I will continue to accommodate referrals from other practitioners and rehab cases (with veterinary approval) where possible, but will not be taking on regular clients until completion of my Masters degree. I will also have limited availability for educational offerings throughout this year, but if you are interested in securing a 2017 workshop or seminar in your area, please get in touch on info@foundationsofsoundness.com with all of your questions and wild ideas!
