User's Testimonials
Joan Apter, who teaches our Raindrop Program, is a very meticulous instructor. Her students have given wonderful testimonials to us on her behalf. Statements like, “Best class I've ever taken”, or “Joan's teaching style is clear, inspirational, and fun!” An all-important objective in our courses is for the students to feel assured that they can utilize the information that they have learned. This direct quote from one of our students demonstrates Joan's effectiveness; “I feel confident to practice the Raindrop Technique after taking this class.
Larry Heisler, M.A.RMT/Director, North Jersey Massage Training Center 
I really enjoyed your class. You make learning fun. When I looked in the mirror last night I thought how nice my skin looked and thought it weird my skin would look better as we did not put anything on our faces. Upon further reflection, I concluded that the skin was the same it was the stress lines that were gone!
I felt so at peace afterward and slept really well last night (which I usually do not). As always you did a fabulous job and it is always a pleasure to see you. I will be using this technique on others who need some help. Thanks.

Thank you for the five-day Raindrop Technique and Therapeutic Essential Oil Application Workshop that you presented from October 29 to November 3, 2001, at the Spa at Las Ventanas al Paraiso.
Our 29 staff members in attendance appreciated your excellent teaching abilities, and are excited to begin practicing the new techniques you have presented to them. They were deeply affected by your obvious love of the Essential Oils.
I am particularly delighted with the signature treatment we created for the spa, one I am sure our guests will adore. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any spa that wishes to increase the excellence of their aromatherapy services.

My massage from Joan was one of my most nourishing & healing experiences ever! She really understands how to use the oils as a therapeutic tool in massage. I could have gone for a 6-hour massage; I did not want to get off that table. Highly recommended, true massage genius!
