All-in-all, it was a very positive experience.

Loved it, has really helped my practice and I continuously refer back to materials. Highly recommend this course.

I found the course amazing my only take away would be maybe a face to face orientation to meet everyone in person at the beginning of the course as I found the in person day so beneficial and lovely.
