Cherished Connections...

Below are stories of people just like you. We all have common themes that challenge, distance and weave us back together. You are uniquely you and I hope these stories can be a support and inspiration.

 

Sex, Relating & Intimacy Coaching

 

“Matia holds space like an ancient redwood. Her ability to listen deeply is extraordinary but most of all, she listens and feels from the heart, light being to light being. I found great growth in our month working together.”

-Will, Nevada City, Ca


"My partner and I were going through a difficult period. We were having trouble communicating about a traumatic event.  Help from Matia was a god-send. We both felt Matia was completely in-tune and sensitive to our experiences and feelings.  She asked perceptive, helpful questions, gave us space at just the right moments, and perceptively tracked our feelings and reactions during session.  Matia is incredibly intuitive and was, wonderfully, truly emotionally with both of us.   She is a great healer/counselor/therapist.  I cannot recommend Matia more highly."

- Z.C., San Francisco, Ca

“Sessions with Matia  transformed our experiences with intimacy and sex in our marriage.

After sessions with Matia via Teleconference, My husband and I found a new way of approaching sex and intimacy together. 

We learned to look at each other's needs and interests with curiosity rather than judgement, and personalizing the other's needs. We slowed down, and became more aware and mindful of each of our own sexual needs, boundaries, and desires. I began exploring my own sensuality and looking at it as something I can turn on or off, in the ways that work for me and not leaving it up to my husband to do. He also listens more to my needs to move slower, and is open to the activities/ exercises Matia suggested for us. Now we usually pick one of them during a scheduled time of intimacy (scheduled because we have 2 small children). The activities give us a starting point, and leaves us both feeling comfortable without expectation or judgement. 

I have further explored my personal blocks to intimacy, and have been working on them on a personal level. Before we saw Matia discussing sex was difficult and taboo for us because it mostly led to fighting. After the sessions with Matia we have been able to openly discuss where we are at and what each of us needs. We loved our experience with her and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with sex or intimacy!”

-Lisa- Seattle, Wa



"Imagine being afraid of the deep shadow parts of yourself and hiding them. Then imagine being in joy; being seen, held and accepted. Matia’s grounded presence, easy smile and quiet kindness allowed me to express my fears without judgment. I share my relationship stories, and her intuitive manner elicits new insights, while making my vulnerabilities feel safe.  Her ability to sink, almost dance~like with my energy, and move with my clumsiness and angst, permitted me to trust my body, needs, and desires. After each somatic coaching session with her, my heart feels full, my body is alive and relaxed, my mind is calm, and I feel like I can conquer the world.  Give yourself the gift of growing gently and joyfully into all that you are with Matia."

-Sri M, CT

 

"Matia's perceptiveness and insight were miraculous! With her thoughtful and sensitive guidance, my partner and I were able to make real progress in dealing with some of our relationship issues in our first session. I felt so safely held and understood in our session, like she really got me and we were working in partnership to help make progress. Her ability to presence and uncover the deeper meaning of my words was such a gift. Feeling very grateful." 

-J.D., Grass Valley, CA



"Matia is incredibly skillful in working with people of all backgrounds with intimacy. She is welcoming, professional, and thorough. I have, and will continue to recommend clients to her." 

-C.M., Nevada City, Ca


“Within minutes of meeting Matia, I relaxed. She is compassionate, smart and trustworthy. Her kind, gentle nature creates an environment which allows me to feel comfortable, while meeting my growing edge. In the time we have spent together, Matia has given me insight into how I should be looking at myself vs. how I had been. I was trapped and ashamed and Matia provided me with all the tools and resources to achieve a wonderful life. I am eternally grateful to her for the professionalism, suggestions and guidance she gives me. Matia is, without a doubt, an exceptionally gifted guide with an amazing way of sharing her knowledge through her unbelievable embodied kindness. It has been an honor to work with her.”

- Mark, San Francisco, CA

Sexological Bodywork

 

"Matia is a knowledgeable and skillful practitioner. She has a strong presence that is at once playful and caring. Working with her, I felt able to go deeply into an inner awareness of my body, while at the same time I was able to communicate – with words and gestures – so that every touch I received felt clear and “right.” The series we did on healing and awakening the G-Spot was profound. I was able to release much grief, heal old wounds, and then explore new pleasures."

- Caffyn Jesse, B.C. www.erospirit.ca

Play Party Facilitation

“Matia did an incredible job of threading the needle between desire and sweetness by letting passion flourish, but, also, creating a safe place where we all learned through various exercises that asking permission comes first. I felt that Matia was there for us and was masterful in creating an environment where I felt I could let down some defenses and have the experience of being a more open person. The best part is that it has remained with me in my life! Extraordinary event.”

D. -Nevada City, Ca

“Matia was a wonderful facilitator at Nourish. Matia and I met through partner dancing. She brings the same inviting, warm and playful energy to the play party, as she does to dance. Nourish was my second play party. I went in excited, but with a little anxiety. Matia and Hazel-Grace crafted such a fun, safe, easygoing container. By the end of our guided warm up, I was still excited, yet calm, open and curious. It was incredible to be in an environment where perfect strangers could be their most intimate selves with each other. There were times it seemed so familiar, as though it was a house party amongst friends.  There were also so many times where it was completely different in a wild, sexy way!”

Alex- Nevada city, Ca 

Integrative Bodywork/Massage

 

"Matia embodies both the gentle listening to what my body needs as well as the incredible skill set to support my body to realign effortlessly.  I have seen Matia over the last three years when I have had structural issues due to injury which has resulted in my body being painfully out of alignment.  After I receive just one cranio~sacral session with her, the pain decreases immediately and within 24 hours, my body realigns.  Her grounding presence and intact sense of intuition continue to astound me in our sessions together.  I am forever grateful for her gift of impeccable body work." 

- Victoria Moran, LMFT

 

"Matia Divitt is an extraordinarily intuitive and skilled massage therapist. She discovered knots I didn’t know I had, working each of them only as deeply as necessary, without pushing me beyond my limits, allowing me to breathe through the discomfort and release much of the tension. By the end of my last massage with her, I felt physically reintegrated and restored, as well as deliciously relaxed. Her presence is wonderfully nurturing and peaceful, allowing me to completely entrust my body into her care. That is such a great gift to receive."

-Richard, Breitenbush Hot Springs, OR

 

“Matia is as good as it gets. Possibly even better! Great strength, a great sense of authority, attuned articulation and sensitivity with her hands, a real instinct for finding the right place, excellent pacing, and a loving professional manner. Her mastery is obvious on the scale of the whole body, and her Taoist abdominal work is unique and penetrating to a degree I could not believe. I've always wondered what would happen if someone REALLY focused on my belly. Well I found out. If you're serious about getting to some new emotional depths, as well as clearing out your gut, Matia's work is a blessing, blessing, blessing.“   

-Robert S. Grass Valley, CA

 

“Meeting a new body worker is always a bit of a crap shoot, you never know what you are going to get. I was absolutely blown away by Matia's skills. She was able to read me and adjust based upon tension she found in different parts of my body. Matia found my issues and gave my body the therapy it was asking for, without my saying. She implemented breathing techniques during my massage that inspired a peaceful, meditative state to receive her healing. Never have I found a healer so in-tune with me. I came in a frazzled mess, full of tension and I left feeling like a weight was lifted from me. Matia is worth a visit. She is amazing! “

-Jason E., Auburn, CA

 

“I recently had a massage from Matia!! She is by far the best massage therapist I have ever seen. She found places that I didn’t know were tight and relaxed them. She is knowledgeable and dedicated to her clients. I recommend her to all! “

-Kris P., Grass Valley, CA

 

“In this lifetime I have been availing myself of the healing arts and have been blessed to be touched by a few select healers who truly know what they are doing. Matia has the skills, strength and intuitive touch of a grand master. What impressed me the most was the way in which she provided a breathing rhythm and cues allowing her work to have the best possible effect. A truly delightful session in a most relaxing atmosphere..."

-Robert G, Costa Mesa, CA

 

“I thoroughly enjoy my massages from Matia. I am able to relax deeply on the table with her. She is strong, yet intuitive, and really loves what she does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your next massage in town.”  

-Sara J. Vallejo, CA
