Robert Donkers
Director. Sports Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist, Aromatherapist, Healer and Clinical Hypnotherapist
As one of the founding directors of Integrated Body Dynamics, I’m proud to be part of a team dedicated to holistic healing and empowering others through bodywork and energy therapies.
With roots in Indonesia, massage has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a household where healing through touch was second nature, I was introduced early on to the therapeutic power of massage. My father would massage us with aromatic oils and balms whenever we were feeling unwell. More often than not, by the next morning, we were well enough to return to school – much to my disappointment as a child!
Massage wasn’t just something I received – it was something I practised from a young age. I learned to use not just my hands but also my feet, walking gently on my mother’s back to ease her pain. We also used traditional cupping methods to treat a range of ailments. This upbringing laid the foundation for a lifelong passion in holistic healing.
Before becoming a full-time therapist, I worked as an Information Officer at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and as Registrar at the British School of Osteopathy. These roles deepened my understanding of the healthcare landscape and inspired me to pursue hands-on healing.
As a multi-qualified practitioner and certified personal trainer, I work with a wide variety of clients – from professional dancers, boxers and runners to office workers, new mothers and those recovering from surgery or injury. My background allows me to assess and treat injuries with a comprehensive approach that integrates movement, strength, and recovery.
What I enjoy most is helping people feel better. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing someone walk into the treatment room in pain and leave feeling restored. No two sessions are ever the same – I tailor each treatment to the specific needs of the client, whether they’re seeking relief from injury or simply in need of relaxation.
*Starting in 2026, I’ll also be offering Clinical Hypnotherapy – a powerful approach that can support healing from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, weight issues, and more.
