CLIENT 2019

“I have decided to finally bite the bullet and go travelling!  […] I feel liberated.  I have finally put to bed some of the hang-ups I had.  I thank you for making me realize that my mum had her own demons and she wasn’t all that bad. […] Thanks again for the help and support that you gave to me and letting me understand me better.

 

WORKSHOP – Sept 2018

• Surprising and fresh approach and delivery. I’d like to hear more from Matilde – perhaps a workshop in Eccles. She knowledgeably contained important points of shame – very skilled and confident the time was well spent.
• Really thought-provoking. Would be interested in attending a full day’s workshop.
• Radically releasing.
• Interesting and lots of food for thought. Nice to know that someone else uses alternative therapies and works from home in a lived-in room rather than a sterile environment.

BJ2016

Matilde’s eight workshop series is inspirational and has enabled me to gain a deeper, more comprehensive and probing insight into my history of addiction, but more importantly a greater clarity around my choices for a healthier, self-actualising future life pathway. Participants are taken on an emotional, psychological and spiritual journey exploring aspects of their individual psycho-social development and personal trauma that may have contributed to their difficulties. We were encouraged, supported and empowered to own our feelings and work through the pain and suffering so often characteristic of our individual backgrounds in order to forge a concrete plan to progress forwards with an increased sense of self-esteem and ability to live true to our core values. Matilde possesses a special gift, a razor sharp empathic awareness of our individual struggles, an emotional intuition, a particular form of sensitivity and insight into the depths of human vulnerability. Via the vehicles of creative expression in various forms, alongside the development of individual memory boxes and group-based discussion Matilde’s thought-provoking workshops kindle a passion for recovery and stimulate a level of self-compassion and personal empowerment that provide a firm foundation to construct a better version of self.

 

JM2015

Dear Matilde, thank you so much for your time and effort over the last seven weeks. I’ve really enjoyed working with you and I have learned so much about life but most of all I’ve learned about myself. I feel like I’ve worked through the stages you have taught us about and I feel that I’m being true to myself. I feel that I know who I am. (…) I feel a lot happier in myself and I feel I can sit with myself no matter what now. Thank you again for helping me to help myself because this is the best I’ve ever felt throughout my life and it’s only going to get better.
