Reviews

great content, but wordy. a lot of data..

quiz was not a measure of knowledge or curriculum retention, it did not use information adequately from the text pdf module and intentionally and repeatedly had misleading questions that did not test knowledge but just caused confusion.

Being a seasoned wellness professional, I was surprised I learned a lot of new information. However, it was just 70 pages of reading without videos or demonstrations. The 20 question quiz was a bit challenging too!

Very well described and easy to understand.

i would have preferred to have the actual book.
