Testimonials

Hi Ophir,
Just wanted to say it has been an incredible experience and journey meeting you, talking to you and the work you do. unfortunately it was for only a short time but something I will never forget. I believe that our paths were meant to cross that day in Dunsborough, I believe in fate and this was fate and things happen for a reason. I would also like to say the session today was unbelievable, I had many different experiences today for example I felt a numbing sensation, a warming feeling through my entire body especially when you were doing reiki, there was also a tingling feeling in my head as well I also felt like you took me on a journey somewhere where I have never been. I can’t explain it but it was absolutely amazing. Each visit brought me different experiences and I thank you. I would also like to thank you for helping me see the issues with my relationship. I will be thinking more and all will be good. Just being in the room with you and talking to you is uplifting and incredible.

Once again thank you we will miss you, have a safe journey and hope to see you in Byron Bay

Regards,
Garry Owens

Ophir, thanks a bunch for everything, you are amazing!!
I will remember you always. you put this "derailed train" back on its trails.
Thank you for adding a great priceless value to my journey/life.

I am a semi professional tennis player from Bulgaria. One day during a match, a wrong movement caused me injury to my spine.
I fructured a Lumbar vertebrae (L4/5) and mild rupture to a disk that slipped out between L-4/5, in my lower back.
I had to stop play tennis and I experienced constant pains to my left leg that bothered me a lot. I also suffered from pins and needles at my Big toe and lack of sensation under small toes, all on left side.
since the injury I tried all sorts of treatments and medical solutions. I have seen best doctors in Germany and Bulgaria who gave me pills, injections into the spine, rehabilitation centers with exercises(for one month) and even two acupuncture sessions.
Nothing helped, and for four months I was suffering. I gave up the idea of playing tennis again and enjoy ski for the rest of my life.
I met Ophir four months after my injury and we decided to try again Acupuncture and other modalities that he treats. I took Six sessions in total of Acupuncture, Reiki & Acupressure, in an intensive course of one week.
I felt an immediate change. my pains flactuated during that week, and 5 days later the pain in my leg reduced by 70%.
Two weeks later the pain in my leg was gone. completely clean. Ophir Advised me on proper exercises and diet as well.
My following meeting with Ophir a month later (in Israel) focused on clearing the tingling sensation on my big toe. Again with intensive course of 4 treatments he managed to restore a normal condition and now I no longer feel any pins or needles at my big toe.
I wish to thank Ophir from the bottom of my heart for the help he gave me, the confidence he put in me that one day I will be able to play tennis again (I have already started)...
The gentle but precise way he treated me (I was afraid of needles) and the knowledge and understanding Ophir has to the body and its problems is amazing. I am greatful.
Thank you,
Boris Gavrilov,

"I'm very happy that you enjoyed your stay in Bulgaria. I did my best.The hole family is missing you.
After your last treatment - there is no pain and electrisity in the leg.
I also stopped smoking since the treatments in Israel !
Thank you. Keep in touch. With best friendly regards" - Boris, June '08

I recieved a treatment to my back- massage, tapping and pressure points, one of the best I have ever experienced.
but the most special thing happened to me was at the end of the treatment. Ophir left me to relax and I felt very heavy without a will to move. I felt my body as a big and heavy stone lying on the ground.
suddenly I felt my spirit taking off of the body and pose above it, about a meter and a half. the spirit felt very light, like a kite in the air controlld by an invisible hand, happy and satisfied being released from the body.
I was like an observant from outside of the whole situation.
the body on the other hand was very heavy but content, happy from all the pressure recieved earlier that opened all blockages. the spirit and the body communicated between them. The body told the spirit not to leave yet.
it is not the time, we have things to accomplish here, and the spirit, laughing, saying do not worry, It is not the time yet.
"nevertheless", continued the spirit "if it was the time I was pleasfully and blissfully rise up with heavenly sensation."
the body replied that he feels happy and complete as well, as if it accomplished its tasks down on earth. the spirit immediately gathered itself and returned to the body, saying that it shouldn't let go now. still lots to do!
It was a megical moment of break from life. a sensation of a different cycle, different circle of life.
A unique and extraordinary experience.
I am greatful to Ophir that brought me to this stage, to this rare moment of experience.
thank you.
Mrs. B (Israel 2008)

 I was drawn by my wife to go and try acupuncture for my problem. I had both arms and legs problems of tingling, heaviness and numbenss at times, and always after a short sit or rest. After 8 sessions my problem was gone ! My suffer of many years is gone ! I am so happy and surprised. I still hard to believe it. I found that also my hayfever is reduced and I do not get urge to urinate at night anymore. Thank you .
S. Chen (Sydney, 2007)

I was innitialy refered by my physiotherapist to try acupuncture after I sprained my ankle. It was swollen and I could step on it. For me, as a martial artist, it was crucial to have my leg functioning normal again fast. Acupuncture definately reduced the swelling, cleared the bruising and restored range of movement as well as eliminate pain in the ankle. I also experienced good results with neck and shoulders tension, reduced and clearing of head cold and genral well being and interconnectedness. I always feel tonified and enhanced after treatments. it is great.
Venessa (Sydney 2007)

Ophir has an ability to tune into my body's problems on many levels and uses acupuncture to treat the source of the problem, which for me has lasting benefits. There is a deep sense of relaxation and repair that I have not found with massage and as a regular exerciser he can take care of the physical and emotional with one art form...acupuncture... and you feel lighter and totally rejuvenated. Justine (Sydney 2007) .

I would just like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the last 6 months tuition. I have thoroughly enjoyed the classes and have certainly become a major fan of Tai Chi and enjoyed your great teaching style. I will certainly attempt to find a good class back in the UK and continue the discipline. I will miss Sydney very much, but I'll keep practicing in my free time.
Kind regards,
Nic (August 2006)

"Thorough and professional yet relaxed and informal.  Ophir's class was animated by his passion for Tai-chi.  A fine way to start the day."
Matthew , Allens Arthur Robinson (2006 Corporate introduction)

 I have been suffering from Fibromyalgia for 3 years now. The symptoms of this condition are debilitating fatigue, constant muscle aches, soreness, tension and stiffness. My muscles cannot endure repetitive motion or strength exercise. They are very sensitive to even gentle touches. The symptoms of Fibromyalgia aggravate with physical or mental stress. So that is why I decided to try Reiki with Ophir as a very gentle and relaxing alternative of treatment, in combination with Acupuncture and massage. It is just amazing how it works for me. During the session I can feel a stream of warmth moving through my entire body. Reiki makes me take deep and long breaths and every time I exhale I can feel enormous relief of the tension in my body. It must also work for my mental state. After the treatment I feel so energise, relaxed and in high spirits. Thank you very much.
