That's the purpose of this course: to teach Bowen practitioners how to better assist parents, babies and children, because when you understand the cause of the problem, you can address it easier and faster. Love, knowledge and empathy - that's what it takes to help people in the most beautiful part of their life, to experience it with joy and happiness! Instructor: Andrew Zoppos. | 350 € |
