In our last newsletter, the Early Bird rate for two upcoming courses was accidentally shown even though the deadline had already passed. Rather than quietly correcting it, we’ve decided to honor it.

𝐔𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟖, you can still secure the Early Bird rate for:

𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞
Three half days of advanced orthopedic assessment and treatment techniques with one of the world’s most recognized educators in manual therapy, set in the stunning Rocky Mountains.

Both courses are already over half full, and once March 8 passes, the Early Bird pricing is gone for good.

If either of these courses has been on your radar, this is your chance to lock in your spot and save before the rate returns to regular pricing.
