“Don was an encyclopedia of bodywork and modality information. I loved having him as my teacher. We would stay longer to listen and learn and then apply. He has continued to assist me through my years of having my own business, I have worked along side him at events and charitable events. He loves what he does and he loves to share his gift. I highly recommend Don Spade.” March 7, 2009

Thank you so much for a great seminar.  It was great to see so many familiar faces from our class and catching up.  The seminar was extremely motivating and reminded me why I do massage, relaxation is important but to find, track and assist in muscle and tension relief & release and to be able to professionally promote that within my business was greatly recognized.  Please keep me posted on your seminars, I do believe that when we gather in groups great information is shared and paid forward in our business.

Again – great to see you and the group.

“I have been going to Don for massages for 10 years. Don is thorough and works with each client to complete a satisfactory massage as they want or need. I have done a little inservicing in his classes and am impressed that he works to include information on other occupations and services that are out there. I recommend Don without reservation.”

“Don's teaching and instructing methods are superior. His in-depth knowledge and passion for Massage Therapy are well known. His continual learning helps his teaching. Each person in his seminars/classes comes away with a great set of tools to begin working immediately. Attending his seminars are always fun and exciting! Price is always very reasonable.” 

Paul McSweeney

“I can honestly say I owe my education, my career as a licensed massage therapist, and my thirst to learn more to Don. I was a student of Don's 9 years ago. Then I appreciated his patience with my never ending questions, his painstaking attention to detail, and his ability to clearly explain muscles and kinesiology. Now I have become aware of how much his instruction has truly impacted my understanding of which massage technique is needed and where, how much pressure is to be used, and when to start focusing on a different area. I sincerely feel blessed to this day that I was fortunate enough to learn from a man who he, himself, yearns to learn more each day.”

    Don is definitely an expert in the field of massage therapy. I have personally received body work for relaxation and specific muscular problems for many years from him.     I attended massage therapy school in 2004 headed up by Don. His profound knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and the art of massage therapy was easily instilled with his method of instruction. The hands on clinical instruction was equally as rewarding. I will always be grateful for his hand in guiding me into my own rewarding career as a massage therapist!!"

“I attended a seminar where Don was the instructor. I was blown away! Don has a way of explaining and demonstrating techniques that is clear and easy to understand. I was able to take what he taught me and immediately put it work. I've completely changed my massage routine and my clients love it. Not only are my clients receiving a more thorough massage but the techniques have made giving the massage easier on my body. Thank you, Don! I can hardly wait for the next seminar.  ”

“I highly recomment Don in his expertise of therapuetic massage. I was a student of his in 2005, which gave me a clear understanding of his ability and knowledge. His wisdom and experience in his field is extensive and his understanding of the human body and how it works is second to none. I would refer anyone who is looking for a reputable therapuetic massage therapist, to Don. He truly cares about helping your body return to a place of "health".”
