Olivia asked me a bunch of questions, explaining what each answer may be pointing to. I learned a lot about how things are connected. She was very sincere; it was clear that she was invested in helping me feel better. The treatment she provided me was painless (having never had an appointment like this before, I was a little scared it might hurt!) and relaxing. I left feeling peaceful. I'm happy to say that the next morning my back pain had subsided. I was able to twist and turn in ways I haven't been able to in 10 years! Needless to say, I'm officially sold on acupuncture! And I'm trying my best to get more appointments with Olivia. She's excellent.

Love this place…read more Love the instructors/doctors who run the school. Most intern sessions I have had were phenomenal. Only one stands out as bad in all the years I have gone here off and on - the one where the icky intern was getting so worked up with his needles he was literally sweating on me ... I don't know what that was about, but DUDE - EW. Pa-lease handle your business. I had to speed home and immediately take a serious shower ... When I first went here I was skeptical of acupuncture, but I will tell you, even though it doesn't work for everyone for everything, it DOES work for some people on some things. At $30 a session, any old ailment that the Western doctors can't seem to give you a cure-all pill for, come here and see what they can do for you. You just might be very, very surprised!

After years of shooting a wide variety of firearms, I recently attained my LTC and wanted to…read morereceive some formal pistol training to improve my skills and overall competence with with my everyday carry pistol. Overall, this was an amazing experience which has significantly challenged and enhanced my skills. I can't wait to practice what we learned again at the range, as well progress with additional courses they offer. This is no weekend warrior shit. These guys are seasoned professionals who can coach you if your smart enough to close your mouth, and open your ears. Here is more details... I found Texas tactical Training institute on YELP, and while they had no reviews, their information and photos intrigued me to make a call and have an initial discussion. I spoke with Tim over the phone for more than 20 minutes, explaining what I was looking for and what he could recommend. He explained he was a former police officer who was now focussed on offering firearm training experiences for people of all skill levels, at a price that didn't scare people away. Within minutes you could feel his passion coming through the phone, and i was eager to get something scheduled. I shared the idea with a friend and we signed up for a 4-hour 'Intro to movement - pistol' class for the upcoming weekend. We were excited at the idea of receiving some training to improve our skills, but unsure what two 'seasoned' gun owners would be able to learn in just 4 hours. A few days ahead of the training day, we received instructions by email of where to meet the course instructor, and what to bring with us. On the day itself, it was unusually cold...39 degrees in April cold. This elevated the training to a new level, as we were both not prepared or used to shooting in such cold climate. When our hands were not tucked deep into our pockets in a effort to once again feel our fingers, our hands were a little shaky when shooting (or at least that was my excuse on the day.. he he). We started with a short yet descriptive safety brief, and jumped straight into some dry-fire exercises of turning 90 degrees and firing on the 'threat'. That is the word Instructor Dustin used when telling us to engage the target... "Threat". At that moment you would turn the 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or start moving and shooting from various positions indicated by black circles of spray paint in the dirt that had just been created by Dustin and his his fellow Instructor Brian. Over the course of 4 hours we were introduced to various shooting exercises involving moving and shooting. My favorite phrase of the day (aside from "threat", which meant you were being told to engage the target), was "Push, Plant, Pull", which described your movements from one position to another. The push and planting refers to your feet, and the pull... well you can guess what that is for. We continued learning and practicing through the bitter 39 degree weather, breaking only for a few minutes here and there to return to the truck in an attempt to warm up and feel our fingers again. Dustin was an exceptional coach. He would watch you follow his instructions and offer specific minor changes to your body position, feet position, pistol grip, the elevation of my hands in relation to my eyes, and other small tweaks. All of which felt a little uncomfortable at first, kind of like I was shooting for the first time. However, this was a strong introduction to a new understanding that all my previous experience shooting was from a static position with no accountability of each round pushed through a paper target. I strongly recommend this training to firearm owners of all ages and skill levels. I also strongly recommend the 'intro to movement - pistol' course to anyone with a LTC, or someone looking to improve their skills.

After being on the range a couple of times I was bitten by the bug and knew I was on my way to becoming an enthusiast. I wanted to learn the critical safety rules, basic shooting fundamentals, and what is required to be a responsible gun owner, and I wanted to learn from the best. I also wanted a professional instructor who I can train and skill build with on an on-going basis. I researched heavily and found Mike. Mike is an exceptional professional instructor with outstanding communication skills. He's patient, approachable, easy to talk to -- and just a really nice guy! Mike took me to purchase my first pistol to ensure it would fit my hands properly and that I'd feel comfortable using it. Choosing the right gun matters! I spent a full day at the private range completing the NRA basic pistol course with him. It is an excellent foundational course. Mike sets a high bar and instilled confidence in me, the best part was seeing how much I improved over the course of the day. Next up for me with Mike is shot gun and rifle basics, followed by a variety of other tactical and practical shooting classes and closed quarter combat. If you want the best, go to Mike.

I only say scary because several people had failed it, sometimes multiple times, and said it was really, really hard. Cynthia helped me through multiple practice tests and was so encouraging throughout the process. Cynthia made me believe in myself and because of her I passed the test on the first try! Cynthia is not only a great teacher, but she constantly reminded me of why I was in this profession in the first place. As a social worker, we don't just have talk therapy with a client - we are mandated to see things from a social justice perspective. In going over different scenarios to help me be a better practitioner, it was clear that I had made the right choice in a supervisor. Cynthia uses compassion, knowledge from decades of doing this work, and humor to help those she is supervising. I know she uses the same qualities to help her clients and that is what makes her truly special.

My daughter's enrollment was handled extremely poorly. When I began asking about scholarship opportunities, communication essentially stopped from Sara Solomon knowing that I was on a timeline for Tefa vouchers to choose a school. I text messaged her from 9 in the morning till 9 at night five text messages and she did not respond until I said I had the money to pay for the other half of enrollment tuition by that point she probably couldn't get a hold of the director but instead of taking accountability, she completely ignored me after saying she would reach out to director of the school to accept the Tefa voucher. My calls and emails went unanswered, and even after I contacted Barbara, the owner directly, I experienced the same lack of response. I spent a week trying to get information, not knowing if the enrollment was accepted from their end for our voucher That was especially troubling when the situation involved a child's education and future. What disappointed me most was the apparent lack of consideration, transparency, and basic professionalism. Families deserve to be treated with honesty and respect, particularly when they are trying to make important decisions about their child's education. If financial assistance is not available, that can be communicated honestly. Ghosting a family instead is unacceptable. The campus may be aesthetically impressive, but appearances mean very little if the people responsible for serving families do not communicate or demonstrate compassion and integrity. I would strongly encourage prospective families to look beyond the beautiful presentation and ask how the school actually treats families when circumstances become complicated. Based on my experience, I did not feel valued, respected, or treated with the level of decency I would expect from an educational institution entrusted with children's futures. I'm a big believer of karma and how you treat others. What goes around must come back around. This is not the way you treat human beings. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this school based on how my daughter and I were treated.
