(sent to the Tao Mountain School)
I had to email to let you know that I had the most amazing thai massage session last night with one of your program graduates. Matthew has a wonderful energy about him, and has a very good sense of hand positioning, body mechanics, use of deep pressure, etc. His enthusiasm for the work shows clearly in his speech and mannerisms. I feel very blessed to have found someone in this area who has been trained in the traditional thai healing work (I am a licensed Physical Therapist and also a Certified Thai Yoga Therapist, and Matthew is the first therapist who I have worked with in the DC area who has the right combination of personality, energy and practical application of skills to provide a truly blissful healing session.)

The plough is so awesome!! I continue to marvel at what it does for the body and that I can do it. My neck and shoulders are already feeling better, and it is helping to loosen up other areas as well. What an upper! MANY MANY THANKS TO YOU!!!

We have been contracting Matthew as our massage therapist since late 2002 and find him to be extremely knowledgeable and professional in his attitude and demeanor. Matthew has been adept at working with us to alleviate post-partum sore muscle pain and that stemming from extended breastfeeding, primarily affecting the back, neck and shoulders. Our relationship with Matthew has been highly satisfactory and we plan to continue working with him for as long as he is available.
