Feedback from Our Students

Kyle Kim, DC
“I took this program to gain more skills sets/techniques/knowledge to better serve the families I take care of.
My three takeaways are:
1. Plenty of information!
2. Taught from DECADES of experience in a meaningful manner
3. A good balance of serious and casual learning atmosphereI’ve been able to use some of the analyses and techniques in practice to ask deeper questions, find different sources of a health concern, and approach differently to see better results. Utilizing inner cranial/palate balancing in order to help a baby and mother latch more effectively allowing the feeding to be easier. This also decreased reflux, irritability, and bowel discomfort. Less stress for the entire family.
I would recommend this program. There is so much info that you won’t get anywhere else. I think Chiropractors need to continually keep up with their learning in order to be their absolute best. We know we can help create better, happier, healthier families. We need all the possible skills and knowledge to do so. This course is absolutely part of that learning process. Sign up and have fun!”

“I tool this program because I have a practice with a lot of children and wanted to understand cranial care so I could better help these families.
My three takeaways:
1. Chiropractic schools do not adequately prepare the profession to care for the cranial injuries that infants and children often need help with.
2. These Peak Potential classes are the finest and most detailed cranial courses I have ever taken.
3. It will take me many years of hard work and study to truly master cranial work . . . but well worth the investment of time and resources to pursue this part of my practice.I have been practicing for nearly 25 years. This training has really opened my eyes to a completely new (and powerful) resource that will challenge me and motivate me to work diligently for my next 50 years in practice to be the very best I can be to help as many children as possible for the rest of my career.
This is all very new to me, but I have had several patients that it has been effective to use these techniques to help with babies suffering with ear infection, colic symptoms and many other issues.At this point in my career I have little time for rah rah, motivational chiropractic seminars or zero interest in practice management. If I am going to spend money, time and resources on my chiropractic education I do not want it to be a waste of my time away from my family and business. With 25 years in practice it is my experience that Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson has put together the most challenging, rewarding and useful seminars I have ever attended. Truly has made an impact for the best in my life and practice. Really, truly . . . so blessed to meet you both and learn from you.
Thank you both for making the sacrifice to come and do these seminars and take the process so seriously to make sure we are learning well and fully engaged and challenged to be the best we can be.”
