Comments from Certified Facilitators
“The strengths of the program are in its presenters and their enthusiasm for what they do – you have the data to support results; we were able to practice what we were learning on real people; and you were able to transfer the love of OMA to all of us!”
“Very engaging, interesting and research-based. The resource package was extremely organized, which I really appreciate because it makes it easier to begin to implement OMA.”
“My heart is full. This training was personal but formal and informative. Team building and opportunities to learn experientially with role-play was amazing.”
