Ms. MEDEK (not related to Mr. MEDEK)

Of all the Medek therapists in North America Esther Fink is certainly the most well known.

This is Dr. Esther Fink:

She has been in the executive of several professional associations including serving as the Eastern Canadian chairperson for the American Neurodevelopmental Treatment Association.

Esther Fink is NOT a certified teacher in CME/MEDEK. She is definitely NOT the best known MEDEK practioner in Canada. And she absolutely DID NOT introduce MEDEK/CME to Canada!

As a parent of a child with special needs, I sincerely hope that anyone reeeeallly looking for true facts about CME therapy visits www.cuevasmedek.com. This blog has many many mistakes regarding the therapy.
