Mark, your class was so interesting, stimulating, and educational, that I, with everyone else, didn’t want it to end. Thank you for your time, effort, and expertise in presenting it. Just last night I was mentioning the paths of Chinese medicine to a friend whose thumb is suddenly turned under.
this was my first ever Auricular Acupuncture treatment. I didn’t realize how stressed I was until after my session. One week later and I am still relaxed. I am looking forward to another session this week.
