Student Testimonials

“The cupping course was excellent! The material was very informative and easy to follow. I really enjoyed learning how to add this modality to my bag so I can help more dogs!”

“Cupping has been such great addition to my toolbox to help as many animals as I can :) The course and material has been awesome!”

“I have taken other Cupping certification by well known providers and felt I was missing something. After enrolling in the Holistic Animal Studies course, I was amazed at the depth of the course. It is way more than a How To, but actually goes into Why it works and teaches you these treatment plans and critical thinking. I am really happy I decided to take this course. ”
