Student Testimonials

"Jon is a gracious and humble teacher who engages all of his students with reverence and equanimity. He creates a safe yet fun learning environment, where questions are honored and discussed openly. After recently taking his "Taste of Thai" workshop, I have already begun saving up to take his Thai Level I course."

-Julia, Registered Yoga Teacher

"Through some divine intervention, when I started my journey into bodywork, Jon's Thai Level I class was my very first bodywork experience in a structured environment, and his knowledge, passion and personality have affected my approach to this field ever since. Jon brings genuine experience to this unique modality; he is quick to share not only his knowledge but also the process that he himself went through to obtain this knowledge. His studies in Thailand have clearly imparted a certain 'spirituality' on him that I believe is vital to passing on both the 'spirit' and the techniques of any Eastern modality. I would highly recommend his workshops and courses to anyone interested in learning this ancient healing art. From the beginner levels to the advanced levels, I think anyone would benefit from spending some time receiving Jon's instruction."

- James, Licensed Massage Therapist

"Thai Level I is an amazing class. Jon not only shares his amazing gift for teaching this ancient healing art, but he leads you briefly on a journey of self-discovery. His knowledge, patience, humor, and humanity leaves you filled with grace and humility.
I am so grateful to have been a part of this class."

-Krista, Hospice Care Nurse

"I came prepared to take a continuing education class after having had several great teachers in the past, but in Jon's class I was not only taught by a great teacher; I was taught by a master. He taught me how to love myself, how to give with passion, and how to see into the hearts of others. As a massage therapist myself, it has always been hard for me to receive until this class. I am grateful to have received Jon's knowledge, compassion, and his overall gentle, kind and beautiful soul."

-Robin, Licensed Massage Therapist

"I wish that I had discovered traditional Thai massage at the beginning of my career. Jon is an excellent practitioner and a sincere teacher. I think anyone would benefit from taking his courses and completing the therathai Practitioner Certification Program. I, for one, would like to see more well-trained Thai therapists out there!"

- Ellen, Small-business Owner

"Jon's authentic approach to teaching this traditional healing art has overflowed into every facet of my life. As a bodyworker and a yoga teacher, I continually draw on the wisdom he has passed on to me. After just a few days of receiving Jon's instruction, my tablework was transformed. My previous teachers in massage school corrected my body mechanics on specific movements, but Jon's approach has given me a comprehensive foundation for good body mechanics. Before Jon's class, I had been giving bodywork in a way that made my body tired and sore, and now I am more equipped to take better care of myself when I am giving. The way Jon teaches always feels authentic and connected to a place that allows compassion and spontaneity to flow. I am always inspired, restored and deeply grateful after learning from him."
