TESTIMONIALS

-- This presentation by Joanna was one of the best, if not the best, presentation I have ever received. It was both engaging and relevant to my job as a mountain leader. The topics covered were detailed but not onerous and Joanna’s knowledge as a medical professional but also a mountain professional gave  it just the right balance. The presentation made me consider my own methods of client medical forms and I will be making some tweaks based on what we discussed. Traditionally, I’m not keen on online seminars but I can honestly say this one kept we alert, awake and engaged throughout and it left me with an increased desire to get into the hills with more physically impaired clients. It was most inspirational and I will certainly be looking to join more of Joanna’s presentations in the future. Excellent!.
-- The most common physical conditions were covered and related well to the outdoor environment. Interactive sessions were also included which helped participants to contemplate what adaptations would be helpful and what other considerations would be required to make outings safe, comfortable and thus enjoyable. 
-- Diolch o galon (thanks from the heart) again for all of the workshops they were extremely interesting and I dare say transformational on my approach to consciously incorporating more accessible elements in my outodoor practice.
