Matthew graduated from the International Academy of Massage Therapy in Ottawa, completing the accelerated program in 2019. He has been studying body mechanics and healing for more than 15 years.

Matthew specialises in treating chronic pain; from old injuries or repetitive use, with Fascial Restructuring.

When a person has pain or lack of normal movement there is a problem along a chain of muscles. Fascial restructuring is a unique approach getting to the core of the problem. Usually where you are experiencing the pain is not the source of the problem. That is a symptom resulting from another part of the muscle chain that is “stuck”. By releasing the part that is “stuck” it allows the muscles that are over worked to relax and go back into place; increasing range of motion and relieving pain. Using the maps of fascial lines that outline how the body’s muscle systems function together gives a guide of where to look based on your symptoms. Using sustained pressure the body will naturally release and move back into place. Using this method you can make lasting changes, relieving chronic pain.

Hello! I'm Viktoria. How would you like to embark on a healing journey today? My approach to massage therapy is a harmonious partnership between your unique needs, as you've identified them, and my expertise. I embrace a flexible approach, tailored to meet you where you are in your healing process.

I draw from a wide array of techniques, ranging in depth and intensity, including Thai massage, fascial stretch, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy, breathwork, and energy work, based on your specific requirements. Effective communication is always at the heart of our collaboration.

With a well-rounded, discerning, intuitive, and compassionate approach, I have experience in preventing unnecessary surgeries by addressing biomechanical issues, often achieving remarkable results in just one session. I also provide high-stress executives with the support and reflection they need to unwind and regain the mental clarity demanded by their lifestyles. Additionally, I offer guidance on somatic awareness to help individuals kickstart their own self-healing journeys, and I'm skilled at alleviating tension in tight lower backs and necks.

Two mottos I live by are: "When you're ready to heal, you'll discover the way," and "I'm here by your side throughout this process."

When I'm not assisting people in reclaiming movement in their bodies, you can find me engrossed in reading, exploring nature through hiking, or dancing in the comfort of my own living room.
