Student Reviews
This course made studying ethics a delight rather than a chore. I loved and very much appreciated "The Educated Heart". I will tell friends who are therapists or bodyworkers about it! It's a great CE course.- Gina D Carrigan-Piper, NCTMB, Newburgh, IN
I have taken other professional courses on ethics, and never found anyone so interesting as this one. In the past I would skim through to find the answers but this time I found myself reading the whole book 1st and then going back for the answers. I want my other colleagues to read it also. Thank you.- Diane Marie Grassgreen, NCMT, Neptune, NJ
