Please join us in wishing Matthew Howe, founder of Touch Education, a very happy birthday!
Matthew Howe has inspired hundreds of Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) through his passionate, evidence-informed teaching and his deep commitment to elevating the profession. Drawing from over two decades of clinical experience and his own journey of healing—sparked by recovering from serious injuries that led him to massage school—he shares a profound understanding of the transformative power of touch, particularly in addressing stress, trauma, and PTSD.In his workshops, retreats, and continuing education courses at Touch Education, he equips LMTs with practical, applicable tools—such as integrative craniosacral techniques and bodywork for PTSD—that they can implement immediately in their practices. His engaging style, blending scientific research with real-world application, leaves therapists feeling refreshed, empowered, and motivated to work more effectively and intuitively with clients facing pain, trauma, or nervous system dysregulation.Many LMTs return to their tables with renewed confidence, a broader skill set for facilitating lasting change, and a deeper appreciation for the therapeutic potential of healthy, compassionate touch—often describing his classes as essential for thriving in today's demanding world of bodywork.
And we get to have him on our team! If you haven't experienced a massage or bodywork session with Matt, you are seriously missing out! Massage Cincy is the functioning expression of the tenants of Touch Education. We owe our awesomeness to him.
Happy birthday, Matt!
