He has been a wonderful help and support.
He's been very patient and helpful. For a while it felt hard to connect with him but I feel like we are getting somewhere.
Everything is great as is. Always helpful
I was very pleased with his healistic approach. I have never heard of bilateral simulation. I was very surprised and impressed with the relief from my lower back pain. Thank you so much I feel like it was a big help and I am looking forward to my next session.
He is just amazing. I’ve never been able to commit to therapy and I look forward to our sessions.
I think we are going to mesh well.
The therapist was good and act in a professional manner and showed concern. Thank you.
