“This book is a great resource. DFR explores categories and subcategories that I hadn’t explored before and I have over 500 hours in education and plenty more in experience. I use it often in my practice as an informative reference source. All bodyworkers would benefit from owning this book and I also highly recommend taking Chula’s training!”
