TESTIMONIALS

  • "I attended an in person one day scanning event after having completed the online learning. I was in a group of 4 and we had access to a variety of patients during that 8 hour day. The facility was amazing and accommodating and the ultrasound machines were so intuitive and easy to use. The instructors were very knowledgeable and I came home with the confidence to get my ARDMS check offs done."

  • "Gay and Michele were truly, truly amazing instructors! They both created a warm, non-judgemental, stress-free learning environment and were truly incredibly encouraging and so positive. I was so impressed by the instructors’ breadth of knowledge and passion. They were humble about the work, too, really inviting feedback and grateful for it. So rare to find in experienced practitioners. Absolutely loved them both, they are true gems!!! And besides being gifted teachers, they were lovely to spend hours with, cooped up in little too rooms."
