I have taken numerous courses with Kiiko over the past twenty years. Her DLPFC material is perhaps her most informative and therapeutic thus far.
Sandra K. - United States of America
I always feel like Kiiko has such a wealth of knowledge to share and her courses are amazing because it is filled with helpful things to learn. It was a great class. I think Kiiko is also a very engaging professor so it is easy to listen to. I also think Kiiko's notes from this class were invaluable so now I have them myself so that is great.

Kiiko is a master in her own right even though she always points to her teachers as the masters.

The biggest thing about Kiiko's courses is they are immediately applicable. I have never taken a course with her where I don't use her techniques and incorporate them into my practice.
