Testimonials

Disha Suhasaria

It was really nice to learn how can we become physiological first aid for people who are in need of it and we can reach them out in emergency! The best part was the learning process with the trainer, Ms. Gargi Vishnoi who is such a sweet and polite in nature who helped me to rebuild my confidence so that I can strongly stand for someone who urges help! She's a good listener and a speaker as well! Much thankful for her!

Srijita Chatterjee

It was a lovely experience, and I think it explains a lot of experiences that i have had in my life, with others and myself. I have learnt a lot and i have felt very strongly about the need for this training for everyone. The best part would be the way of imparting, the role play and the experiences. I think the concept of PFA is something that is extremely necessary in all of our lives. I think Ms. Vishnoi’s approach was very nice and I have really liked how she has conducted the classes.
