Testimonials

I have enrolled in the animal acupuncture and massage course and have recently completed my first unit which is Dry Needling.

 

The face to face online sessions with Tom were so enjoyable and he was very patient and informative, providing me with numerous insights and helpful hints for needling.

Just last week I did a practice session with a greyhound that has had her hip ball and socket removed. The needle locations that Tom suggested worked their magic and not only did she fall asleep, but her owner commented that her leg was looking longer and more relaxed when she walked on it.

 

Great course and I look forward to the further subjects.
