I encourage anyone and everyone to go see Teepa in person. She is a fantastic instructor. You will laugh and feel the pain, but walk away a better person for what you have learned. She is an exceptioanal woman with great insight to a scary disease, armed with a wonderful sense of humor lined in compassion. I can’t wait to see her again when she comes to Minneosta this month.
