Parents’ testimonials

Numerous parents who have trained in the Tui Na Centre – Rozman Method© and who have implemented regular daily massage at home have reported improvements in sleep, social skills, stress levels, outbursts, speech, repetitive behaviour, sensory and digestive problems. The testimonials we have so far received also illustrate how practicing this massage daily could further strengthen the special bond that parents have with their child, and so reduce parental stress and improve their own wellbeing.

What the parents say...

“I can’t adequately put into words what a powerful impact Rozman Method tuina has made on our lives. Since going on this journey at the beginning of the year we have seen some real tangible changes in our profoundly autistic 7 year old boy – more eye contact, less tip toe walking, more language, a greater sense of calm, more focused looking and a sense of him being more “present”. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that now he can use a straw whereas a year ago he just chewed them to a pulp – we are noticing changes in his fine motor skills and also his gross motor skills…” M.R.

“…Massage is our special time with M., we try to talk, we laugh and sometimes struggle but we are very intensely together. I see direct benefits: his sleep improved almost immediately, he communicates better and I am getting reports of improved attention from the school. We are only at the beginning but I am going to continue… and besides, you want to meet Leonid, massage is only part of what he will give you. I would go to see his workshop, talk to him personally about your child and then take next steps; it is easy and fair approach. If you need to talk to somebody who did the course my e-mail is: xx (provided on request). Thank you Leonid and Sanya.” J.N.

“Fantastic course and insight I love everything this course stands for and is trying to achieve! I have completed the course, and continue to carry out the massage at home with positives all round! I’m very excited about the results, long term, for life, this wonderful, logical, massage has introduced to me and my son. This is the way we should be pushing autism therapy forward in this country in my opinion. Sincere and passionate hosts and founders of the course Leonid and Sanya x I can’t praise them or its objectives enough.” Nicole

What the parents say...

“As a parent, I felt for the first time since ASD was diagnosed that I am in position to do something for my son that is making him feel better! Seeing that there is an obvious progress day by day just kept me motivated. In 2 years of daily treatments, my boy became much calmer, self-injuring is the past now. His eye contact improved significantly, social interaction, learning ability and speech as well. Last but not least, it strengthened our relationship and trust.” S.N.

What the parents say...

“My son has been treated by Leonid for 18 months and the Tui Na massage has had a profound impact on his development. Tui Na has helped facilitate the various therapies we use to work on my son. We have noticed better physical tone and coordination, and it also has helped language and concentration. The massage technique is also a wonderful way for me to connect with my child. We look forward to seeing Leonid each week and cannot thank him enough!” D.G.

What the parents say...

“I first want to say that I didn’t know that the day I meet Leonid will change my whole approach to the difficulties of my son. Although his difficulties are not that severe, he has Special Educational Needs Statement and requires full time assistant in the school (currently 5 years old in the reception class). And this is exactly where Leonid, with his special bond with children, made me see that I can achieve what he has achieved with his son. I do struggle with the time as well and I spoke about it with Leonid during his follow up visits but on the other hand, is there any short cut to the problems of our children?..” J.N.

What the parents say...

“I attended the training course with Leonid and Sanja last year and must say it was very beneficial and informative. Both instructors were supportive, encouraging and have great knowledge and experience that they were more than willing to share. The material (book & dvd) you received on the course are great to look back through. I got plenty of time to practice the massage techniques and was helped to find spots if I was unsure. They shared points and face massage techniques that weren’t in the book and if you had any specific issues you wanted to tackle they showed you points that could help. It was a great day of learning for myself. I not only use the steps on the people I support but on friends and family.” S.P.

What the parents say...

“Leonid has been working with our son twice a week for 4 months. During this time we have noticed huge improvements including; reduced anxiety, improved focus, better bowel movements, regulated sleeping habits and far less stimming and tiptoe walking. One of the biggest improvements is his functional conversation. There is now clarity to his speech, he is more present and can attend to a conversation longer than before…” T.B.

What the parents say...

“…We are so impressed with Tui Na as a form of treatment we chose to undertake private training with Leonid and Sanya in order to extend it into the home. This has created a wonderful bonding opportunity with our son whilst enjoying an activity he finds extremely soothing and relaxing…” T.B.

What the parents say...

“…Leonid’s vast knowledge of Autism and its impact on the body is invaluable. He is very respectful, caring and understanding of our son and we continue to learn from him all the time. Our son loves getting his massages and always looks forward seeing Leonid.” T.B.

What the parents say...

“I attended the training course with Leonid and Sanja on Saturday and it was a great day of training. They are 2 very genuine people who really do want the best for our kids and have a great way of teaching. The best thing is that they truly understand all the difficulties that parents of children with autism are faced with. We came away with the dvd to show everything we learnt on the day which will be a godsend when you forget some of the steps. Thoroughly recommend training with these 2 wonderful people if you get a chance book yourself on their next training day!!” A.P.

What the parents say...

“…Emotionally Leonid and Sanja have provided us with a lifeline – as the parents of an autistic child the world can seem a very lonely & helpless place, with such little understanding and such scepticism & pessimism from the so called “experts”. Leonid & Sanja cut through all of that with such clarity, grace and humility – they have taught us a practical, applicable and deeply soulful therapy that we can use daily. They have been so understanding, patient and open to us – without a shadow of a doubt they have helped our family and above all our son more than everyone else put together…” M.R.

What the parents say...

“…We have to be committed as parents to find the time every day to do the massage and it needs focus, patience and attention. But the joy of physically and soulfully bonding with our son when language isn’t the currency – that has brought us closer as a family, and provided a light amongst the dark days. Rozman Method has given us a powerful natural therapy for the body and the soul, and I can’t recommend the Tuina Centre enough.” M.R.

What the parents say...

“First time I heard about the amazing progress that tuina can enable at children with ASD and cerebral palsy, I thought that it would be a mission impossible in our circumstances. But it was the great passion and genuine care of these two wonderful people, Sanja and Leonid, that inspired and encouraged me to give it a try. And it worked! By giving simple and hands-on explanations and instructions at the very beginning and helping advice and monitoring at the later stage, they provided a firm, professional hand to follow…” S.N.

What the parents say...

“Of course he spoke! It lowered his stress. The Tui Na Massage I did on my daughter and husband lowered their stress and their communication improved dramatically. Our autistic kids are filled with so much stress that is caused by anxiety that it’s no wonder they have problems with words.” Candy

What the parents say...

“Tuina has become a part of our everyday routine, something to look forward, our own special ritual.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet these two incredible professionals who transferred their knowledge and experience to us and helped us to help our son. I can only recommend this treatment from all of my heart.” S.N.

What the parents say...

“The Tuina centre run by Leo and Sanya is one of the most special places and run by two of the most incredible people we have ever met. Their work has been critical to our sons progress, Daniel who has cerebral palsy. It’s thanks to their patient teaching and believing in parents’ ability to help their children that have enabled to accelerate Daniel’s healing journey. Their patient and gently methods have allowed us to help our son in ways we never imagined possible…” R.H.

What the parents say...

“…The spasticity in Daniel’s body is all but gone and he continues to make regular progress. We have a thriving child doing things we used only ever dream of him doing. Don’t delay adopt this work into the healing of your loved one. You’ll be glad you did! If anyone would like to see Daniel’s journey and progress together with the Tuina Rozman Method and other work we follow with Daniel, please see his Facebook page entitled Daniel Raiden. Best wishes to you all and success on your journey.” R.H.

“Hi Leonid and Sanja. I have been thinking about the techniques of TuiNa you’ve thought to us ever since I came back home. I truly thank you again from the bottom of my heart for what you brought to us!! I took your advice right away and I included the sequence into my Padovan sessions right away. They’re so many things that came out and that I observed, sometimes less than 10 min after the TuiNa session. This morning, A. the sweet down syndrome boy you’ve seen on my video rushed to the toilets to pooh!!! And of course, like almost every Down syndrome child he does have many constipation problems!…” A.M.

What the parents say...

“…It’s the second week that I introduce TuiNa in the Padovan sessions, and I become more and more amazed by the results…I have a young patient with CP (10 1/2)…He is very clever and most of the time very happy; but I always felt he was “over-acting“ his play. So today he came grumpy but asked for the “massage“… he was rather defiant and negative. I stopped talking and started the TuiNa sequence. In about 10min he fell asleep…and he slept all along the sequence that I slowed intentionally…Even when I turned him on his front he just mumbled and kept sleeping!! So the sequence lasted for 50 min. I left him totally relaxed (slumbering!!) and gave him some 10 min more alone before waking him up slowly… how can it be?? I’m astonished!!” A.M.

What the parents say...

“FIVE STARS – I attended the course and learned so much from Leonid and Sanya. It was very hands on and I had the opportunity to work on the pressure points myself. Leonid has been working with my daughter for just over a month and I have seen great improvements in her speech, social skills and independence. I highly recommend this course – it has really changed my life.” S.M.
