About

It was 2009 when I traveled to India to become a Vedic Meditation teacher. This was inspired by the profound impact my own practice had on me. Initially, lifting me out of a dark space in the wake of an intense panic attack. Progressively, supporting ever-more evolved versions of myself.

The Meditation Effect is such a wonderful person, he is very grounded, and passionate about what he does and it comes out in his work. I have had some of my most relaxing meditative experiences while working with him. Highly recommend for anyone at any level of experience with meditation/yoga/breath work! More...

Matthew has literally changed my life! Before I started working with Matthew as my life coach, I was all over the place. I couldn't keep commitments with other people, let alone myself. That has all since changed and now I'm beyond optimistic about what the future holds. Thanks for all your support Matthew! More...

Q&As

What I love most about my job is the opportunity to serve others. Creating sustainable, progressive results with my clients fills my Soul. I love the authentic connection that's shared and I love the celebration of what's possible. I love turning obstacles into opportunities. I love looking fear in the face with my client and choosing courage. I love AH-HA moments, belly laughs, and commitments.

It was 2004. I was a college student driving home from class when I started to feel light headed. I had plans to meet friends for a movie later that evening. Life had other plans apparently as my lightheadedness began to be accompanied by an unfamiliar sense of dread. I arrived home and unraveled into a state of panic. My body was tingly, I could not breathe, nothing felt normal. “What was going on?!” I was surely going to pass out. Or die. I managed to get in my car and drive a few blocks down to my Dad’s therapy office. He laid me on my stomach, guided me in mindful breathing, and rubbed my back.

Just as an earthquake delivers after-shocks, my panic attack left me anxious and confused. Two weeks into this anxious nightmare came an invitation to attend an introduction to meditation. Over the next few years, I would come to learn the Universe has a way with timing.

I knew very few who meditated at the time. What I knew most intimately was a new, personal living hell. Somewhere deep inside of me I had come to recognize this living hell as a wake up call; a call to action.

I decided to give it a shot, something needed to change. In hindsight, I can See that my suffering was the catalyst (wake-up call) that caused me to grab the rope out of the quicksand of self-destruction.

What I found is that meditation offered relief from my over-active mind and over-stimulated nervous system. I was able to practice creating Space in my internal world. More and more, I practiced building a gentle and graceful relationship with the anxious energy moving through me. As I began to come into alignment with my self, my mind/body state progressively shifted.

Meditation utterly changed my Life and I became inspired to share the practice with others. After traveling to India and undertaking an extensive teacher training program, I created The Meditation Effect. My role as a Meditation teacher blossomed into Life Coaching, Breathwork, and Yoga, fueled by my passion for personal development. We will inevitably integrate these tools into our coaching work together. Our daily practices are the backbone of our progress. The future is yours for the creating. Namasté

I am committed to being of service, I have a lot of experience, and I'm very good at what I do. My speciality is distilling spiritual knowledge and philosophy into simplified terms for practical application.

I am good at being myself. Certain clients will uniquely resonate with me, so being myself is of utmost importance. This sets the stage for mutual authenticity. My value is revealed through the quality of care and intimate attention I offer my clients. What sets me apart is my commitment to the evolution of the individual, as well as my continued accessibility and support over time. Let's set up an introductory session. Your time is Now!

Services

As your Life Coach, I am a mentor, confidant, and unconditional source of support. I am a powerful ally on your journey of well-being and progress. Our coaching relationship is a safe space of trust, transparency, vulnerability, courage, and growth. I am committed to serving you with no personal agenda.

In our coaching sessions, we will identify and clarify the Vision you have for your life. We'll enjoy deep-dive explorations of your true desires. It can be very refreshing to slow down and get clarity on our priorities. As we get clear on your Vision, we will create an action plan for manifesting that reality. It’s my job to hold you accountable to your word. Integrity is the heartbeat of the coach/client dynamic.

If we can bring fresh awareness to our past, it becomes our teacher. In this spirit, we’ll also explore what historically holds you back, paying special attention to chronic tendencies and longer-term patterns. Oftentimes, our self-imposed limitations live in habituated behavior, subconscious conditioning, and blind spots of self-awareness. It can be startling to see how much we’ve been getting in our own way. As your life coach, I will work with you to shine Light on these darkened, neglected areas within.

As you bring healing into your body and mind, you become empowered to make new, aligned choices in the Present. From this empowered space of Awareness, we create a new future, Now. If you’re ready to start your journey, let's meet meet over Zoom and discuss the possibilities.

Namasté,
Matthew
