Thriving Oak Wellness: Massage and Psychotherapy

Matthew has been doing body work on me for quite some time. And I have to say, every time I'm in his presence, not only does my body get the relief that it's so desperately needs, but my mind and soul benefit greatly as well. Throughout the years, I've had many body workers and chiropractors, and I have to say that Matthew's touch is by far the most superior in connection to my needs.

I can't recommend Matthew's services enough! He is thorough in the intake and personalizes each massage to whatever is going on that day. It's clear he takes the craft very seriously and offers an uncommon mastery. Matthew's touch is confident and comforting. He treats the body with reverence and consistently "tunes in" to adapt his work. He uncovered tension I hadn't mentioned to him during the intake and adjusted his plan to address it, along with my requested focuses. What a gift! Matthew's home studio is also well-appointed with flowers and art that create a sacred and comforting ambience. To put it simply: the whole experience is healing and soothing. You won't regret booking a massage with Matthew.

Matthew brings highly tuned skills to his work. His depth of awareness on all levels physical, intellectual, emotional, intuitive insures I am met where I am and inspires me to a more profound version of myself. I highly recommend Matthew.

Matthew offers tranquility and relaxation from the moment you arrive for your massage. The start of the appointment is him understanding your body’s needs and areas of concern before the session begins. Throughout the time he checks in and makes sure to provide the best quality of service. Not only do you lose track of time while on the table, but you leave feeling rested and ready to tackle the rest of the day. It’s easy to become a repeat client with how easy Matthew makes scheduling and with how thorough his approach is.

I met Matthew when I went to the NHI Massage School for a student massage, and I was so impressed by his talent, and sense of touch that I made several calls to track him down. He understands massage and the human body on a level deeper than anyone I’ve ever worked with. His massages change the way I relate to my daily life, and have taught me to relax more deeply in any given moment. I have the utmost level of trust in Matthew. He doesn’t just lie me down and give me a massage, but he always checks in with how I’m doing and where I’m at in life, then gives me a massage customized to my body and mind on that day. He truly has my best interest in mind and seeks to heal with massage, but also with friendship, care, and concern. If I ever leave Sonoma county, I'll be in trouble finding a ma
