If there were more than 5 stars, I’d have selected that. I never come across somebody more knowledgeable about how our bodies are made to move and what we can do to ensure they continue to move the way that they ought to. She she listens, she takes notes, she evaluates and and she formulate a plan that anyone committed to will find success in
Carol was very professional and confident. She was delightful.
