Read MoreI, personally, have found the course materials to be extremely straightforward and comprehensive. The advice provided has been of great assistance when it comes to viewing the mindset and concerns from the individuals I am binding. The advice has also given me a deeper insight into my own thoughts and feelsing while conducting the ties and bindings on my subjects. If I could grant ten stars, I would grant eleven!
