Super Day
We had an in person training provided by Sarah and it was incredible! We had other providers join us so it was a good way to network with other settings and we all fed off each others ideas and conversations. Sarah was pleasurable to listen to and had a warm presence. We got some great ideas and useful tools to help us move forward to be better more proactive practitioners. Thanks Muddy Puddle Team!
