"You're an INCREDIBLE teacher and I can't thank you enough for all the tips and corrections you sent my way. I hope our paths cross again soon."

"After attending Deon's Guided Partner - Weekend Workshop, at Exhale in NYC, I have developed a new affinity for Thai Yoga Therapy. I have been to Thailand and received Thai Massage and never experienced the same opening and surrendering as I felt while receiving Deon's energetic practice. I have also gone to other, similar trainings, but had not fully comprehended the practice until attending this workshop. I have learned so much in a weekend - more than I have in all my collective prior experiences and training in Thai Massage and Thai Yoga Therapy. Many thanks to Deon for sharing his knowledge and love."
- Anna Carbonell, Yoga Coordinator, Exhale MindBodySpa, New York City
"Thank you so much for the class you taught here this week. The feedback has been great and it is a pleasure working with you. Some of the students' comments: '... really enjoyed the practical.' 'It over exceeded any expectations that I had.' 'Learnt a whole new treatment, was fantastic.' "
- Lauren Buchan-Swanson, Senior Instructor, London, United Kingdom
"Les Nouvelles Esthetiques SA, South Africa's leading professional spa magazine, was proud to have hosted Deon as one of our speakers at our 3rd Annual Spa Conference. Deon provided his insight and knowledge to delegates from all over the African continent. Based on their feedback, he was one of the highlights of our speaker program.
His knowledge and professionalism, whilst conducting a Thai Yoga Therapy Foundation Course, after the Conference, allowed for spa therapists to gain the keys to this remarkable art form that he teaches. We look forward to his future visits in South Africa, where we already have a waiting list for his return."
- Dr Nadine de Freitas, Managing Editor, Johannesburg, South Africa
"The International Dermal Institute, the world's leading provider of postgraduate education in skin and body therapy, is a proud host to Deon's Thai Yoga Therapy workshops at our training centers in the US and abroad.
Student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we are always delighted to invite Deon to lend his unique approach and results-oriented regimen to our skin care therapists. Our students have declared that Deon's teaching style, level of expertise, depth of knowledge and passion for Thai Massage far exceeds their expectations.
With stringent criteria for whom we bring onto our roster as a guest lecturer, we have been very pleased with Deon's reception not only in the US, but also in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand."
- Annet King, Director of Training and Development, Carson, USA
"I am always looking for ways we can do things better at the Medspa - particularly how to enhance our clients' experience. After having such an incredible, educational and insightful session at one of Deon's workshops I knew that I needed to incorporate some of his techniques into our services."
*- Colin Hurren, CEO, Skin Deep Laser Medspa, Pasadena, USA *
"I'm using all those techniques you showed us that Sunday, and they are great. Thank you SOOOOOO much. They have saved my palms, thumbs and arms - and back, even."
- Georgina Purple, Thai Massage Therapist, Los Angeles, USA
"Thank you again for the amazing training. Your teaching was a rich offering filled with technique, heart and healing energy. It was to my amazement how my Anusara (Yoga) training blended so well with this therapy. They are great tools to learn. I have been using them in my classes as well as with my private clients. As you suggested, I did one person a week to practice and now I have regular paying clients. What a true gift. I look forward to learning more so I can serve the community even better."
- Hillary Rubin, Yoga Instructor, West Hollywood, USA
"Thank you for conducting such a wonderful and successful course for the International Dermal Institute in Australia. The students absolutely loved the course and want more! It was phenomenal and has been one of the most successful courses we have run - thank you."
- Leanne Rigney, Divisional Education Manager, Sydney, Australia
"The result of this way of working was to open the body in a much deeper way, I felt like areas that had never been open before were finally getting to breathe, almost like having a light shone into a dark place.
I was so amazed at how my body was feeling that I decided to come back for the following days instruction. Upon my return to New York I continued to feel the benefits of the practice as well as Deon's way of teaching.
If you are reading this flyer and if you are even thinking for a second that this may be something you would like to try.... do yourself a huge favor and sign up for the experience.... you'll never feel the same again."
- Catherine Owens, New York City, USA
"The therapy is working well within my practice and I enjoy giving this treatment so much ... Well, I just cannot thank you enough! I have adapted the treatment for my disabled clients and they love it. "
- Jean Simon, Spa Owner and Therapist, London, United Kingdom
"I studied Thai Yoga Therapy with Deon on my visit to Los Angeles last summer. Since then, I have been combining a lot of the Thai Yoga Therapy methods into my everyday practice. I feel that it has helped me develop as a knowledgeable Massage Therapist. Deon's a great teacher and was able to work the class well. No matter what level people were at - whether they were in the class to learn to be able to do this on friends and family or to take it on professionally - he was able to customize the class to fit everyone's individual needs."
- Joe Rubino, Certified Massage Therapist, London, United Kingdom
