Both are trained in the Integrated Systems Model and take a whole body, whole person approach to their care. The strength of Trish and Anniken's teamwork is in their differences and the space they create for the diversity in physio styles. They are passionate about using teaching approaches that allow for all types of learning, reasoning and personalities, whilst also offering structured frameworks for mentees to use while they find their own path.Links to contact Anniken and Trishhttps://www.instagram.com/thecheerfulacademy/https://www.thecheerfulacademy.com/Email Anniken: [email protected] Trish: [email protected] for joining me!
