"As a television actor my profession requires extremely long hours and tremendous physical and mental endurance. Consequently, over the years, I have found various forms of massage to be invaluable tools in allaying the tensions and pressures of my work. John Neumann has not only been of tremendous help through his massage techniques, but has also almost completely corrected a lower back problem which has hounded me for a number of years. Without a doubt, he is by far the best massage therapist that I have encountered anywhere in the world. His knowledge and application of the healing arts has also helped me stop a 2 ½ pack-a-day cigarette habit… It is my firm conviction that techniques such as reflexology, shiatsu massage, iridology and herbal medicine (all of which John Neumann is a practitioner) are of immense benefit in our modern, stressful times, and I heartily recommend John Neumann to any and all who are interested in a better and healthful way of life." - N.M.

For John Neumann, teacher, mentor, friend:
--------------------------------------------
Innocence lies in our hearts ever so thin
Our blood flows eternally to nurture others within
Deep beneath this city of noise and sleep
We induce Body and Mind free in calm relief
Awakened by caring in the temple of Time
That allows our gifts to wrap all in the sublime
To reach out and warm the worn souls, depressed and tired
Let sickness be prevented by an energy of kindled fire
Embrace each to cure the disease of old
This is the promise we shall always hold
When healing hands touch, all forgiveness is given
And love permeates the skin like angels from heaven
R.A.

This course was different and very informative. It showed me what I want to do with my life and made me excited about my future. - K.H.

John,
It is a pleasure in any person’s lifetime to meet a caring and compassionate person such as you. Thank you for your patient and gentle guidance in our first step of learning alternative medicine. - The Graduating Class of October 92, Edmonton
