In the last 6 months, I’ve had sessions with Duran in Bali, Bangkok, and recently flew to Chiang Mai specifically to work with him again.
After years of neglecting my spine and posture, old hockey injuries repeatedly flaring up, and spending countless hours hunched over a laptop for work, my spinal health, posture, and mobility had deteriorated significantly. A hunch had begun forming in my upper back, and my head posture was drifting further and further forward.
My first sessions with Duran were a wake-up call. They showed me that it was possible to regain movement, fluidity, and freedom in my body. More importantly, they motivated me to take my spinal health seriously and commit to regular posture, stability, and mobility work.
What I appreciate most about Duran's approach is that it can serve as a powerful catalyst. Whether you're just beginning your journey or you're already doing corrective exercises and other forms of care, his work can help unlock areas that have become restricted and give your progress a meaningful boost.

For me, Duran's work has been an important tool in helping restore movement and awareness to my spine, and I see it as a valuable complement to a broader approach to long-term spinal health and posture.

I look forward to more sessions with Duran and to continuing to improve my posture, mobility, and spinal health in the years ahead.Thank you for another amazing session this afternoon guys. My body, spirit, mind & inspiration are all renewed 🙏🏻 This is a good day!!!

I’ve had all types of massages, adjustments, and bodywork—Rolfing, Deep Tissue & Thai Massage, Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral, Chiropractic—and none compare to HME HEALING. The Qi Setting I received seemed to get to the most essential, deepest parts of my body and nearly instantly corrected root skeletal misalignments in my ankles, hips, sacrum, lumbar, thoracic, cervical vertebra, and even reset my left shoulder so it finally moves comfortably and sits properly in its socket.

After a Qi Setting session (just 10–15 minutes), I feel like I have a brand new skeleton. A typical massage feels good for a day or two, but this left me with an aligned, comfortable core body sensation that lasts for months. After a few sessions, I now have the precious gift of a new, efficient, relaxed way of carrying my body.

In my late 40s I noticed my spine developing odd irregularities and worried I was headed toward the same painful hunch my grandmother suffered with. Now, after several sessions, I feel confident I can maintain a healthy, aligned spine as long as I keep up my Taiji practice and receive a good session every now and then.

"I have been struggling with spinal issues for the last decade after being injured in full contact Sanda fighting and have been treated by many physiotherapists and chiropractors over the years. NOTHING comes close to the amazing work that Andy and Duran Mack from HME Healing offer. They are two of the sweetest, kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. I recommend at least 3+ sessions and absolutely guarantee that your pain will dissipate. If you feel you have tried everything and given up, I highly recommend giving them a try! I was sure that I would never be able to function properly again, let alone partake in any physical activity. I feel 10 years younger and wish that I had discovered them sooner! The location is also beautiful and one immediately feels at ease. I cannot say enough great things about them. You owe it to yourself to pay them a visit, its more than worth it!"

"I've been to the Akasha spa for the bonesetting treatment they offer. I've had a bad shoulder and weak back since an injury a few years ago. I've tried everything but nothing gave such relief as the bonesetting they do! My flexibility has increased immensely and it's making my workouts otherwise more efficient. I was skeptical going in but I was happily surprised.Thank you father son duo Duran and Andy Mack who were so easy going and reassuring! I feel vigorous than ever!"

"I went for a treatment to help correct postural alignments and relieve tightness in my body to improve my Taiji training. They have an uncanny ability to sense tension and postural deficiencies in the body, and his Qi Setting skills are truly amazing in helping to release the areas and re-align the skeletal structure. I felt areas of my body open up that would have taken me years to get to, if ever.

From personal experience, HME Taiji is a rare organisation in this field, whether you classify it as martial arts, personal development or other mental/physical/spiritual practice, it is exceptional in the material it teaches and the quality of teaching. Duran is a fantastic teacher and a great guy who is highly proficient in the art and able to convey his knowledge to students very effectively. I have practiced a number of martial arts over a 40 years and met people of extremely high abilities. When these people speak of authentic Taiji (Tai Chi) they are serious when they say it’s also called ‘the supreme ultimate’. You can see YouTube videos of Sifu Adam Mizner, the head of HME, to get some idea of the potential. Taiji must be experienced to be properly understood. It is a profound internal practice that I felt the extraordinary effects of after the very first lesson, and ever since. I would highly recommend you try this practice sincerely and experience its great benefits.

"Skills are top shelf, motivated by the wish to help others."

— Jim Bayer (Taijiquan Teacher Milwaukee USA)

"The knowledge, practices and skills being shared by Duran in this school are life-changing and should not be missed. People should definitely try this system and be exposed to something unique and different than western arts."

— Alexander Athanasiades

"After meeting Sifu Adam Mizner when I lived in Chiang Mai, HME is the only Tai Chi federation I choose to study with. Duran is a genuine and totally dedicated senior instructor under Sifu Adam, so if you want to learn the internal art and health benefits of Tai Chi (and not only a beautiful way to move) then you're in the right place."

"Duran is a very knowledgeable, sincere and genuine teacher. He teaches traditional Taiji training methods that really do lead to positive personal developments.
