"Dr. Bruce Hocking has an extensive background in acupuncture with a lot of clinical experience. Dr. Hocking has very good teaching skills, and can practically and theoretically deliver his message well. I would speak very strongly for Dr. Bruce Hocking to be available as a teacher and resource as our continued Acupuncture education here in this community.

"I am a pain management nurse in Phoenix, AZ. I have been in the field of nursing for 17 years. For the last 10 years I have had the opportunity to work with the life span of people in pain from neonate to the elderly. My background in the pain management field had been helping those in pain with administering pain medication, using comfort measures such as massage, aromatherapy, music, relaxation and humor. As a nurse, I have always had the belief that people need more than medication to heal. In November, 1997, a whole new world opened up to myself and my patients! I signed up for a workshop on E.T.P.S. Therapy.

I found Bruce Hocking to be a great teacher, and one that inspires you to learn and who challenges you to grow. Bruce’s teaching style speaks for itself. He is enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable in his field. Bruce empowers students, promotes confidence within, and the ‘I can’t’ attitudes are left at the door. Bruce also has a simple twist of humor in his workshops making learning fun. A great teacher opens the door, it is the students choice which direction to take.

I would highly recommend Bruce Hocking for any professional audience, especially for nurses so they too can reach out and make a difference in the management of pain. For any questions, feel free to call me."

I have been in the Nursing field since 1963, and little did I know what an experience I was about to share. What a truly awesome experience!!
I want to thank both you Bruce, and Jody for taking the time, effort, and interest in assisting me with my own personal recovery."
