Hear what our students say

 

I have successfully completed the Deep tissue Massage and Advance Massage techniques courses with Robert.  Being full day courses meant I expected to get very bored just watching the clock waiting for morning break, lunch break and then home time!

Fortunately I found Robert was able to hold my attention through the whole day.  If I found something difficult to understand Robert was very approachable and had a lot of patience with me.  I have completed quite a few massage courses and found the way a teacher comes across can install within me confusion and frustration or motivation and confidence.

I found his information sheets to be very clear and precise making them very simple to interpret and understand.  Over all I found his courses to be fun and enjoyable.  Organised, open and relaxing without losing the attention and professionalism expected from teachers.

I recommend Roberts courses to anyone who wants to do courses in Complementary Therapies or further their studies.

Thank you very much for the fantastic class.

I enjoyed it a lot and I have got A LOT OF new knowledge.

My decision was right to choose your course in Advanced Massage Techniques.
You have a lot of knowledge.
You prepared a lot.
And you have charisma as teacher.

I am so glad that I found your school as I have done so many courses at other schools in London.  The quality was variable and often I felt that the teachers were either not well informed, not good or not practicing therapists or they were simply not very good teachers.  The whole experience was often completely frustrating and worse, a waste of time and money.  At Integrated Body Dynamics I learnt so much.  The classes are small, like 4 to 6 students.  I attended Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Advanced Massage Techniques and Deep Tissue Massage.  The teacher Robert Donkers was truly amazing.  He is very clear, patient, funny and gives each student a lot of individual time.  I learnt so many new skills.  I feel like a complete new therapist and my clients have noticed the difference and love it.
I will enrol on next year courses, the medical massage courses as they sound very interesting.  Thank  you.
Mrs Diana Jones, Aromatherapist

 

I have trained with Robert in several postgraduate therapies; Manual Lymphatic and each time have found him a pleasure to be trained by.

Robert is a truly inspirational tutor who is very motivating, supportive and easy to approach.

He explains everything clearly and is very patient with all students regardless of their experience and knowledge.

I highly recommend others to embark on training courses that are run by Robert.

Courses with Robert are always fun and engaging.  His passion and enthusiasm for his work is extremely contagious and it is an absolute delight to be taught by such an approachable and professional teacher.  I definitely recommend learning with him.

"I've really enjoyed the courses I've taken with Robert, there's no wasted time with information that isn't necessary that you get with some courses so you just get straight in there learning what you've paid for - highly recommended"

Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful Crystal Healing Practitioners Course in such an interesting and informal fashion. I loved it. Jen and Joy were lovely and I'll miss you all. I'd such a wonderful, uplifting week. Best wishes,

"Having practised Swedish massage for just over two years, I was keen on expanding my services to help clients with common complaints like stiff necks and leg pains. I would not be satisfied with my work with simple effleurage and petrissage when working on them. It never did give the pain relief that they needed.

I decided to do the course medical massage and did not regret it one bit. The bonus was that I could do any module and did not have to do the whole course. Even then Robert did not hesitate to show me techniques that I had to know in the first module. He was very professional yet very approachable and very patient.

The course work was very precise and easy to understand and a lot more was taught besides that. I came out with greater practical knowledge and understanding of pain relief than ever. Thanks to Robert's teaching. What is more, it was just as much fun!"

Hi Robert,
 
I just wanted to say thank you for such a great course the other weekend, I really enjoyed it and feel that I learnt alot in the short time we had
I also wanted to say thank you for the additional questions and answers session at the end, it has really helped me to target some difficult conditions I have been faced with!
 
I may look into booking onto the Advanced Massage techniques course next year, but for now I am far too busy!!

For now I wish you all the best in your fantastic training school!
 
Thanks once again

Thank you for the wonderful teaching on Saturday. I really enjoyed finally to get on a Hopi Ear Candling course! Your teaching was very enjoyable and time flowed by at a relaxing pace.

Hello Robert,
I wanted to thank you for a wonderful Indian Head Massage course yesterday. I learnt so many new techniques and massage movements in such a lovely atmosphere, it has re-ignited my desire to offer holistic massage therapies to others. Your knowledge of therapies and passion for promoting a holistic and wide ranged path to wellbeing is inspirational. Julie and I thought your teaching was both professional, attentive and fun, making the the 50+ mile trip from Oxfordshire well worth it.
