BCMT Alumni Spotlight – Matthew Gibble
Matthew C. Gibble
2002 Graduate of the AOS Program
Raining Faith Massage
Attending BCMT was an experience that had an amazing impact on my life. While attending the evening program I developed relationships with some influential people over the course of two years. As I moved on after graduation and began my own private practice I faced many different challenges with the clients that came to me. One day a man showed up who had had open heart surgery just two days prior.
“I can’t sleep and was wondering if I could come get a massage to help me out.” After consulting with his doctor and receiving confirmation that it was okay for him to receive a massage we worked together the next evening just three days after open heart surgery!
The next day he called me at 8:00 in the morning. My heart skipped a beat as I recognized his number on the caller ID. “Matthew, I just wanted to tell you that I slept so well last night. It was the rest that I needed, thank you.”
BCMT prepared me for this and many other situations that I have faced since opening my practice four years ago. There have been surprises but I always feel that I have been properly equipped to handle those surprises and challenges as they come my way. There are many choices in education available; make a choice that is a wise one and that will equip you to serve your clients well.
