I just wanted to thank you for your excellent presentation at the vet school. I have gotten a lot of feedback and everyone LOVED your talk! I’ve been hearing comments about how it was immediately practical/useful and that it helped put other nutrition information in perspective for them. Everyone also appreciated how neatly you broke the topic down in a way that makes it easy to think through quickly and very client friendly to explain.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the OCEN Full Length course! Natalie has an incredible way of explaining things, so that you not only understand, but stay interested and are sad when the class is over for the night. She has fact based knowledge, not just testimonials, and a fair and unbiased approach to presenting her material. I highly, highly recommend this course!"
