Thank you for your energy, creativity and for bringing to the massage CEU classes something that is new and refreshing that actually works!  A win/win for clients and therapists!

Karen educates at a medical level...most CEU classes show techniques but do not tell the 'why'.

Valuable, easy on the therapis, great thermal therapy for the client modality.  New in the industry, cutting edge treatment that most massage clietns will greatly benefit from.

Very therapeutic and comfortable techniques...loved the combination of science and 'yummy'... All the techniques were key take home ideas!

Leaned something new that I can use immediately in my practice!

The nurturing that comes with hot thermal therapy is 'over the top'!  This class was informative, uncomplicated and easy to integrate into an existing practice.

This information is well researched and relevant.  It can be easily incorporated effectively into the work that's being done in my office.

Loved the modesty massage!

Love being able to offer true relaxation and therapy without disrobing or use of lubricants.

Replaces stone massages and integrates with other forms of massage and physical therapy.  I love this work!

It's truly a different experience for clients, plus it helps save the therapists' hands.

Many ways to use heat for pain management.  You learn a lot to share with clients and yourself to manage pain

Very good review of muscles / attachments, etc and very good extra tips, hints & ideas massage related that comes from the [instructor's] many years of experience.

Very useful way to market yourself with 'add-ons' Less work for me and get great results with less pain.

Thank you for doing your homework before offering as a CE class.  Your handouts are great and the added anatomy is an added bonus.  Worth the $$$and giving up a week-end!

Pillossage™ is also great to use with any age... I have many senior citizen clients and I can't wait to introduce this for them!

Loved the use of heat with techniques for the anterior chest.

This method is so effective and less invasive than deep tissue!

Loved the use of heat with techniques for the anterior chest.

Deep massage does NOT have to be painful to be effective!

Very professional, very informative... and because Karen's spirit and enthusiasm are excellent... looking forward to Level 2!

Good for the therapist body, lots of teacher demonstration & help.

I know clients appreciated the heat therapy and how, with further techniques and the pillows, I can offer a more varied and deeper experience.  The program was very informative on different ways to utilize the pillows than I'd been using them.
