Nicky communicates very clearly and doesn’t rush. She explains in detail what is happening to the body and why we treat certain things the way we do. She always makes sure you are okay throughout the session.

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and supportive of the groups learning styles and pace. Bringing the text book learning into real life scenarios also supported the learning over the course. I feel that I learned a lot and can confidently assist if needed.
