"I attended Dr. Deitrick Gorman's first Professional Women's Relaxation Seminar not really knowing what to expect, but I was hopeful! What I got was a very positive, educational experience surrounded by a group of strong, intelligent women sharing their experiences and knowledge. Hearing their stories was extremely uplifting, and I gained so many productive tips to help at work and home, several of which I'm already implementing! We had many beneficial and fun breakout sessions like the 'Vibrational Sound Therapy,' and everyone that participated seemed a little happier and more relaxed!"
- Celia S
