Julie and I offer our sincerest applause for the CARE training offered in Scranton this weekend.  What we gained FAR surpassed our expectations and it is only in the days following the seminar that we are slowly beginning to discover/uncover the many gifts the training offers--those beyond the obvious. 
- Mer, your pedagogical approach to Chemistry as applied to the oils really stripped away the fear we brought into the training--fear rooted in poorly instructed high school Chemistry classes and fears around the myth that women can't be good chemists/scientists. 
- Joanna, your demonstration of the emotional release was a true expression of what may be the best of your many gifts.  Watching you work so gently, so lovingly with Deb was truly a sacred opportunity. 
We wish you both so much success as you continue to evolve One Healthy Life and your vocation as "vessels" for healing.  You are two blessed individuals...we hope to see you again.

Wow!! I've only been involved since June 2009 and have been feeding on everything I can get my hands on, only to realize the wealth of knowledge yet to be attained.  Joanna & Mer brought me to a much higher level of awareness beyond all my expectations and created a deeper thirst and desire for MORE.  Truly, this is a long awaited answer for all mankind.  Praise God!  and thanks to G.Young and all of the CARE faculty.

I enrolled in the CARE Intensive seminar with the goal of learning more about my YL oils and their application techniques.  Mer & Joanna's presentation far exceeded my expectations.  Their communication skills and solid grasp of the CARE material they present were truly an encouragement and a blessing.

The program has definitely been a life changing experience.  I am extremely happy I made the decision to come without hesitation.  They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.  Go ahead and take that step.  God will surely lead you the rest of the way!

Their love for people and love for their subject makes Mer & Joanna’s courses first rate!

I learned to appreciate the God given ability we have to heal ourselves physically, spiritually, and mentally.  This course has inspired me to become a better father, husband, brother, son, human being.  Thank You!  I hope to teach this and share it with others.  This had to be the most fascinating course I’ve encountered.

C.A.R.E. Rocks!!  Joanna's enthusiasm with the Bible Oils and Emotional Release classes is fantastic.  Mer & Joanna are incredible in gently guiding hand positioning in VF/RDT - The gentleness made learning easy and open.  Both Mer & Joanna love what they do and it comes through loudly.  I want everyone to do this class because it's a wonderful sharing with students and teachers.

The CARE Intensive was life changing for me. It was a wonderful experience to be around such caring and enthusiastic teachers and peers. I learned more than I ever thought I would and was reminded of my faith and passion for such a way of life.

Mer & Joanna are very caring individuals who bring this through in their teaching as well as their passion for this work.  Thorough teachers with attention to detail, very supportive and safe atmosphere to learn in.

I would normally view "chemistry" as a stressful topic; however, Mer made the content enjoyable and very easy to comprehend. He also answered all questions clearly to the class. Mer found his calling! We were lucky to be recipients of the knowledge of Dr. Stewart.

I learned so much about YL Oils, about the 2 therapies and about the Biblical perspective. I felt like not only did I learn a wonderful technique, but felt a deeply spiritual connection to my use of oils with others and in myself. Joanna & Mer are beautiful, faith-filled instructors who deeply care about what they do and who they teach. Thank You! This was life-changing!

Mer’s chemistry class was excellent.  I wish he was my high school chemistry teacher!  Joanna had a warmth and compassion and knowledgeable.  I feel very blessed to have these two for my teacher.

This is a beautiful program which allowed for both my growth in understanding and in spirit.  What I have experienced in these courses will affect my practice and my personal journey.  Thank you for the experience.

Absolutely incredible. I was thoroughly amazed at what I learned.  I would highly recommend this program to everyone.

The program was very intensive and different then others I have read in books - Everyone should attend a program of this nature!

Joanna and her husband Mer are very gentle and soft spoken folks. Teaching comes natural to both of them. I felt at ease asking questions during lectures and while doing the Raindrop Technique. I am grateful to have experienced an "expert" RT and especially being able to share with others. Thanks so much. Looking forward to more education on oils.

My first exposure to Vitaflex and I feel a calling! Joanna Barrett is a natural teacher. She really made it all understandable and fun!
