Matthew is a Certified Sound Therapist and graduated from the Soundwise Health School of Harmonic Therapy Program with Lana Ryder, LMT, HTA, AADP, URMT. He is also a Reiki Practitioner and Graduate Student of the Mystery School Level II at Bee Present Wellness. 

Matthew has always felt a divine connection with nature and those around him and considers himself a student of life and its ebb and flow. He strives to find the beauty in each opportunity, especially the more challenging moments and seasons of life. Always flowing to come back to a space of understanding, love, and compassion.

He honors the wisdom of using sound vibrations and frequencies as a tool for working with the emotional, physical, and spiritual body to move and clear energy and bring us back into a more balanced state. It's been in his practice of Sound that he has found the most stillness and enjoys the use of the gong, drums, chimes, rattles, rain sticks, singing bowls, and other instruments to help facilitate this inner journey of stillness.

Matthew is an associate and assistant teacher at the Soundwise Health School of Harmonic Therapy in Lancaster, PA where he has the honor of working with the Director of the School, Lana Ryder, along with other amazing, heart-based sound practitioners.

Matthew enjoys exploring outside while homeschooling his two children: Tigerlily (7) and Rowen (6). When he's not orchestrating healing vibrations in the community, you'll find Matthew connecting deeply with others or immersed in an orchestra of various projects.

He enjoys learning and is always looking for new opportunities to stretch himself. From woodworking, and house renovations, to getting his bare hands and feet in the soil. With a holistic, whole-systems perspective, he crafts inventive, nature-aligned solutions, embodying a harmonious relationship within himself, the environment, and the people around him.

Matthew's passion lies in fostering community bonds. His steadfast dedication to building genuine connections mirrors his belief in the healing potential for both ourselves and the planet. He creates a welcoming space for all, acknowledging the inherent strength within us to connect with our inner selves and embrace compassion, acceptance, and self-love.
