I started this business because I had just finished a CPR class and thought to myself, I didn’t learn anything and if I had to do CPR, I wouldn’t know what to do! This is horrible!
Over the years, I learned different teaching techniques to incorporate into my class so everyone retains the information because we all learn differently. I don’t know how to describe it, but I literally see a look on people’s faces once they “get it”
After all these years, it still gives me a “High” to be up front teaching! You see my excitement and passion come out in every class. I incorporate CPR to real life situations in long term care. For example, I will show you how to do the Heimlich maneuver on someone who is a two person assist in a wheelchair. I promise, you will truly know what you need to do when the course is over.
