Do you long for purpose, change, and fulfillment?

 If you feel stuck, stagnant, stale, or any resistance in your life, this workshop is for you now. Even if you feel like your journey thus far has plateaued, now what? In this workshop you will pinpoint where static is occurring, why this is taking place, and how to create flow from it. Through guided meditation and interactive practices you will be able to determine what is holding you back from the life you desire. Join Matt on this liberating journey to self-empowerment to discover clarity, direction, and freedom of the uncertainty that has been stirring within you. Please bring paper and something to write with and also a mat/blanket if you want to lay down.

About the Instructor:  

Matt was professionally trained as a scientist and did his doctoral work in developing drugs to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders and cancer.  Years of professional unfulfillment, and personal setbacks became the catalyst to shift gears into holistic healing, where he was guided to the work of Dolores Cannon, who developed Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT).  After his own profound mental and physical healing with this modality, he became a practitioner himself.  

Matt now incorporates breathwork, energy healing (or use somatic release), shamanic practices, and many other techniques.  Let Matt guide you to heal yourself from the inside out and become the best version of you physically, mentally and emotionally.
