Ξαναγνώρισε το σώμα σου.

I found Mata after several years of talk therapy, when I became curious about what else might be stored in my body that I couldn’t reach through talking and understanding alone. My therapist recommended Shiatsu – and more than a year later, I still see Mata every month.

From the very first session, I felt incredibly comfortable and safe with her. Mata has such a warm and genuine presence, and I love that her sessions are never just about the body. We talk about what’s going on in my life, how I’m feeling and what my body is telling me. She really sees the whole person.

And then there are her “Mata Magic Hands”. :) It’s hard to explain, but somehow she always seems to find exactly what needs attention. Especially during my first year, I would often walk out of her sessions feeling like I was on a cloud – so soft, light and almost floating. I’ve walked in feeling completely out of balance or in physical pain and left feeling much more connected to myself.

Over time, Shiatsu with Mata has helped me listen to my body more closely, notice its signals earlier and understand better what it needs.

Seeing her has become such a valuable part of taking care of myself. It’s the conversation, the bodywork, the warmth, the genuine hugs and, most of all, the feeling of being seen as a person.

I’m incredibly grateful that I found her. 🩷

For over 15 years I have been coming to Mata’s body sessions, and yes, she is simply the best. She has my complete trust: she is wise, intelligent, funny and an excellent body therapist. I remember our early sessions, when she spoke to me about spiritual approaches, and I was impressed by how she presented them as an offer, as an invitation and never as dogma. She has an exceptional understanding of people. Her sessions are grounding, relaxing and very, very soothing. Simply the best! : )

As a professional dancer for the past 25 years, it can be a challenge to find the right bodyworkers who understand what it means to work with the body as an instrument on a daily basis. Mata has an understanding of movement on a deep level and brings her experience of many years to each session. I always feel very well taken care of and secure in her gentle yet supportive presence. Which reminds me, I need to make another appointment soon!

By listening to my words and observing my body language, Mata can identify areas where tension and friction have taken root. Using her knowledge and attentive approach, she releases what your body has been holding onto, providing a lasting sense of relief.

For me, her work has become an anchor in my life — a time to pause, reconnect, and nourish my body and soul. I leave every session feeling lighter, happier and with a spring in my step.
