Matt Graduated from Massage Therapy at Georgian College in August of 2018. Since 2016 Matt has worked as a Personal Trainer, working with clients on various active goals to improve their lifestyle and overall health. Matt’s route to massage began when he experienced the benefits of seeing an RMT during the rehabilitation of his own injuries. Being an active sportsman, Matt has competed in many different sports such as swimming, running, soccer and weightlifting. He has sprained his ankles and also torn a meniscus in his knee. Without the help of Registered Massage Therapists, he would not have been able to return to his sport as quickly as he did.

Matts active lifestyle started at the age of 3, when he started in swimming lessons. He then joined the local competitive swim team aged 5 and at the age of 11 he was approached to swim for the Great Britain Development Squad. Matt moved to Canada from England in 2010, where he continued competitive swimming with Oakville Aquatics and York University. Since then Matt has competed in many running and triathlon events, being selected for the Canadian Age Group Triathlon World Championship team in 2019.

While working as a Personal Trainer he has learnt valuable knowledge in the relationship of exercise and recovery. As a result of this new knowledge, Matt has enabled clients to return to their sport after injury. He has also helped clients lose upwards of 50lbs, resulting in a healthier lifestyle. Matt has a desire to continue to learn, grow and work with a clientele of all ages in rehabilitation and body maintenance, who aspire for a healthier lifestyle.
