Testimonials

What our learners say

I used to be nervous about doing neck dry needling—honestly, it felt intimidating. After my certification course, I didn’t get much practice, so I never got the chance to feel fully confident with certain techniques. This workshop gave me the skills I needed to feel comfortable and in control. Now, I approach neck dry needling with confidence, and made such a difference!
Unsure and hesitant - that is how I felt dry needling around the thorax and shoulder. This workshop made all the difference! The hands-on practice and expert feedback helped me fine-tune my technique and build real confidence. Now, I approach these areas with ease, and it’s been a game changer for both me and my patients!
Thank you!
