I found the guide extremely helpful and easy to follow. Thanks again for all your information; it definitely helps take a load off my mind!

Brooke Spurrell, Certified Massage Therapist

The Essential Massage Companion goes with me on every massage.  I frequently refer to it while the client is getting ready for the session because it is so quick and easy to look things up.  Thank you for an invaluable reference!

Karen P., Massage Therapist

You've made such an impact on so many students at Irene's Myomassology Institute, and for being one of them I am eternally grateful. I'm sure that future students will be positively affected by the information you share in The Essential Massage Companion.

You continue to help me on a weekly basis through The Essential Massage Companion, which I am always referencing before working with clients.   Being a recent graduate of IMI, I've had the good fortune of having the book since I started school and with as much as I use it, I have to wonder how any MT can get by without it.  I just can't imagine not having it.

Your giving nature never ceases to amaze me. Some people go the extra mile, but you leave them in the dust. Thank you for all you do; you are proof that one person can really make a difference.

Nikki B., Massage Therapist

If not for you, I never would have made it through Irene's Myomassology Institute.   You were such a huge part of my time there.  I passed tests because of you. Even now I still refer to The Essential Massage Companion.   It's in my bag with my table & it goes everywhere with me.  You're an amazing teacher, and I know that you'll be successful wherever you go & whatever you do.

Erica S., Massage Therapist

You are a truly gifted and caring instructor.   I am glad that I had the chance to attend your class, as it was invaluable in my taking the National Certification Exam and it has proven very helpful in my own clinic.  I also LOVE The Essential Massage Companion.  Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Exie B., LMT, NCTMB

I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to attend classes instructed by you. Your teaching style is fantastic! I wish the wonderful experience I have had on all that come after me.  I look forward to your articles.   It's about time I join the AMTA and subscribe to the journal.  Your writing style is very effective!

Lisa O., Massage Therapist

I was a member of your May 1998 class and was also treated by you in your office. You are an excellent instructor and gave so much to the students.  I felt great confidence having you both as my doctor and as my instructor.

Good luck in all you do. I know that you will succeed wherever you will be lead.
