"Healing" ...... I have had tears, deep thoughts, denial and even anger. Now I have healing, love, peace and calmness, as well as knowledge. I truly believe everyone should do a course like this one. What I now am able to do is help others get through what I did by myself. The course content was perfect, the exercises perfect and tutoring was prompt and full of loving kind words. I looked forward to my tutor's beautiful comments as they helped me with my confidence and the determination to carry on. I recommend this course to everyone.
