“When I was driving home on Sunday, I was thinking of you and the class. Again, I think you provide a relaxed environment that is conducive to learning. You also provide lots of tools, such as the stuffed horses, the plastic exposed views of the horses, the detailed sequence notes and photos and the excellent.”

Hi Becky! Just wanted to say thanks so much for a weekend of learning and fun! It was intense, but worth it. I came home and knew every part of Lenny and Lucy! It was so cool!

Their build and short hair will really help me practice. Please keep me posted on any class updates (refreshers) and info and I will let you know when I do my first “official” massage!

Thanks again for everything….it was a pleasure meeting you!

I was so tired yesterday at the end of the day I’m sure I did not tell you how wonderful the weekend was! It was amazing.

You’re an amazing lady and hope I can live up to the standards that you have for what we should be. I’ll try hard.

Thanks for opening your home to us and making us feel welcome

I just wanted to say thank you again for a fulfilling weekend. I learned more from you in those three days than I did at the college. The hands on was so beneficial.

When I was driving home on Sunday, I was thinking of you and the class. Again, I think you provide a relaxed environment that is conducive to learning. You also provide lots of tools, such as the stuffed horses, the plastic exposed views of the horses, the detailed sequence notes and photos and the excellent textbook of the anatomy. Those, along with the hands-on training, provide plenty of learning opportunities. Your even temperament and interjecting humor make for a fun and good learning atmosphere. I can’t think of any negatives. I would and will highly recommend your courses to anyone interested in massage classes.

Just wanted to thank you for a GREAT class and learning experience. I am so very glad that I decided to take the course and APPRECIATE your encouragement and help throughout the weekend. You made it easy to ask questions and learn despite my fears that it wouldn’t all sink in it DID ! I can’t wait to start using everything I learned on my dogs as well as others at the adoption kennel.

Continue the good fight for all creatures great and small, they are so worth it.

I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much we enjoyed the class. You are a wonderful teacher to be so patient and helpful to get even an old gal like me through the class. I am still exhausted. lol We are putting plans in motion for practice dogs and a business plan.

I am so glad Amber was so into it, and now I finally get it that this clicked like the last class didn’t! I hope we can get you together for a refresher, and a massage for Goldie. Amber is excited about it again, and that excites me!

Thanks again for everything and I am sure we will be talking to you soon!

I have been meaning to write this letter since returning from your canine massage class on 8/16/2010, but as I am sure you know, time can sometimes escape us. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful learning experience your class provided me. The experiences you shared, personal and professional, were both invaluable and inspirational. In addition, having a peer in the class (Emily Hacker) who also works with animals provided me with a different outlook on caring for dogs. While I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and a more amicable peer, it was the dogs that stole my heart. Please give Abby, Dixie, Fez, The Chairman, and especially Hank a big hug from me.

Lastly, I want to thank you for accepting me. You did not judge when I said I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with this training. Nor did you ever make me feel “less than” because I was not in the animal field. Most importantly, when I left class after taking my examinations, I truly felt that I had earned that certificate. Your class is intensive and offered more than I could have ever anticipated.

Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity.

I am so loving what I’m doing! It is everything I thought it would be. I found an animal chiropractor in our area, and I plan to go talk with him about fusion marketing; he refers me to his clients, and I refer him to mine. Those pet parents who are into holistic healing will be more likely to seek massage and chiropractic services. I’m now looking for an animal acupuncturist.I am thankful for you every day; if it were not for you, I wouldn’t be able to pursue my dream of helping suffering animals.
