About Justin Thomas

Justin Thomas, founder of Muscle Matters.

I have been a massage therapist for many years now and have built Muscle Matters into a successful thriving mobile massage business with several massage therapists working.
In my previous career I spent 16 years in the opal industry, heading out to the opal mining fields of Lightning Ridge in search of the very rare and expensive black opal. I was also an opal cutter/polisher and wholesaler for some of the biggest opal exporters in the country.
Living in the northern beaches of Sydney, with successful wholesale business passed on to me from my father, I had very strong feelings that there were more challenges in life out there waiting for me.

I came to a crossroads. Do I keep on going on doing what I’ve always done or should I follow my heart and break out and try something I really wanted to do. I had always enjoyed interacting with people on a meaningful level and then my mind was made up - I really want to be a massage therapist. I enrolled that month and got my diploma in remedial massage.
Making such a dramatic life change wasn’t easy but within months we had our house in Sydney, sold and moved with my wife and son to the Gold Coast in sunny Queensland.

We purchased a massage therapy business called Zenigma and shortly after changed the name. And that’s where Muscle Matters was born. We now run a thriving business without many of the stresses we had in our lives in Sydney.

My mission is to make each client a priority and ensure their needs are being met so that they feel 110% better after their massage. Along with the continual growth and learning I receive from advanced schooling and clients, I am enjoying the challenges of building a business and becoming a better therapist every day.

I now feel great peace in my life and am grateful each day that I followed my heart and took the plunge to practice being the best Massage Therapist I can be.

Sometimes change is just what’s needed, life is too short - make the most of the now!
