Alvina:
I’m really excited about this class. It goes really fast. You need a demo buddy to work on but if you don’t have a trade partner you can receive via remote session after the first practice session.
Client Testimonial:
“I was scheduled to run a half marathon in New Jersey on Saturday. On Wednesday I got a pain in my low back and walking was really painful. I called Missy and after my Wednesday appointment, I was able to walk without pain. Much to my delight I was fine to run and enjoyed seeing my family cheering me on at the side lines during my half-marathon run on Saturday.” AE, Princeton, NJ
