Initially I felt reluctant to embrace the journey of going inward because I didn’t want to face looking at the pain of past trauma and grief.  But it was the only way to heal.

- Zorica S.

Let me start off by simply stating that I have experienced greater results from Matthew Berean’s work than from all the practitioners combined who I’ve worked with over the past 15 years.  

- Carrie D.

Not only did Matthew help me heal, but fundamentally changed the way I look at my well being.

-  Sebastian M.

Within a few sessions, my stride opened, my breath deepened, and my mind expanded in its understanding of my body's capabilities and the impact I could have upon it, in this journey of re-balancing and grounding myself in this world.

- Colleen E.

Matthew possesses an effortless ability to balance many seeming contradictions. He is genuinely warm yet meticulously professional. He is open while maintaining clear boundaries. His strongly grounded physical presence does not overwhelm his subtle energetic awareness. His meditation practice informs his bodywork practice and he seamlessly blends his experiential knowledge with his deeply intuitive nature.

- Jenny M.

Matthew has made me a more self-aware person, and taught me methods to treat myself (including posture, yoga and relaxation techniques) which in turn offers a sense of empowerment.

- MELANIE G.

After the very first treatment I had complete range of shoulder movement and a huge reduction of pain in my neck.

- JOHN H.

Overall, the work with Matthew has benefited my training, improved my flexibility and increased my awareness of my body.

- Bob V M.D.

As an office worker, injury-prone runner, and yoga teacher, his unparalleled intuition for untangling knots and recommending yoga pose “homework” is a true blessing. 

- Jen

So, after 3 minutes of light touch, some coaching to be aware and ‘breathe into’ those areas, and never actually touching my lower back, I got off the table feeling about 50-60% relieved of my back pain and discomfort.  I thought, if he can do that in 3 minutes, what could happen in a full private session?

- Kelly H.

Matthew has really helped me with alignment of my legs. My feet now point forward when I walk and my stride has improved considerably.

- KAREN Y.

I've only had one Rolfing appointment and done 4 yoga classes with Matthew and my shoulder pain is almost gone.

- Mary H.

If you’re looking to “shift” how you’re feeling in and with your body, I highly recommend making a few visits to Matthew Berean.

- Anna B.

… our work still reverberates daily and I am left transformed in ways that do not require me to remember how to do anything, but just to be the person that I became as a direct result of the work we did together in the 6 sessions.  

- Fred Moss M.D.

The lasting results I experience are seldom achieved in other body worker professionals.

- Lesa B.

I connected with Matthew Berean and have been extremely impressed with his approach, professionalism, skills, and most important, the results. 

- JOAKIM B.

The often instantaneous results and sustained benefits of Matthew’s treatments are impressive and strongly contribute to my ability to maintain a comfortable, pain-free/reduced-pain life.

- ANONYMOUS

I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone, especially those with chronic symptoms that can't seem to be fixed.

- Del

Being a yoga teacher myself, I love coming to his class not only for my own healing benefits, but also to understand yoga poses from a deeper level, learn new ways of adjusting students and giving precise instructions, as well as to understand the underlying processes and connections within the human body and mind.

- Petra Hurtado PhD.

Matthew is by far the best hatha yoga instructor I've encountered.

- Jeff K.

Initially, I found Matthew through his yoga classes and was amazed by his keen knowledge and how profoundly different it was to most classes I had participated in throughout my 20+ years of practicing.

- Anonomous

Matthew’s deep knowledge of the body informs his precise instructions and careful adjustments. I leave Matthew’s classes feeling uplifted and at peace. 

- Jothie R.

Very skilled practitioner. Intuitive and knowledgeable, with excellent manual therapy skills.
