Matthew offers a somatic-based coaching aimed at healing trauma deeply rooted in the nervous system. His approach taps into the body's natural healing ability, allowing processing through the autonomic nervous system (ANS). While legal psychoactive medicines like ketamine and cannabis may be incorporated, they're not mandatory.

Matthew was trained in a method, known as Psychedelic Somatic Interactive Psychotherapy, which blends somatic-based therapy with guidance from psychodynamic and attachment theory. PSIP targets fight/flight/fawn responses, freeze, and dissociative patterns, facilitating complete processing of body-stored trauma.

During a somatic release session, the goal is to activate the ANS to process and release stored energy, increase insight into your own response patterns, and establish new pathways to sustainable calmness and presence in life. Sessions typically last around 2-7 hours, and the number needed varies based on individual trauma history and readiness for release.

What is a Somatic Coaching Session like?

Experiecing of Somatic Waves, The Beginning

A session begins with wearing an eye-bag to focus inward. We start with a "body scan" to identify areas of agitation in the body, then explore the emotions stored in those areas. The client observes, accept these sensations and expresses them. Eventually clients understand their own somatic healing process and begin to experience somatic waves - or releases of stored emotional energy also known as allostatic load.

As the groove to each individual clients healing path becomes more definite they uncover core beliefs and rewrite habitual thought patterns, which results in a less reactive and more responsive grace in our life.

Benefits of Somatic Therapy

Clients often feel lighter, more present, and relieved from feelings of separation, loneliness, and depression after sessions. Many also experience relief from chronic physical pain or overcome dependency and develop secure attachment.
