relating with life 

meeting life through the body 

imagine life meeting life

Hi, my name is Mattea.
I offer companionship, support, and care for people in times of change, transformation, and transition.
 
My offerings include bodywork, massage rituals, doula accompaniment, workshops, and emergent group spaces.
 
Essentially, my work is about meeting life through the body, in the present moment, with gentleness, curiosity, and energy.
 
My role is to accompany and support you on your path, and, when needed, to help you find the right kind of care or connect you with a trusted network of professionals and practitioners offering complementary modalities such as breath work, communication workshops, and other supportive practices.
 
*Please note that my work is not a form of medical or psychological therapy, nor does it replace such. It is intended as additional service, personal support, resource, and companionship for those wishing to connect more deeply with themselves in these life chapters of change. 
 
I’m really looking forward to meeting you!
 
Warmly,
Mattea

We are

relational

beings.

As we explore the relationships with ourselves, our bodies, each other, and the world around us, we meet reality in its felt sense,  in its unique complexity. Connecting what is separate, bridging worlds, and exploring edges is the current that has moved me through my own life journey.
 
My work holds the intention of cultivating a culture of care and connection by inviting tools of self-inquiry, nature-based practices, ritual, embodiment, and collective inquiry, to see life from many angles and find deeper truth in complexity.
 
Through crafting spaces of care, somatic bodywork, doula work, and other spaces I open, I serve people in transitional stages of life, accompanying them into deeper layers of relationality with themselves, their bodies, their loved ones, and the world around them.
 
My role is to accompany and support, not to diagnose or treat.
When appropriate, I help people find the kind of professional care or complementary support that fits their situation, drawing from a trusted network of practitioners and facilitators working in related fields such as breathwork, communication, or nature-based practices.
 
I warmly welcome LGBTQIA+, POC, and people of all identities, bodies, and backgrounds to my offerings and the spaces I create.
I want to honor the ongoing impact of historical and systemic injustice. I’m committed to creating spaces that try to be aware, respectful, and accessible, and therefore I offer a couple of reduced pricing spots for BIPOC, trans*, and non-binary people, people with disabilities, and single mothers/parents, as a gesture of responsiblility, care & support - feel welcome to reach out.

BODYWORK & MASSAGE

I offer transformational bodywork and massage that create a space for deep relaxation and support you in gently reconnecting with your body, senses, intuition, and creativity, an exploration of touch that nurtures, restores, and invites aliveness and simplicity.

DOULA SERVICES

I accompany birth, loss, and life transitions with presence and care, offering emotional and embodied support on the journey of listening to, learning from, and trusting your body.
 
I also offer pregnancy massage and postpartum bodywork to support relaxation, integration, and grounding.

FACILIATION

I create and guide experiences where people can slow down, explore embodiment, and practice new ways of relating, with themselves, with one another, and with nature.
 
These journeys take many forms, and upcoming offerings can be found in the newsletter.

About Mattea

B38464ED-ADF9-455B-B996-447260DF9026_1_201_a.jpeg
My work continuously grows from an ongoing exploration of what it means to be human, how we relate to ourselves, to one another, and to the living world. With roots in cultural anthropology, bodywork, somatic awareness, holistic health, group facilitation, and nature-based practices, I have walked many different paths of learning and listening, to the body, to the land, and to the stories that shape us.
 
As a practitioner, I value spaces that invite acceptance, simplicity, and gentle, embodied presence. My background in massage and somatic coaching, with influences from craniosacral wellness treatment and energy work, meets a continuous inquiry into collective conditioning and ideas of ‘well-being’: how patterns of whiteness, colonialism, and capitalism shape our ways of being, and how we might remember more humble, gentle, slow, and relational ways.
 
Today I see care work as a form of activism: tending to what is fragile and emergent in human experience, while following the deeper questions of belonging, resilience, and transformation. At the moment my path has naturally expanding into offering birth work and becoming a birth doula, and I also accompany people at life’s thresholds of change, grief and loss. 
 
In all that I offer, I cultivate an atmosphere of rooted strength, tenderness, and curiosity, supporting people in discovering new perspectives, creative expression, and deeper connection with the living currents of life.
If you wanna know more about me and my backround message me personally.

How to work with me?

Feel free to reach out to me via the contact form with any questions or requests, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
 
For doula accompaniment, I offer a free online or in-person meeting to get to know each other and explore your needs. From there, we can schedule a first session or plan for longer-term support.
 
If your situation requires other forms of care, we’ll have a call to assess it together, and I can forward you to a trusted professional or network of practitioners.
