" I loved ATP-1. This course has taken my education in massage and women's health to an entirely new level. I was inspired by my teachers and all the other students. The entire experience going to Arco Iris Farm in Belize, the amazing food, seeing the Gardens was just incredible.
My educators were so loving and supportive they made learning fun.
The accommodations were very nice and clean. Everything was perfect.
I learnt so much in 5 days. It was completely life changing. I couldn't recommend this course more.
You leave with knowledge that will help a lot of women and that is the most beautiful gift."
Shannon Echlin, Certified Massage Therapist
Speaking as a person who has had the modern medical system and many alternative methods fail me time and time again in my quest for healing, health, and balance; I am honored and humbled to learn and practice this important work. I feel empowered to now have an approach that allows me to be an active participant in maintaining my own health and the skills needed to safely, effectively, and honestly offer it to others. I feel confident not only in the practices themselves, but also with how the ATC are developing, preserving, protecting, and passing along this sacred work. With deep and sincere gratitude.
