We were shocked when our in-house training turned into a team-building weekend. I had not seen that much fun at work in a long while.
Natalie T., Rehab Director
I took a course with Kiki on March 9th and 10th in St. Paul, MN. She was an excellent instructor, and I left feeling inspired. The course was a good combination of aquatic principles and treatment ideas.
We watched videos of real patients, created our own case studies, and spent half of both days in the water. It was fun to bond as a group of pediatric aquatic therapists, and Kiki facilitated group brainstorming and learning from each other.
