"Easy to navigate the clear and concise courses, exceptionally responsive to questions, love the generous online discussions and pop-up FB lives for integration."
Darcy Dee
CST Practitioner - Colarado USA
"Jonathan is a fantastic teacher. He teaches in a simple and intuitive way that’s easy to follow and understand. He has a way of making seemingly complicated principles easy to follow and shows you ways to implement it in clinic by trusting what you feel without being overly robotic or formulaic. He helps you gain an understanding of having a good flow in treatment. He continually improves upon his courses (eg. how it’s shot, how the material is delivered), so that the quality of his videos are always top-notch. I took his pelvis, low back, viscera treatment courses, as well as, his mentorship program. Jonathan is very helpful at answering any of your questions and very responsive if you have a concern that needs addressing. Highly recommend his courses"
Jamiy Chua
Osteopath - Canada
"I have subscribed to the low back pain and the treating babies courses and find them both to be extremely helpful. The videos are clear and concise. I love being able to dip in and out and watch the videos back as and when I need to. The FB group is also extremely supportive and Jonathan is so helpful and understanding that you never feel stupid asking any questions. Would highly recommend"
Hannah Knibbs

"Great content. Easy to understand. Love that I’m able to learn at a time that suits me! Thanks"
Dr Kimberly Coad
Osteopath - Australia
"I'll admit to being slightly sceptical about learning via video, but I found the Ribs course to be very helpful, and I use the techniques most days in clinic. Shortly after completing the course, I had a patient present with a very similar rib MOI as Jonathon sustained in his personal case study. Within 3 treatments he was pain free. I have now signed up for a second course treating the pelvis, and am looking forward to what it will teach me"
Steve McMullen
Osteopath, UK
"I have taken the Baby on-line course and am now in the midst of completing the treatment of Acute Low Back Pain course. I find all of the material that Jonathan presents to be extremely informative and highly effective when implementing them into my treatment plans. I am a very visual learner so these are perfect for me. Jonathan is very motivating and most helpful. Whenever I am presented with difficult cases even though they are off topic he immediately helps by making individual videos pertaining to my questions. He is very "hands on" with his teaching even though we are miles apart. Would highly recommend these learning tools to everyone. "
Gail Macdonald
Osteopath - UK
"Jonathan is an amazing teacher, i have learnt and developed in my career so much thanks to the mentor-ship program and are already looking forward to doing the other courses provided with kindred academy. If you are looking to further develop your all round skills as an Osteopath, then i would 200% recommend the kindred academy courses."
Alan Johnson
Osteoapth - UK
"I found Kindred Academy over a year ago and quickly fell in love with the community. I was feeling lost with my osteopathy. I was in a place that was not known for this practice and had no peers to turn to or to learn from. Finding this community has changed my life and brought me closer to the art of osteopathy and I own this to Jonathan, the founder of Kindred Academy. He gives amazing advice and really tries to be a staple for the online community of the osteopathic practice. If you have not checked out his courses, I can honestly say DO IT! "

"Jonathan's natural talent and passion for teaching is infectious these courses have really given me the courage and the confidence to to develop my own skill set in this field. These courses have a beautiful way of allowing you to explore the concepts presented, but in a way that is very relevant to your own particular way of treating and practicing.

Make Your Upskilling Work
During my Osteopathic career I have built three successful clinics, but not by advertising, 'free' consults or other marketing ideas - but through strong technical skills like those that you will learn on this course.
What's the best way to grow a successful practice? It's though getting people better.
"Fixing Patients is Always the Best Advertising"
That's why this course will pay you back time and time again.
When you fix more patients you get more word of mouth referals. And that's how you build a strong practice, because that not only brings in more patients it means you also save money by needing to do less advertising.
Our clinic is a classic example of this, our patient's do our advertising and they're delighted to do it. Why because they know they can trust our skills and they get to share in the 'success' when a friend or family member gets better.
30 Day Money Back Promise.
This course draws on years of clinical experience and many years teaching and mentoring osteopathic students and that's why I believe you will love it.
But if it's not right for you then anytime within the first 30 days of purchase simply email me and I will refund your money. my email is [email protected]
I have an established clinic and an established teaching academy, and the price promise is there to help show you how committed I am to the long term growth of Kindred Academy. I will happily refund you if you don't feel this course was value for money.
