The Soul's Return to Center

Somatic Therapist for Trauma Healing  Transformation

Matt Johnson works as a Somatic Therapist, Embodiment coach and ceremonialist located in Squamish, BC, Canada .

My name is Matt, I practice Whole Human Healing

My work is a homecoming to the body. It is a slow, ceremonial descent into the visceral language of the nervous system. We do not just talk about healing; we inhabit it. Through a trauma-informed lens, I guide you into the layers where your story is etched—not just in memory, but in the fascia, the breath, and the quiet rhythms of your soul. 

This is a Journey out of mind,
through the nervous system,

into your heart.

In this space, we prioritize somatic attunement and nervous system regulation. I equip you with the tools your mind and body need to harmonize. This is the foundation upon which your resilience is built. By creating a regulated container, we allow the body to release what it has been holding and reclaim its innate capacity for grounded presence and soul-level vitality.

I'm here to guide you  as you reclaim your agency in life, break free from the conditioned patterns of your past and transform.

I invite you to remember your essence,
to create a future inspired by your highest self,
no longer bound by the story of your trauma.

Intuitive Presence

Matt is a multidisciplinary healer who weaves research based scientific methods with ancient shamanic wisdom into a unique and integrative approach. He believes supporting the body, mind and spiritual dimensions of the human experience enables deeper healing, and empowers us with expanded consciousness. Matt brings an intuitive presence and profound insight to the space he holds for healing, no matter where you are arriving from.

Empowering Education

Matt is a passionate teacher who believes in empowering people with tools to heal, grow, and evolve under their own power. He teaches that our “growth edge” often emerges in discomfort, and that working skillfully with this edge can transform our relationship to our suffering. By offering subtle consciousness-shifting practices, he invites clients to reclaim their healing process and expand their capacity for life.

Holistic Experience

His holistic method looks beyond symptoms to explore lifestyle, movement, and emotional history, uncovering root causes of our pain. In persona treatments may include a blend of bodywork , myofascial release, sound healing, shamanic tools, guided breathwork, and somatic therapy techniques. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, he works to harmonize the entire body-mind-spirit system, guiding clients to reconnect to their innate healing intelligence, and their highest expression of self.

The Importance of Play

Matt's playful spirit supports exploring our relationship to pain without forgetting joy in the healing and growth process. His background in competition climbing instilled in him the power of play as a teacher, and the importance of laughter as medicine, especially when facing fear or discomfort. He believes that reconnection to joy is one of the most powerful foundations for both initial healing and sustained growth. His sessions are more than treatments—they are ceremonies of reconnection.
