Medical Cannabis Course Testimonials
Dr. Jacobson’s informative and engaging presentation opened my eyes to the healing potential of cannabis and the need to de-stigmatize it and educate medical professionals about its many uses for treating pain and other ailments. I left her talk feeling hopeful and excited about eventually adding this powerful tool to our toolboxes and look forward to learning more from her in the future.
I thought Dr. Jacobson provided good insight into the pharmacology, medicinal usage, and industry information regarding Medical Cannabis. Really insightful!
I feel much more comfortable with the modes of administration of cannabis on the neurological system and better equipped to have meaningful discussions with my patients.
I was really wanting to know more about cannabis and how it related to our practice. This session gave me the answers I was looking for and resources to find out more information. This was a great presentation. I never knew about the Endocannabinoid System.
I had no knowledge about this topic prior to this course and I am so happy that I attended. It changes my whole perspective on CBD and THC. Thank you!
Thanks to the presentation, I look forward to educating my patients who have Fibromyalgia and chronic pain regarding CBD and THC.
This course far exceeded my expectations.
Physical Therapy Testimonials
A sidewalk faceplant left me unable to chew anything on the left side of my mouth – for close to a year. Every healthcare professional I saw indicated I’d need surgery to get my jaw aligned. Luckily for me, my well-connected Pilates instructor referred me to Rhea. Using craniosacral therapy (a hands-on method that coaxes the body back into alignment, among other things) and her special, intuitive healing powers, Rhea was not only able to get my jaw to match up again, her healing hands also addressed my 20-year-old chronic back pain. She is a true healer. Book today. You won’t be disappointed.
Rhea has been able to break my migraine cycle better than all the meds I’ve used!
I have seen Rhea for physical therapy for almost 10 years as have my two teenage sons. She is extremely skilled in working with the body to release areas in which the body is holding tension as well as to gently manipulate the body into more ideal positioning. Her results are very tangible as I, along with my sons, have felt markedly better after seeing her. I recommend Rhea without hesitation.
Rhea is a highly skilled manual therapist- my “go to” for head, neck and back pain.
