The art of being you

At the centre of our being is our heart, our gateway to the unlimited. The place where joy and peace live. We often prioritise thought, being busy and needing to get stuff done. We think therefore we are, right? No, thinking is a product of our brain, a tool you use. Our heart is the gateway to wisdom, where we are free of limitation Our thoughts, our diversity are the tools we use to become who we are meant to be. We use the ACT process - Awareness - Connection - Transformation The process of healing is about raising Awareness that a part of us needs resolution. Feeling safe enough to Connect with the trauma, and use its fuel to create Transformation. It is the process we call life, the ACT of becoming more. Your life is about creating your tapestry - The Art Of Being You See you soon - Matthew, the Life Mechanic

WHAT WE OFFER

The Art Of Being You

Our foundation programme has been fine tuned over 20 years. At its core is the belief that we are here for a purpose. We have lessons to learn, and a place in the larger framework of the world. This programme gives you the chance to explore what that is, and what holds you back from having it. Life is about the experience, and how well you connect with it. Our connection with self, and those around us is what gives us fulfilment. We can't change what we did, only what we do. What would you give to have the life your heart desires? The best time to change is right NOW. You bring the courage and we do the rest

What others say
I would absolutely recommend the Art of Being Men course to anyone thinking about attending. I have learned a lot techniques and practical applications I will continue to carry into my personal and professional life. It is without a doubt worth it.

I remember my partner asking how my appointment wiht Matthew went. And the first word that came to mind was profound. At the time I didn't understand what profound meant. So I typed the word into Google and sur enough it had precisely explained my expereience. I've been seeing Mattthew for almost a year now and i'm noticing that i'm not so worried and anxious about what will happen in a session. Now, its a sense of excitement towards what sort of path we will go down together. I am taken back by the time and thought Matthew puts into his sessions

I genuinely see the world, myself, and my relationships differently now after working with Matthew one-on-one. He helped me connect with a part of myself that had been neglected for years. If you're interested in life-changing personal development, I highly recommend working with Matthew in any capacity you can.
