Testimonials 

level I

Incredible RMT and Teacher. I recently completed my Thai Massage Course with Andre and he is so patient, extremely knowledgeable and makes the course so enjoyable. He takes notice of how each student learns, then explains & demonstrates everything so clearly that everyone understands.

The course itself was affordable and I left confident in what I learnt. I would highly recommend. I will be going back to him in the future to continuing my training. He is a human FULL of incredible experience and information.

I have had the honor to take the level 1 Traditional Thai Massage training/course with Andre recently. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He’s knowledgeable, approachable and patient. He also tailors the teaching method based on student’s individual learning styles, to create the best learning experience. Additional to an excellent teacher, he’s also a phenomenal therapist with a wonderful heart. He travels more than 2 hours away to treat my mother because she’s not able to travel. With a wealth of knowledge from Thai massage, Chi Nei Tsang, Shiatsu, TCM and more, he uses an innovative treatment method to help my mother with lumbar, hip and leg pain. His treatment was soothing, calming, no pain, but surprisingly effective. Only after one treatment, my mom was having a lot less pain and regain a lot of mobility. We will definitely seek treatment from him again and I will take more courses/training from him in the future.

Andre is hands down the best RMT I have ever been to.

He’s immensely knowledgeable, skilled, professional and very efficient.

I’m blessed to have him as my therapist and teacher 

I have experiences and completed his brilliant Thai Massage course recently.

He’s very attentive and passionate about what he does and it reflects in the way he instructs you.

​

If you are seeking for an amazing therapist and a teacher, that you can feel is invested in you, Andre is the one!

I took Andre’s Thai Massage course this summer and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. You can tell he has done a lot of work enhancing his manual therapy skills and that he loves to share the knowledge he has learnt. I am looking forward to his next course this fall!!!

 

S. Davidson

level II

I’ve taken two of Andre’s Thai Massage courses, both the level I & II now and he’s a phenomenal teacher.

It is clear he has taken the time and practice to develop his own skills and to seek knowledge from a variety of teachers throughout his career. This makes Andre a well of information and his patience, professionalism and open approach to things make him an excellent teacher to learn from.

 

I can’t recommend taking his courses enough for any practitioner looking to expand their skill set or knowledge.

 

But also, having been treated by him through the hours of the courses I can also confidently say he makes for a fantastic Massage Therapist not just teacher. He is calm, patient, kind and genuinely seeks to understand why you are in discomfort or pain and try to help you figure it out and help you work towards whatever your treatment goals are.
