"Willy did an amazing job providing a training at our health center's Spring Retreat. The staff truly loved, and benefitted from, his insights, information, engaging personality, and openness to the process. I plan to invite him back for future trainings, to build on the vital foundation of knowledge and awareness that has now been created."
