Healing bodywork with Matej

I believe that our experiences and preconditioned impressions limit the fullness of life we could lead and the potential that lies within each and every one of us. Working with your body CAN eventually get you on top of all the limiting beliefs, see them for what they truly are and where they come from, and finally rise above them. Attuning to your body and working with it, I will assist you in facing pain, memories, feelings, and emotions. And only when they no longer serve you, you will let them go.

This is what I offer:

DERT – Deep Emotional Release Therapy ©®

DERT – Deep Emotional Release Therapy ©® is a hands-on deep bodywork that can be done with or without oils, undressed or fully clothed, working slowly but deep into your tissues. I developed this technique integrating several different bodywork modalities and Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. Clients generally report feeling incredibly light and pain-free after the session. It’s recommended for any tightness or pains in the body as well as addressing mind-gut-body related issues.

Understanding how every situation in life leaves us with memories stored in our body this work is intended to locate and release these long-lost and forgotten feelings and emotions, help you recognize them for what they are, and with that bring lasting relief. Treatment is used to deal with all sorts of physical ailments but be prepared to discover the unexpected.

DURATION: 60/75/90 min

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (Safe during pregnancy & postpartum too)

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle hands-on Osteopathic technique, interacting with subtle rhythmic movements of the body’s tissues and fluids. Treatment can be used to deal with all sorts of physical ailments including migraines, menstrual cramps, TMJ, IBS, pulled muscles, and sleep issues. It helps with post-op recovery and supports the immune system with autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances. At the same time, it is a wonderful and gentle way to work with emotional trauma, anxiety, stress, and depression.

It’s highly recommended pre and post natal, equally beneficial with preparing expectant mothers for childbirth as well as addressing any traumas and/or issues with newborns.

By facilitating the body’s innate ability to heal itself rather than manipulating or setting different tissues, this profound therapy provides the space to heal. Its gentle and light, yet deeply transformative touch will assist your body with what it does best – heal itself. It’s performed on you lying down fully clothed.

DURATION: 45/60/75 min

Marma Therapy / Sleep Therapy

MARMA THERAPY/SLEEP THERAPY (Marma – secret/vital/hidden point) is an ancient Ayurvedic touch technique/treatment that gently stimulates certain 108 points on the body, head, and face thus rebalancing the energy and removing blocks from the subtle channels that carry the flow of life energy. This ancient technique is used to address a broad spectrum of systemic and sensory issues and has proven to be very beneficial for clients suffering from sleep issues, headaches and/or migraines, IBS, and hormonal imbalances to name just a few. Its results are generally deeply relaxing and revitalizing. Marma is performed on you lying down fully clothed.

DURATION: 45/60 min

Craniosacral Therapy for babies

Craniosacral therapy is a complementary therapy - a gentle hands-on treatment that may involve treating the head as well as the rest of the body. It aims to un-do the stress, strains, and trauma effects of the birth process. Parents commonly bring their babies for craniosacral therapy treatment if they are suffering from colic or other digestive problems, are unsettled, or have problems sleeping. Most children find the sessions to be deeply relaxing. Babies and children will often sleep for a longer stretch than usual after a session. Very young babies will often only need 1 or 2 sessions.

Breathwork

Various breathing techniques, helping to destress, ground, and realign with the best version of oneself; providing effective and handy tools to maintain balance in daily life.

DURATION: 3x 60 min

Meet Matej

Ayurvedic & Craniosacral therapist, Emotional Release Bodywork

Mental and physical well-being has been at the forefront of my everyday life growing up in a family with both loving parents being physicians and it must have rubbed off.

As a child I would often sit in silence and disappear in my thoughts, finding it immensely peaceful. Early experiences with a serene state of mind which is a prerequisite for any therapeutic work made it very easy to effortlessly tune in later on in life when I professionally needed it. I studied Philosophy and Theology but that just hasn’t provided the answers I’ve been looking for.

I found my tribe in the seclusion of the Black forest, where I embarked on a path of healing in my early twenties. Communal living and seven years of intensive spiritual practices at the International Centre of the Art of Living sealed my intent to be the healer drawing my inspiration from the ancient holistic medical system - Ayurveda (The Knowledge of Life). After acquiring an Ayurvedic Tech Certificate in Germany in 1998 and passing an internship program I specialised in Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatments and therapies. I went on to teach Marma therapy in India, Bengaluru where I became acquainted with Craniosacral work. And so it began. For the next seven years, I’ve been adding more knowledge and experiences to my healing work, leading an Ayurvedic clinic in Croatia where I settled and created a family. I went on to study Craniosacral therapy in Swiss Kientalerhof and completed the studies at Slovenia’s School for Somatic Therapy associated with Karuna Institute in the UK. Here I continued post-grad studies with Franklyn Sills and acquired a Certificate of Advanced deep tissue massage.

Since 2014, I live in the UK and serve as a facilitator of body, mind, and soul healing practices, as many of my clients describe my services. I regularly cooperate with iconic Triyoga in Chelsea and have worked as a therapist and managed teams in all Equinox health clubs in London. I have organised and led retreats for Aman Resorts and currently working on a new similar offer for my London clients. As a fully insured body worker, I am accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
