My Name is Chad Sutphin. I graduated from South Lyon High School in 2005 where I played 3 sports (Football, Basketball and Baseball). After high school I moved to Florida to attend Daytona Beach C.C. to study Marine Biology, but then decided to move back to Michigan and attended Oakland C.C. where I studied Psychology and Music for almost 2 years. Other than school, I have been a Coach/Referee for more than 10 years. The reasons I got into massage was because of my mom, who suffered from fibromyalgia and previous sport's injuries that have caused problems later in life.
In 2008, I moved back to Florida and found myself attending Florida College of Natural Health in Janurary of 2009. There, I completed a 750+ hour elcetic therapeutic massage and bodywork training program. The school is represented by Steiner Education Group which has 17 schools in 9 different states. SEG is a subsidiary of Steiner Leisure Limited, which is a global provider of spa services. Steiner Leisure's operations include spas and salons on more than 125 cruise ships and at more than 45 resorts worldwide. Steiner spas, both on land and at sea, recruit from the Steiner Education Group schools.

After school I returned to Michigan to start my own private practice and gain some experience. After a short stay I found myself back in Florida in 2010 to begin an Internship with 2011 NASL Finals Runner-Up, Fort Lauderdale Strikers. During that time I was presented with the opportunity to work with the Miami Dolphins which led to an internship with Mela Therapeutics, Bommarito Performance Systems & XPE Sport's for the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine where i worked with 30+ NFL Draft prospects. We are currently a part of Elite Massage Group which focuses on elite athletic clientelle.
