“The class was well organized with wonderful references provided. Emmy is very knowledgeable and has a welcoming warm style during her presentation. I think this is a great course for OT’s to reinforce & emphasize our holistic roots which are fundamental to our domain of practice & sets us apart from other, more reductionistic healthcare professions.” – Janet M.
