TESTIMONIALS
Real students and graduates share their impressions
Muy práctico: La profesora nos corregía con detalle y pudimos practicar y repetir todas las técnicas. No perdimos tiempo. Fue todo un éxito.
I loved the different ways we were learning: reading together, the discussions, practical practice - how everything we learned … has a purpose – leaving me feeling equipped to help relieve discomfort and increase well-being. Going to the clinic and trying out the protocol made me feel even more ready to bring this into my own practice. Thank you so much for a wonderful class, Teba. It had everything I hoped for and with out a doubt would recommend to anyone interested in working with pregnant women and new mothers. I am still buzzing. My toolbox has definitely expanded and can’t wait to share these new skills with the pregnant women I see in the clinic. You did an amazing job meeting everyones needs. This class is truly worth a trip across the Atlantic! With love, Alexandra
Recomiendo mucho este curso, y la manera como lo ha impartido Teba, respondiendo a todas nuestras dudas. La clínica con mujeres embarazadas fue muy gratificante.
