Michael Bouvier
Michael Bouvier is a 2003 graduate of
National University of Health Sciences. During his first trimester
at NUHS, he came up with the business name Enlightened
Hands.
The mission of Enlightened Hands is "total body re-education
through a combination of a variety of massage
techniques with education of proper body mechanics,
food nutrition and supplementation, and self care
techniques."
Alongside his wife Christine, also a National University
graduate, Michael operates the incorporated business seven days a
week with locations in Westmont, Algonquin, and Hinsdale,
Illinois.
Michael also provides home visits and chair massages, and has
successfully worked with workman's compensation claims and
insurance providers. In addition, Michael provides massage for
several corporate accounts, including McDonalds.
"In my business, I've been able to interact with many massage
therapists who come from other schools," Michael said. "I think
National's caliber is higher. I highly recommend that people choose
National for its anatomy training, the hands-on experience they'll
have, the pathology classes, as well as National's business
program."
What's Michael's advice for those considering a career in
massage therapy?
"Self-care is very important, especially your hands and arms,"
he explained. "They are literally what keep you in business. You
need to get into this business for the right reasons--to help
people. If your intent is right, then the money will come."
Why does Michael feel he is so successful?
"I love what I do, so it comes through in my massage."
