Craniosacral Therapy and Integrative Bodywork
I can’t say enough good things about Denis’s approach to healing. He’s an incredibly kind and compassionate therapist who creates a safe and supportive container for processing emotions and trauma. I felt an immediate shift after just one session and truly appreciated his thoughtful, personalized approach.
Anna Mescherova, Montreal.
Denis has been helping our whole family for years, and we are deeply grateful for his work.
His approach is thoughtful and respectful, adapting to what’s needed in each moment.
He uses a range of techniques and keeps constantly learning and growing in his practice.We’re really lucky to have such a high-level professional in Montreal.

Denis is a natural Intuitive healer. It is hard to put into words even 2 weeks later. Experience him for yourself! Especially if you are attuned to subtle energies and ready to release old traumas from your body, along with the root. Highly recommend!!!

Working with Denis has been really beneficial to both my mental and physical well being. He has a wealth of knowledge, experience and training in massage therapy and bodywork which has allowed him to tailor a program specific to my needs. As a runner, his use of thai yoga techniques has been very helpful in relieving the soreness in my muscles and joints. As well, I feel a much stronger connection between these parts of my body and my mind both during and after our sessions. I often find myself in a very deep state of relaxation during our sessions where I feel or sense things that give me comfort, such as a happy childhood memory or a calming place. Denis took the time to understand what I needed and was able to facilitate mind-body connectivity, which strongly contributed to my overall health and wellness.

I really appreciated Denis’ work with me. I especially enjoyed his listening skills, respect, presence and understanding of his work. Some expansion happened in the body/mind during the sessions. Thank you!

Continuous Work
I had the great fortune to work with Denis for a year while I was living in Montreal in 2021. I was so impressed with the enormous progress I was making with him that I met with him once a week for 9 months straight. I have worked with many talented therapists over the course of twenty years from all different kinds of backgrounds from traditional CBT methods, to Jungian based approaches, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing approach, etc and Denis was orders of magnitudes superior to all of them based not only on the actual experience I had with him in the sessions but the transformational results that happened in my life. Denis is so diverse in his approach pulling from shamanically informed experiences to trauma resolution training from world leading experts in the field like Bessel Van der Kolk and he integrates them beautifully into his own unique style that is not only incredibly effective but personable. One of the qualities I appreciated most about him was how effective he was at closing the container in our sessions. I found in comparison that a lot of my past therapists, although very well intentioned, were too soft in maintaining therapeutic boundaries and a lot of time was wasted not addressing the substantive issues at hand. When you work with Denis, be prepared to excavate deep into the psyche to uncover root causes of imbalances and suffering. Also be prepared to integrate the sometimes intense work on your own outside of the sessions. If you are willing to ultimately do the heavy lifting in your healing journey, there is no better person I can recommend to work with than Denis. I have referred many of my friends to him that have had outstanding results.

Denis is a great therapist with a multi-dimensional approach to healing that have been extremely helpful and instrumental to my well-being. After spending years doing body work with a similar specialist in Australia (where these faculties are quite developed), I wasn’t able to find the right person in the UK; but now feeling very happy I have an excellent support from Denis in Montréal.

Denis is an amazing practitioner. Professional, highly competent, and clearly an expert in his field. I highly recommend him!

Systemic and Family Constellations
I have had one-on-one sessions with Denis as well as Family Constellation in groups with Denis’s guidance. Every time, I find peace and understanding into deep emotional scars that liberate my body and bring serenity. I recommend Denis for his professional approach and his patience in helping me resolve my traumas.
Alejandra Cifuentes Diaz, Montreal.
I saw Denis for family constellation work, individually, one-on-one, and in a group setting. I contacted him and got an appointment within days. I was new to this therapy, and prior to seeing Denis, I read a little about it, not really knowing what a session looks like and what it entails. Denis took time to answer all of my questions before we started. Then, we embarked on a very intense 3-hour journey. I can say that Denis was all in the entire time. He is very intuitive and was able to tune in into the energies of different family members, masterfully switching between their representations. I also witnessed the same during shorter small group constellations with quite a few participants who were looking for a shift in their various dynamics. Here, again, Denis discerned subtle energies and masterfully led the constellations, going all in. This, as well, was such a great experience for me to see and enjoy.
Sandra Novalija, Montreal.
I can add that there have been some shifts in my family dynamic since my only individual constellation session, for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend Denis for his knowledge and understanding of the constellation work, his subtle abilities dealing with energy, his thoughtful and compassionate approach, and his integrity.
I found Denis online through his website. He responded quickly and we set up a first meeting. Denis is a very insightful practitioner and was extremely professional in his work, efficient and to the point. He took extra time to respond to questions after the session which I perceived as going the extra mile for his client. A great addition to Montreal and Family Constellation Work.
Irena Andersen, Montreal.
When I did a constellation for my business, I did not know what to expect but you led everything in a very creative and competent manner that brought surprising results, which were based in the reality of how my business is run. Now I know the things I need to focus on and I have a feeling of confidence and security that I did not have before. Thanks for your wonderful work!
Deborah Stupple, business owner, Montreal
I had a great experience with family constellation. Denis is amazing. We already have had 2 sessions and I will go back again.

Denis helped me a lot. For several years as he is my therapist, I have successfully processed multiple issues, including romantic relationships, separation from parents, work problems, motherhood challenges. He is the person who uses the gentle approach and open mindset. When we work on any subject I feel that behind any answers he gives there is an accumulated expertise and a lot of knowledge. The quality of life without his wonderful help would have been much lower. When you heal from past, you gain extra capacity to achieve important results for your present and future, and this is one of the most precious effects of his work.

Group Workshops
Attending your workshop was a pleasure and a great learning experience. Right from the first exercise, it was astonishing to realize how many limitations can be lifted off when we become conscious of our sensory language. I see how it can be easy to become enmeshed between “money” and our feelings of self-worth. However, beyond our emotional landscape that affect our monetary experience… the “body” knows when it feels right. Thank you for organizing this workshop and also using the concept of constellation as a canvas for the second part. I particularly appreciate how you can project a casual approach and a space where we feel comfortable exploring less comfortable topics that can trigger complex emotions, while keeping a very clear focus on the content and our experience. Looking forward the next time!

I attended Denis Petrov’s workshop: Between Therapy and Ritual, Working with Sound and Voice.
Dr. Guillermo Rodriguez Vega. Master of clinical and family psychology. Bogota, Colombia.
It marked my first contact with this therapeutic approach. The work is based on deep contact with self, in silence, silencing the words to give way to the sensations and reflections. Those that sometimes we find hard to let out, express.
Almost music emitted through our voice, throat, chest, abdomen. We get in touch with people, situations or places. We can eliminate doubts or resolve concerns, using the technique. It helps us find a new way through, towards possibilities for solution. Denis Petrov guided us with his charisma and spirituality along this new path. Thank you.
Original Text, in Spanish:
Asistí al taller de Denis Petrov: Entre la terapia y el ritual, trabajando con sonido y voz. Significó un primer contacto con un enfoque terapéutico basado en un profundo contacto consigo mismo, en Silencio, acallando las palabras para darle paso a las sensaciones y reflexiones que a veces nos cuesta dejar salir, expresar. A través de los sonidos casi musicales emitidos desde nuestra voz , la garganta, el tórax, el abdomen, nos ponemos en contacto con personas, situaciones o lugares y podemos aclarar dudas o formular inquietudes de una nueva forma que nos ayudan a encontrar posibilidades nuevas de solución. Denis Petrov, nos guía con su carisma y espiritualidad por este camino novedoso. Gracias.
