Matt Michaud

Courses are written and prepared by Matt Michaud, MA, LMT. He has been working as a massage therapist since 1996. He ran a neuromuscular massage clinic in Jacksonville, FL supervising up to 5 working therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors. He learned to specifically recruit, treat, and educate massage clients to use massage as a catalyst for better health. He also learned to work in the relaxation areas of massage learning from the Ritz Carlton, at a 5 star destination resort. He brings 10 years of experience working in higher education as a psychology professor and counselor. He shares the experience of enjoying a career in massage therapy from a “hands-on” perspective. He has worked in the field and knows the daily challenges of being a bodyworker.

Matt looks forward to sharing the knowledge of his most recent changes. In February he sold his practice of 12 years and moved to Phoenix, Arizona to pursue a long time dream of becoming a naturopathic doctor. He attends Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe. Although he enjoys learning new approaches, he values more strongly the massage theory that he learned from the professional educators in his years of experience.

Matt’s presentation style is one of enthusiasm and solid public speaking skills. Therapists regularly comment on his ability to make difficult concepts easy to understand. He likes to start the presentation by validating therapists -identifying their current knowledge and then asking them to bridge to a new level of understanding. Courses are consistently described as fun learning, simultaneously relaxing, and well worth the investment. Matt believes that massage education is one of the benefits of being a massage therapist. Clients end the day, rejuvinated and reenergized for the profession.
