"After my CMT was finished, I knew that I had learned a lot, but it had just wetted my appetite for more.  Recently I have been finishing the final requirements the CBW program and I look forward to taking more continuing education classes.  The learning environment here is very contagious and you want to keep learning – and there is so much to learn from each of the different teachers, assistants and fellow students.  In my practice I often hear the compliment “I’ve never had such a great massage”, and I owe it all to the Institute.”"
