I did it! I'm a dip!

Last month, I flew to Phoenix and took a hands-on test with the incredible Ali Gabriel. I've been working toward that moment for 8 years, each year working on a different requirement (essay exam, public speaking, case reports, clinical class, etc.).

What does this mean? Well, for one, I can put CST-D after my name. (And with $5, I can buy a chai tea latte!) And I can wear the tiara, of course.

What it means to everyone else is that I have the Upledger Institute's seal of approval that I know what I'm doing. Woot!

Check out my shiny new diploma! If it fills the room with a glow, now you'll know why.

I just arrived in Truth or Consequences, NM for a clinical applications craniosacral class that will run all week. This is an area of hot springs, apparently. I have a hot spring tub in my room! For, um, medicinal purposes only.

And yes, I did go fabric shopping in Albuquerque before hitting the road to Truth or Consequences. : )
