About 

Matu was educated as a dramaturg in the field of theater. However, through her own personal process of falling sick and getting burnt out she realised a change was needed. While travelling the world she found her journey led to deep inner exploration. Over the years she's walked many different routes, always commited to inner growth and discovery, trying to cultivate a sense of curiosity in all she encounters. In doing so slowly gaining the tools and experience to help others navigate their inner journey. 

Her studies have Indian roots in Ashtanga Yoga, under the guidance of Kamal Singh, and Abhyanga Ayurvedic Massage, with doctor Arun Sharma. Plant medicine came into her life and opened a path of Andean tradition as well as studies within the lineage of the Shipibo tribe of Peru and the Yawanawa tribe of Brazil. The plants opened unknown doors, leading her to the core of her being and soon called her to deepen the work by supporting ceremonies. She dove in without question, which meant doing a lot of her own inner work and getting to know and navigate these spaces of altered states of consciousness very well.
Her studies continue on a daily basis, cultivating relationship with plants, learning how to listen and receive their teachings. 

She studied Reiki under the guidance of Reiki Master Justine van Wassenaer and has been working with different ways of energetic work since. The healing power of sound and music entered her life in ceremony and slowly made it's way into the development of a finely attuned and own way of working combining her experiences with sound, touch and energetics. She thoroughly enjoys singing and is looking forward to birth an album in the future. 

In 2022 she deepened her studies in spaceholding by training with Atira Tan, trauma expert and head of integration at Aya Healing Retreats. Becoming a Trauma informed Plant Medicine Facilitator brought  more clarity on how to help clients navigate challenging experiences should those arise in a circle or ceremony. 

She trained with the International Association of Kambô Practioners, under the guidance of master practitioner Alan Schechner. She has since been working as a Kambô Practitioners  serving this medicine of deep cleansing and the wisdom teachings of the frog. 

Reverence and humbleness in this work is crucial to Matu. To truly acknowledge the powerful plant and animal allies we are working with and to not take working with them lightly. In her work you will find that integrity is of the highest importance and she takes great care in assessing wether or not it is in alignement to assist you into this deep work. A devoted commitment to not just speak, but to fully embody and live truth & love lies at the heart of her life and work. 

She feels deeply grateful and humbled each time she gets to witness the incredibly vulnerable, raw, wide open and transformative processes her clients move through. Each time knowing deeper how much it matters, holding each other through these times.

"May our rebirthing happen in an attuned and loving environment so that we feel safe enough to keep choosing love over and over and over again."

This is her prayer, her mission and vision for herself, her work and the world around her. A trust so deep, a love so strong and a unity that is simply unbreakable. Matu looks forward to be here for you if you desire support in walking this path.
