Staying on top of current research can be a real struggle. Articles are often packed with technical jargon, they go on for pages, and even when you make it to the end, it’s tough to figure out what actually matters for your practice. Melissa saw this challenge and created a course that makes research more accessible, relevant, and digestible for all RMTs.
