“I feel really grateful to work with Dr. Matt. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and present with his clients and students. Dr. Matt has a beautiful way of blending the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern medicine. He has been my teacher for almost 10 years. In that time, I have learned Ayurveda and use the ancient wisdom in my work. As a yoga and bodywork practitioner, I am able to serve my clients better, and individualize their care more. Having Dr. Matt as a resource has been life changing. I highly recommend working with him!”
