Matthew's Testimonials

Your massages are like ministry ... sacred! I leave feeling so alive and one step closer to being a better person.

I am a big guy -- around 450 lbs. -- and what Matthew has done for me physically and mentally has helped me to establish life practices that are bettering me every day. His basic knowledge of nutrition has helped me set up a pretty simple plan that has been working quite well. Of course, I had to make the choice to replace the old with the new, but taking a chance one day with Matthew has turned out to be more rewarding than words can explain.

Working with Matthew Voelker has been a truly enlightening experience. I have worked with a number of massage therapists around the country, many at spas and hotels in which I have stayed on business, from New York to L.A. After coming to Divinescence, I knew I had found a HOME. Matthew is truly a gifted and passionate professional. I have realized that working with Matthew is not just a muscle-based relationship, but truly a spiritual, emotional, and physical journey toward overall wellness and enlightenment. He has helped me tremendously with my stress levels, my nutrition, and has motivated me toward physical goals with my workouts and daily life. Matthew is truly the most intuitive massage therapist I have ever encountered. His skill and knowledge for massage, the human body, and energy is far beyond anything I have ever experienced. He can put anyone at ease with his true caring essence that is for the growth of the human spirit. I have recommended others to Matthew and know they will all thank me in the future for allowing them to experience this wonderful gift that he has to offer the community around him.

Finally, The Midwest has a top class masseur in Matthew Voelker! Over the years I've had many massages, here locally and throughout the U.S. I've never had a massage that compares to Matthew's. He puts his entire body and soul into his work, leaving the client feeling totally rejuvenated and relaxed. Plus, Matthew is just a wonderful young gentleman, with interesting ideas and conversation at the completion of the massage. I strongly urge anyone in need of massage therapy to utilize his services so we don't lose this local treasure!

Matthew delivers a world class massage. He is instinctual in his approach, has great technique, and works with his clients on delivering a massage that works for them. I have and will continue to recommend his services.
Brian H. says . . .
The best massage I have ever had. Matthew not only had very healing hands, he took the time to ask questions and get to know what I liked and needed. His background in biology along with his healing techniques made me completely at ease and helped relieve my back pain. In addition, he provided additional advice on living a healthy lifestyle.
Jennifer S. says . . .
It left me with a feeling of energized relaxation, like the high you feel after dancing for hours.
