    You cannot do better than to take this class from Ron. It has served me well for 20 years. I'm going to take the review class because I know there will be tons of new information. I love that Ron gives all the scientific/medical background information. I'm definitely a "show me the data..." person, so I value all of Ron's information as well as the solid hypnotic training. And it's funny and entertaining as well. I've been in practice for 20 years. Ron's training has been a solid part of my practice for these 20 years.

    Your course is without doubt the most comprehensive and generous that I have taken. For all that I learned, I do thank you!
    However, Ron, my age is to be blamed, I steadfastly hold, I find that I could not find my exam score. I beg one more bit of help.
    Thanks, Ron for all of your generosity.
    I wonder if you have done any work with psychogenic dysphonia?
    I have been researching the subject extensively but have no experience with it.

    Ron, you've done it again! Thank you so much for this comprehensive approach to pain management. I look forward to serving my community with this alternative approach to treating pain. Through your teachings, I feel that I am a better practitioner. I am forever in your debt.

    This course is the most complete course of any 'niche' topic in the field of hypnotherapy that I've encountered. The information is clearly explained, the techniques easily understood, and best of all Ron provides real-world personal examples of using the techniques and the science behind WHY it works. So much of hypnosis is taught with the attitude of "just believe," but I want the nuts and bolts of how this stuff works. I'll be investing in many more of Ron Eslinger's materials. Wayyyy underpriced.:)
