Hi, I’m Matthew. I'm here to support your journey back home to the innate wisdom of your body.

I was born uncomfortable in my body, and then grew up in a culture that taught me to exist mostly in my head. Throughout my childhood I rarely felt at ease in myself or with others. The revolution for me was finding modern dance in college. I discovered I could change how I felt by moving. Seeking tools to help me learn faster in my body, I engaged with touch therapies and the field of somatics, a study of movement and awareness. Now in middle-age, my journey continues through my commitment to helping you experience the freedom, wholeness, clarity, and belonging that I have been offered. Read More

What People Are Saying


If you are curious about movement, somatic embodiment, healing trauma, or just want to have fun and move your body in an authentic way in a space of acceptance, I highly recommend dropping in for Ecstatic Dance or experiencing a private session with Matthew.

Gwen - Bodyworker/Massage Therapist


Matthew taught me several somatic practices during session that I can practice at home which made me feel empowered and self-sufficient. It was comforting to have a non-judgmental space to be and learn more about myself. Thanks again Matthew!

Ashley - Therapist


Whether it be in group setting or one on one, Matthew’s approach to wellness is totally unique. What he gives to clients is something that affords them a deep understanding of their own body mechanics and how to move in ways that create lasting change and relief. 

Jean - Bodyworker


I have years of movement experience and have worked with lots of types of practitioners to feel more comfortable and strong in my body, and Matthew is one of my favorites. Highly recommended.
