These processes are steeped in ancient wisdom and delivered through an innovative process called ‘soul vibing’ designed to connect your authentic ‘soul song’ or inner purpose and release resistance to allow it to express uninhibited into the world.

He holds a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology, Diploma of Sound Healing, Cert. Kundalini Yoga Instructor, And Reiki Master. Matt integrates all his healing wisdom in the soul vibing journey.
“Matt has an incredible guidance and an intuition, which is coupled with a humanness and understanding that cuts through the waa waa we usually associate with spirituality and spiritual processes. It makes it real, and raw. The results aren’t arguable when they land in your life and start to take affect. ” -Caroline Pemberton
