What are people saying about classes with Jenny Nieters?

Treated a hockey player with an adductor strain. Your class on the adductors helped me so much on pinpointing which area to treat with efficiency. It always felt like this area was a big black hold/void before, but know I know I can decipher what is what. The muscle testing was helpful too.  Had to share with you.  Thank you! – Vincent, Acupuncturist Costa Mesa, CA.
