Feedback & Reviews
“I worked with Matt for seven years. I learned communicating with my loved ones and with myself in an honest and compassionate way. These days, I am far less heightened and activated throughout my life than before. I’ve learned ways to regulate my anxiety in a way that makes the day-to-day less daunting and exhausting”.
