ABOUT THE TREATMENT
The techniques and points used are determined by the needs of the patient at that time. The number and frequency of treatments needed varies from person to person.
It’s ideal to create some space around your treatment time without high-intensity obligations. While its fine to go right back to work, it’s beneficial to take time to rest and integrate. People experience various things during and after treatment. Changes can occur immediately, or happen days later. Some feel an immediate sense of well-being while others experience symptoms of detoxification.

Wellness through proper
diet and Lifestyle
Proper lifestyle of body, mind and spirit is essential for healing and wellbeing. Each of us is a unique expression of nature. We have a purpose to fulfill and relationships to create and cultivate. The Chinese character for life denotes a rice pot, the rice cooking inside and the lid moving up and down. When, whether in body, mind or spirt, we lose attunement with our true nature, symptoms arise. Dis-ease begins when the rice pot lid gets stuck somewhere and is not released.
Symptoms can be interpreted as a call to realign with life. Treatment can help to restore a person to their natural state of happiness and well-being. Health is the result of a balanced expression of oneself. It is the capacity for autonomous action. It is the capacity to navigate life mindfully, without harming oneself or others.
Wellness is about the day to day. Treatment done in the context of proper lifestyle creates and maintains a sense of harmony. Proper lifestyle means ahmisa (non-harming) on all levels. For the body it appears as proper breathing, movement and a simple cleansing diet. For the mind it is elimination of negative thoughts and concentration on positive ones. For the spirit, attunement to inner peace and joy.
“Matt is an absolute pro! I was having pain in several places and was going on a long trip and wanted fixed. A friend recommended Matt. He was great to work with. His center is clean and fresh and his practice well organized. Three things that I especially appreciate about Matt:
1. He didn’t make huge exaggerated claims and talk in absolute certainties. He was real with me and explained the pro’s and con’s of what I might expect. That was refreshing and made me confident I was in good hands.
2. He didn’t push things on me and/or string out my treatments. I felt like I could trust him to get the job done.
3. It worked. My pain subsided and hasn’t returned! Thanks Matt”
