.
    2. If you want to go back to your office with more confidence and understanding of the pediatric spine, this is the program for you.
    3. If you do not know where to start, start here! There is so much information but each seminar coming back, I have a better grasp of the techniques, and I am able to implement things slowly into my practice.

    This program professionally has allowed me to see patients with confidence that I am doing a proper examination and technique that is very specific to my findings. Personally, I feel since starting the seminars in January I am taking my skills to the next level which is very rewarding for me personally and I know my husband is beyond proud of the time and effort I have put forth to do so. I have been doing a lot of palate work since the second seminar series and have seen a lot of improvement with post tongue tie patients and those who are having a hard time latching. Breastfeeding success has improved greatly. This is simply amazing as many women struggle and give up and to see them and their baby thriving is so rewarding.

    Yes, I would highly recommend this program to others. Fresh out of school or years into practice, I feel like the information is delivered in a way that everyone will learn and benefit. This course is intense; I am not going to put it lightly. But I appreciate all the hands-on and help we have while in seminar. The notes are so clearly delivered, and the slides allow me to go home and review without feeling like I need to be back in the seminar to further my learning. If a chiropractor wants to treat children, I feel this program is an absolute must. I wish it was taught in school! I think it is great and I appreciate all your hard work in teaching others! I have been to many seminars where I go thinking I am going to learn, and it is mostly stories about the instructor’s personal success stories, and I leave feeling like I almost wasted my time. Not here! Thanks again! See you soon!”
