Healing Arts Classes Reviews
Excerpts from a few of our recent reviews:
“Thai massage is a love connection between therapist and recipient to benefit both. Balance body, mind and spirit. Peace!!!”
- Nara H
“Thai massage is a great tool for energy work. I enjoy the simplicity of the poses and the spiritual aspect of learning about your own body.
I like how Thai massage incorporates a lot of Eastern medicine and Hatha Yoga, because I practice Sampoorna Hatha Yoga and enjoy the shiatsu/acupressure energy lines work.
I also like being on the floor and creating beingness on the floor in your hara.”
- - Jon W
“Life has brought me here. Years ago, I began this journey of finding my higher self in this world. And in this journey I’ve come across this wonderful experience of Thai Massage: a perfect communion among body, soul and spirit.
Thai massage moves you deeply in every sense and every layer of your physical and ethereal body. It has given me trust, love and tranquility that I give to my clients and receive from them in infinite ways. This is the best reward of all: the gratitude, the smiles, the friendship it brings into my life and those whom I’m helping.”
- Sandra R
“I took this training to learn the art of Thai Massage for my partner yoga practice, to understand in greater detail the teachings that my partner in our workshops offered to our students.
The training has deepened my understanding of the levels of energy movement through the body and the extent to which the free movement of these channels can give immediate healing.
It is necessary for me to know the protocols, but more to deepen my sense of healing ‘touch,’ and to add this focus to my yoga teaching.
The greatest gift is the clear sense of compassion and love offered from giver to receiver and receiver to giver.”
- Marion R
“Journey to me, journey to you, journey to unity. Journey through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Compassion in action. Meditation in action.”
- Barbara R
“Thai Massage is for me a return to the self. A return to the self because both the giver and the recipient have the privilege and joy to become one with themselves once again. Especially in a world where outside obligations seem to take over and we forget to love the person we are. For me, I feel like Thai Massage and its message of unconditional love will be a part of my life forever and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to share the experience with future clients. The fact that there is so much to learn only makes me more excited at the fact there’s always going to be a next and the journey will never end.”
- Nicole P
“Thai Massage has been an enlightening experience that has opened new dimensions and horizons for me in all aspects.
First of all, as a human being it has revived my energy and made me more aware and in tune with myself. To understand that staying healthy is a never-ending daily work and that we never stop learning. Every day is a gift as well as a unique experience.
In the social aspect of my life, I can feel how it can always help me connect with people in a more subtle and deeper way.
As a healthcare professional, I feel it’s going to help me complement an aspect of my care I have been wanting to discover and never paid real attention before or didn’t believe in it too much. Throughout time, I have learned that health is a tri-dimensional state (body, mind and spirit). I feel this is the beginning of becoming a very nurturing and empathetic healer, to be able to live by example and to be able to help the people that come across my path because there is meaning to every single thing we see and do in this extensive universe we dance in every day.
Thank you always. Namaste!!!”

“It’s balance. Open and flowing energy that embraces and encompasses only love. So far for me, I feel Thai Massage as a therapist will raise my gift of healing with self and others to a whole new and higher level. Thai Massage is an answer to my meditation and prayer. I ask and intend to be thankful and grateful for all that comes through me and not just that which comes to me. Thai Massage is an opening to a journey of discovery and remembrance, guided by all and only in the most pure and compassionate love. It fills me up.”
- Bobby E
“Thai Massage—ancient healing art expands my ability to tap into the major energy source, the part of the source and be part of the creation of healing space, allowing me to help others to heal themselves using visualizations and energy, stretching and balancing, clearing chakras and removing blocks to allow healing to occur.”
- Suzanne K
“It’s amazing how you can transfer and feel energy between people and change negative thoughts to positive ones, forget the material and be more spiritual.”

Universal love
nurturing from the mother soul
compassion from the mother earth
healing within and without
flowing, waving, floating, flying
on the endless sea of cosmic energy
one with all that ever was and ever will be
one with all around me
twisting, turning in a world of stars
infinite and transient
warm glow of the moon raining into the portal of life
traveling without eyes, without feet
on the road of the sun
giving light
living light
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Thai family LOVE.
"Jairo and Dennis,
I would like to thank you both again for a beautiful weekend.
You guys were such a pleasure to learn/practice with.
You gave us tools that will inspire me to experiment and develop my practice where limits are none - to creativity.
Words are not enough to express the lovely experience............
Love, joy and in good spirits and health,
Joseph Tolila".
"Excellent class! perfect blend; the instructors took time to meet individual needs and questions; the Thai Yoga course taught me information that I crave, meet CEUs and gave many tools to use in a Yoga Class.
This past weekend has definitely impacted and changed my life! I am listening for guidance for what is to come next for me.
Looking forward to our paths crossing again".
Julie LaCroix
Yoga Instructor
“I didn’t’ expect such a wonderful encounter. It is a great gift that the universe has given to me this weekend,
not only because of the material and efficiency of the course, but because of the right persons to instruct it.
I have found in Thai Massage something I have been looking for ever since I begin practicing; the balance of the spiritual and energy work combined with the mechanics and efficiency of the therapy. This combination makes work very playful and enjoyable, extending the benefits not only to the receiver but the giver as well.
The way Jairo and Dennis deliver the culture and tradition of this ancient technique makes me feel comfortable and want to go deeper into it. Like a purpose that can be known, delivered easily with love and pure intention”.
Natalia Aguirre
“ Great union of technical, spiritual & emotional vital information; Thai Massage for me is a new way to experience, feel & benefit the body, both my own, as well as that of those I have worked with during this seminar. The fluidity and gracefulness and truly dance-like nature of the practice is something I hope to incorporate into my current practice. The core strength and lower body groundedness required to move recipient’s through each Thai pose is a facet of the Thai practice I wasn’t aware of until this class, and that I hope to improve with Pilates or yoga. I also have really enjoyed the beauty and power of the simple techniques combined with the energetic & emotional nature of the practice. I also wish to incorporate the breathing exercises we practiced here in my current practice. Thank you so much. The workshop has taught me not only about massage but about the importance of the connection between the two engaged in the massage, and about how I can truly help people with touch.”
Marren Sachs
“Excellent class;
Love my handbook and pictures to help me remember.
This is like a fresh air. I feel like I am more at peace with myself. I find myself being able to breathe while doing these movements. For the past few years I have forgotten to breathe while working on my clients. I feel like it is Now time for change. I want to enjoy what I do, not just work and make money;
I want to heal in the inside not just the outside.
I also want to share this with my clients I want them to experience peace from within”

“Amazing,
Awesome,
Enlightening,
Flawless Class!
Thai Massage taught me all about myself.
Thai Massage is Happiness!!
Knowing how and believing that I can help people (my clients) be released from their prison which is their bodies,
and to bring Joy back into their lives and heal their souls.”
Kelly Woodworth
“Thai massage is freedom- from yesterday, what was. Thai massage is present- NOW- live in the moment suspended in time- at each moment- let the moment unwind the way is meant to. Thai massage is acceptance- individual, self, others, is a state of being.
Is Peace- internal/external-Mind, body, emotion & spirit. Thai is gentle, calm, balance, neutralizes mind, body, emotions, spirit. It is potential. It is Love, is energy free and flowing.
Excellent, organized, course material, presentation, fabulous demonstrations, excellent feedback
and the instructors were loving, compassionate.- Wonderful energy!”
Denise Doroba
“I’ve always wanted to do Thai massage, from when I was in school for massage. That is why this is the first class I’ve actually taken outside of regular massage school.
I’ve learned a lot about it that I never expected. When they told me in school they never said anything about the spiritual part of it, only that it was a lot of stretching. I am so glad to have Jairo and Dennis as my teachers because I feel like they have covered the full aspect, or as much as they could have in this short weekend.
I have learned so much, I can’t wait to apply this in my actual work”
Britney Clarke
“Pure compassion grace, a silent song, ancient wisdom, a whispering wind
The uncovered tale of truth within a rhythmic dance, stillness, bliss, insight & within
The silence of a higher of human kind…
Thank you teachers for non judgment and compassion for each of us
- It was dispersed very evenly. Much love Mariya”
Mariya Milano
“Is the communion between giver and receiver”
Juan Manuel Lombo
“I feel that Thai Massage has helped me to focus on bringing more energy back into my practice.
It feels like a balance of Reiki and massage.
I like the spiritual foundation of the techniques and the emphasis placed on the chakras.
I feel that the course has helped me get back to what it is I know and like about “bodywork.”
It is unfortunately easy to slip back into working in just a practical mode because of the type of environment I work in.
This is a nice reminder for me to try to incorporate more of the spiritual which is really what makes the work so effective.
Spiritual reminders…
Slowing down…
Connecting”
Lisa Daniel
“Thai is natural in me is old.
I feel very comfortable doing it, and it is always, always different. I can create, I can always learn more and more from me and my clients.
It’s a healing state (for client and me) it’s specific and broad.
This course gave me the confidence on spiritual aspect that I knew it was there but I left it aside in my sessions.
Thank you Jairo and Dennis.
Namaste”
Irene Lopez Campos
“Thai Massage for me is a multi-modality approach
to giving a client the very deep awareness required for easy movement. It makes many other modalities, particularly many of the very dry western approaches, seem shallow and heartless.
Thai massage encourages me to truly have a dialogue with another person’s body and I feel it may open me up to an energetic realm that I would otherwise be unaware of”
Andrew Fabian
“Thai massage is my meditation,
my reminder of my true original intention I had when I choose to do bodywork
I desire to connect and facilitate healing and self-discovery through my practice.
It is the door to myself and pure simple love”
Everything was great, really loved and enjoyed myself.
I got a lot already over the weekend & I am confident that I will continue to receive from this experience”
Tracy Rose
“First and most important for me is the spiritual side of Thai Massage. Second would be the feeling I get from the stretching “ openings in my body” I also like giving, especially when I know how good it is for them and how much I am helping them. I want to learn how the internal body works, so I can improve my external material life.
I want to find the peace inside me so I can pass this onto my family, friends and clients.
I Love the work. Thank you for everything”
Patricia Wilborn
"Dear JaiC and Dennis,
It was such a pleasure to meet you both and to experience your teaching, spirit, and grace! I so enjoyed the whole experience. You both give so much to your teaching, to the creation of community, and to honoring the traditions of Thai Massage. Thank you so so much! I will have great memories of my time with you in Florida and will look forward to the next time!"
Teri Anderson, LMT
" --like the Butterfly, all the beauty of Thai massage cannot be captured, it is beautiful and should be made available for all the world to enjoy. It is all at once touching and about freedom.
Thank you

Laura Gutierrez, LMT
"
" I truly appreciated the Hands-On experience that I obtained thru this magnificent modality that helps the practitioners integrate themselves totally with the client- I can incorporate that in my private practice. Thank you for a wonderful experience along with both your charisma and charm. The way the class was designed and taught along with the instructors knowledge were superb."
Jacqueline De La Fe, LMT
" Excellent! Learning new techniques that I can apply in my sessions changed my mind about Thai Massage; now I can understand a little more about the body and all it's connections as breathing, feelings, etc, etc."
Alex Fonseca, LMT
" Excellent! This was the first class that I have attended where I felt that appropriate time was devoted to Hands-On work; it was great to be able to see Thai work modified so that it can be used in a "traditional American" setting. I feel more in tuned with the clients' needs."
Lisa Howie, LMT
" I am leaving this Thai Massage Class inspired to experiment and to learn more; what a loving, effective, hands-on, wonderful, informative experience. Thank you!!!"
Jana Kravitz, LMT
" Excellent- Nice flow once we learned the sequences and transitions, this new information will make me a better therapist, and it will help me transition to my next career. I need to acknowledge my strengths more and maximize my potential; I feel more balanced, open and more relaxed. I will experiment with level one for aches and pains when clients come. Thank you for the awesome class, your inspiration, love and energy! Wish you the best and look forward to the next class!! You all are it for me until I become THAI Certified!!!!
Love you! Miss the LOVE, PEACE, and JOY smell!"
Lori Ray, LMT NC
" LomiLomi is the creation of a sacred space whereby we are a witness and facilitator to the re-harmonization of the mind, body, and spirit with the energy / life force of the universe by freeing the receiver of all limitations and blockages.
It is healing
It is an awakening of your senses
It is purification
It is infinite waves of all encompassing energy
It is Mana
It is light as it is heavy
It is space without past or future but only the now
It is balance, grace and movement
It is a rainbow of emotion
It is a shower of compassion
It is hearts, minds, and spirits melding
It is Ho’oponopono
It is reconnection of physical, emotional and spiritual selves
It is warm intention
It is HA
It is the physical application of prayer (Pule)
It makes right what is wrong
It is a gift
It is the soul in flight
It is the shark, whale, spider, dolphin, salmon, Corey, Perla, Michael, Sandy, Dennis, Jairo, my family and friends
It is the ying and the yang
It is Free
It is love.
Thank you Dennis and JaiC. Words can't express what
you guys have opened for me."
Angus Michael Choo Quan
" In the Native American Culture, life and health is represented by the medicine wheel. It represents all stages of life. Thai massage is similar, and connecting with 5 element theory the recipient, it is also a highly spiritual experience. It heals the whole body, mind, and spirit for all stages of life.” Excellent class, I gained more knowledge than I expected to receive; the instructors made it a priority to connect with each student personally, creating a perfect learning experience.*
Beth Gray-Shaw, LMT
"Thai massage is grounding and centering yet energetic as well. To me, energy is everywhere and connects us to everything around us, especially heaven and earth. Thai massage also represents freedom to me, Freedom on many levels…--thought, practice and movement are just a few of these levels.” I understood why this was done and I appreciated the experience... having taken Thai on the Table I & II before I learned another way of engraving the techniques into my consciousness. Thank you for a wonderful class."
Carlos Sessler, LMT
"Excellent class! Thai massage opened me for a different point of view about the connection between our bodies and how they affect each other. Thai massage gives a possibility to see things on the client’s body and out of us more clear, and to understand how this world we live in works, and how important is our microcosm as a part of the whole. Working with the energies and understanding better the connection between our physical, energetic, and emotional bodies. You not only helped me to understand this, but to "feel" the way it works."
Lyudmila Danova, LMT
"Thai massage is a method to enter into a healing space of an individual safely, respectfully, and unobtrusively to bring healing.
…Like the dragonfly moving wings that allows it to look like it is standing still in space.
Thai massage allows me while dancing in a receiver's healing space to appear to be still while maintains the contact with the receiver.
Excellent class. Beyond my expectations. JaiC and Dennis bring unique styles, share their enthusiasm for Thai massage and communicate this enthusiasm beautifully...Traditional Thai massage levels I and II teach you ways to energize your bodywork. You will leave wanting more."
Amy Braeslin, LMT
" Excellent! Very educational, fun, loving, peaceful & spiritual. I am so glad to be able to be with you this past weekend. This whole experience had more then the obvious purpose- learning Thai massage. It was so nice to spend a weekend surrounded by men who looked at me as spirit of human, not a woman. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Gosha Kowalczyk, LMT 52217
"Fantastic! It was beautiful and fulfilling. Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience. It was an intense weekend full of a great deal of information, but I'm beginning to assimilate it all. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to finally have met you. JaiC and Dennis you are both beautiful people and my life is enhanced having both of you as part of it. "
Carlos Sessler. LMT 51374
Excellent! I was impressed with the instructors. Me encanto conocerlos y poder haber compartido un fin de semana de Thai massage en la mesa, fue bien intenso y emocional para mi. Nos vemos en la proxima practica que tengan, I am going to keep studying ..."
Jonathan De Castro, LMT MT 041092
"I felt very very comfortable, the Lomilomi experience was a deepening experience, wonderful, with new perspectives. Thank you for bringing me even closer to my spirit. Today I did a massage and incorporated some of the Lomilomi moves. However I especially tried to be aware how I move my hips. I could feel that she was out after some time. After the massage my friend and client said: you took another massage class I can tell, I was out and also felt loved and just so........unexplainable!! Thanks to you again!! My heart feels so good!!! LOVE IRMA ."
Irma Stalder, LMT
"Excellent class. Refreshed & deepened my Lomilomi practice. What I learned about Lomilomi a year ago, I thought, was very intimate comparing to other modalities; this class was even more intimate. I experienced a different approach of Lomi. It was an eye opener to see how it is done. All the spiritual principles and concepts mentioned are nice to be incorporated in. "
Jason Dillon, LMT 49798
"Excellent! I enjoyed it immensely; the hands-on demonstration and hands-on practice were extremely effective and fundamental to my learning experience. Personally I learned to give love thru touch. Spiritually to be present for the recipient. "
Alex Calvo
" This Lomi class was beyond excellent! The setting was perfect for me to see & follow; the energy of the Hawaiian temple amazing. The whole LomiLomi experience was a bliss. Loved the book and pictures, I liked the history and explanation of the Hawaiian philosophy and meaning behind in a simple language. The hands on practice & experience allowed me to understand the Lomilomi practice in every level, it strengthened my intuitive feelings, I feel very confident despite completing only Level I. Thank you very much for the class. I have learned a lot and fell deeply in love with LomiLomi."
