Testimonials

“Where do I even start? The amount of gratitude, appreciation, and love I have for this entity is truly overwhelming in the best way. I cannot say thank you enough for creating a hybrid program that allowed me to make it to graduation. What has separated y’all from every other program is your flexibility. With this, I was able to work a full-time job and attend classes live online or on my own time. It wasn’t until my remarkable hands-on training that everything in class clicked/made sense. In addition to the stellar staff and fabulous faculty, DIMS created a full learning experience with cadaver labs, aesthetician trade, and multiple therapeutic ways of self-care. I cannot think of one singular moment that I felt uncomfortable, uninformed or unengaged. The pedagogy of DIMS is one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. They have truly specialized this program to fit all types of learners. For me, the greatest fulfillment moment of my year with DIMS is being supported, encouraged and praised for integrating my past life experiences into my healing work. As a professional dancer, choreographer and instructor for the past 22 years, my primary focus at the beginning of this program was injury prevention/sports massage. Now, with everything that I’ve learned at DIMS I am capable and confident in my skill set to Mend bodies and minds. As a student of DIMS, I was afforded an opportunity to intern with some of the industries best upon graduating from DIMS, I’ve received a job offer and an opportunity to continue education. When I say that DIMS changed my life, I mean they gave me the knowledge, tools, and community to build a better life for myself and my family! My only hope is that one day, as an alumnus, I may give back to the outstanding program of the Denver Integrative Massage School.

From the bottom of my sole to the top of my crown, with everything I hold in my hands now… thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

With All My Love,

“Thank you soooo much!! I can’t even express how excited I am, and how grateful I am for my time spent at DIMS. This year has been so absolutely wild for all of us, but I must say that I have been thoroughly impressed with the staff, and all of the protocols that have taken place in order to keep everyone safe, while still gaining momentum on hours needed to graduate. I feel blessed for having met all of the amazing teachers and staff, and I truly will use what I’ve learned here at this school for the rest of my life. Thank you again for allowing me to pursue this opportunity at DIMS. This has been life-changing for me and my family, and I will be recommending this school for anyone who will listen.”

“Hi Hillary!! I just wanted to send you a message and let you know that I’m doing massage again and SO happy! I had a client tell me the other day that it felt like she had someone else’s neck after I worked on it. 🙂

I attribute my neck massage skills to my education from YOU!!! I will always remember our neck training days in school and to this day I’m able help people get out of neck pain!”

“The teachers at DIMS are passionate about massage and provide a fun, learning environment. They have studied with the best teachers in their fields, and they infuse their teaching with intelligence, compassion, and patience. All of the teachers are open and aware of Western and Eastern massage styles, and they combine the best of both worlds into every course. The students learn much of what is taught in Thailand and other Asian cultures, but with more of what a Western student is looking for — the “How?” and “Why?” — more emphasis on specific body mechanics and anatomy. Yet, they still leave room for, and encourage, students to feel into the energetic situation of each client, maintaining connection to a holistic intention and approach towards massage.”

“I am one of DIMS’s students. I took one of their ala carte Thai Massage courses almost 3 years ago. This was the best decision I could have made for my practice and myself. I own my own massage practice, am a CMT, and have been doing massage for close to 6 years now. I would say that Thai massage is now almost 50% of my clientele. Having already been a massage therapist, Thai massage has elevated my ability to treat clients on a whole, different level. Thai massage has also been friendlier to my body–not having to use my hands as much, knowing how to properly position my body on a Thai mat for maximum pressure, and knowing how to use my knees and feet correctly. I primarily work with athletes, and I feel that Thai massage is one of the best modalities. The DIMS instructors are amazing! They truly capture the Thai culture and spirit in their trainings, and on top of that they are always there to support you even after you graduate. I still check in with them on a frequent basis.”

“First of all, DIMS’s training courses are outstanding. They are skilled teachers with so much enthusiasm and knowledge. And, they make learning fun and easy. I’ve talked to people who studied elsewhere, and I am glad I earned my CMT with DIMS. Their training is comprehensive and immediately practical. They cover Eastern and Western anatomy as well as Thai and Chinese philosophy. They model the work really well while answering all kinds of questions eloquently. They have assistants to give hands-on help when students are practicing in trainings. And, they keep the student body small in each training, which allows for much more intensive learning. DIMS is also committed to creating a local community of massage and Thai massage practitioners in order to create a large and accessible support network. It’s well worth any student’s time and money.”

“The DIMS teachers are fantastic and very supportive. They teach a very rhythmic, ocean-like flow to the way you give a massage . . . it is all about the ebb and flow of the session . . . waves if you will . . . rather then just techniques . . . they teach you how to progress through the session . . . even though Thai massage and certain Western massage modalities can be very, deep work, there is a soft way to approach your clients and the style. I also like that they teach you how to use herbal compresses from the very beginning–it’s all about the heat and the smell and how that comforts your clients and yourself as the therapist.”

“For the past 3 years, we have brought the DIMS instructors to our university to teach their 320-Hour Western Therapeutics program, as well as their ala carte Thai Massage courses to our integrative health students because they are intelligent and compassionate teachers. They are enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about bodywork and energywork. They demonstrate all of the positions and moves, then partner the students so they practice that same sequence on each other, all the while continuing to demonstrate and verbally explain the correct ergonomics for the therapist and the correct pressure and technique for the receiver. Our students always rave about their training because it’s fun–the DIMS instructors have such positive and encouraging personalities and spirits–and because our students come away with SO much knowledge and practical experience that they feel confident to start practicing and working with others.”
