This was the most interesting continuing education course I have ever taken. Learning all the benefits of cupping therapy has enlightened my mind to the healing mechanisms of the human body. - Linda Z.
I hugely enjoyed this course! I found that the material was presented with enthusiasm and clarity which can sometimes be lost when a great deal of information needs to be imparted. I'm very excited to start my cupping practice now! - Natasha Pereira
I liked how there was no time limit on the exam, and I was able to continue taking the exam on my time. Having three kids it's hard to find time to take an exam with a time limit. Thank you, Audrey Estes
