“Good emphasis on biology, studies (evidence-based) practical experience was also helpful.”
 “Instructor was great about answering questions and about differentiating between personal opinion and what is ‘known.”
"Great Class, very informative, kept the pace moving. Very knowledgeable instructor, obvious enthusiasm for her topic"

"The best part of the class was the instructor’s depth of knowledge and evidence-based approach. With so many divergent opinions available, I was relieved to hear so many sentences begin with ‘there was a study that showed."
