Sandy Fritz on board. As an author I was glad to be on the project and was pleased with the outcome.
As one of the authors, I enjoyed learning about the other modalities. I think this is a fabulous book for students or potential students who want to learn a little about many different techniques so that they can focus on those areas in their studies. As a practitioner, I find it a useful book to make referrals to others when my particular therapy is not appropriate. It also has helped me answer questions about how lomilomi is different from other modalities.
Thank you, Sandy!

Thanks Mike. A very thoughtful review! I encourage authors and others to write meaningful reviews (not so much about their sections but more about the book as a whole) on amazon.com.
If anyone was thinking about getting a copy, take a look at the link in my profile. I set up a massage text portal so you can get 20% off and free shipping.
I just recieved a email from international journalist but have not read the email but this must be it, looks interesting to me. I think I`ll give it a shot.
This book will help a lot of therapists decide which CEUs they would like to take. They will be better informed about what it will really be like, rather than just using a flyer announcing the style and date. That aspect and a permanent reference for all these modalities and in this depth, makes it a sure winner!
