Testimonial
"During my online course with the Barefoottherapist, I developed a greater awareness of boundaries. With this online course I have been able to understand more fully why I behave the way I do and I believe that I have developed skills to challenge or at least acknowledge that some of these core beliefs my not be serving me anymore. I recommend this course to anyone who is searching for an easy to read, navigate and learn course that develops the whole person."

Testimonial
"While taking the awareness of boundaries course I developed key skills to identify what boundaries are and how it affects my life. It was interesting to understand how boundaries can be negative and positive. I was able to identify that sometimes have create boundaries that my loved ones might not be aware about and how often times I use some negative boundaries. After taking this course, I was able to now communicate effectively with my loved ones what my boundaries are and identify when I display negative boundaries towards my loved ones. This course was very helpful and life changing. Thank you."
