This was an exceptional course. So well organized and presented. I love that Susan speaks so calmly and slowly, allowing all of the information to really sink in. I love all the demo videos of her doing and narrating the cupping procedures. And I valued the supervision video because it was very helpful to see her make any necessary corrections to the students cupping techniques. Thank you to the people being treated in the video as well. It was very special to watch Susans caring nature during Annis session. I am so glad I had this as an online class to guarantee that I watch to the very end. Because I do know how tempting it is to leave class a little bit early at the end of a long weekend, but watching this to the very end of Annis treatment clearly and beautifully showed the way to comfort a patient experiencing such a potentially painful technique. Thank you so much for sharing all of this information so well.

Susan is a great teacher, who likes to teach and is more than wiling to share her knowledge, experience and downfalls in her career. She takes her time to explain the procedures. Love taking her courses.

This was a very interesting course that I was able to directly apply to my treatments in clinic immediately after learning it. Cupping the jaw has been immensely useful for my patients!
