I loved this course, it was inspiring and something different. A good introduction to traditional healing, as well as some practical knowledge that you can apply right away. There are only videos, nothing to read and the quizzes are simple and ensure you retain the key points. I will be reviewing these videos for a while and do a lot more research on the topic.
