About Matty

After a career as a self defense instructor in the UK, and former MMA fighter, Matty found his way to the medicine space after an accident in 2018 that left him in a wheelchair for several months. During that time he had a calling to face a family related trauma that had been buried deep inside and was on the search for something but was not sure what it was. He was looking for an alternative approach and that is when he found his way to work with ceremonial plant medicines such as Ayahuasca and Psilocybin, among others. This has led to a deep dive into work with Mestizo lineages of Mexico and Peru, and as of late with the Shipibo tradition.

When Matty started working with plant medicines, he found a deeply profound connection to spirit and himself. This allowed him to cleanse on many levels, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It started first with his physical and mental state. Learning about nutrition and how it plays an integral role in all that it does for the body has had a direct relation on how the mind functions. He found that being disciplined not only helps with training but also allows him to challenge his mental limitations. This is the core foundation to his work as a coach and a trainer.

He has been working with groups and individuals in mentally challenging physical and emotional environments for over 25 years. He now focuses on bringing a spiritual element to this environment through breathing exercises, meditation, chanting, movement and other self-care practices.

Through this process his path opened up to several opportunities. It brought him to working deeply with the healing plants of Peru, including the work with Ayahuasca and plant dietas with the previous owners of La Medicina. The next has been an ongoing opportunity to work as a Liaison and Coach with the non-profit, Heroic Hearts Project both USA and UK, that helps bring Veterans to the plant medicine space in Peru, as well as Mexico to help with PTSD, depression, TBI’s and other ailments. He is now facilitating at La Medicina again, and is extremely grateful for all of the opportunities the plants have provided through a deep sense of healing and trusting his path.
