Björn and the rest of us at the School of Naprapathy would like to send our warmest thanks to everyone who took the time to write—over 700 of you! Many of you also took the opportunity to put into words what your naprapathic education has meant to you. Hearing this from former students means so much to us; it warms Björn’s heart and all of ours, and we feel immense gratitude and pride.
Below, we have compiled a few quotes from your messages:

Happy birthday, Björn. Because of you, I’ve been able to work as a naprapath. I’ve traveled the world as a naprapath and experienced everything from Nordic and European championships to World Championships and the Olympics. Now, I’m enjoying all the memories and taking things a bit easier.

Thank you, Björn, for making it possible for all of us to work in our fantastic profession!
