Just finished a full 2 days of OM with Linda Hoppe. I love the new techniques I’ve learned from such a skilled therapist. She presented the material in an effective and empowering way, giving us confidence to apply the newly learned techniques immediately in clinic. Can’t wait until November when she comes back to Grande Prairie!
