The utterly unique experience of working with Matthew has permeated every part of my life. The changes for the better are profound, long lasting and beyond anything that I could have imagined.

April 2015

I had suffered from a phobia of flying for 15years of my adult life but in the middle of a recent 10 hour flight having done a four and a half hour flight the day before I was reminded of just what an impact that Matthew Meinck has had on my life. Because after 15 years my phobias had taken over my life until I started to work with Matthew to heal my traumas.

During that flight not only did I realise that I was enjoying the experience but I had also learnt to care for my health and every other aspect of my life in order to make that journey possible.

The utterly unique experience of working with Matthew has permeated every part of my life. The changes for the better are profound, long lasting and beyond anything that I could have imagined.

Thanks to Matthew Meinck : My digestion, skin texture, muscle tone and general fitness have all improved dramatically.... I felt at odds with my body for about forty years before I came to this understanding.

7/1/15

I know for most people obtaining good health is pretty obvious, eat well, rest, drink water, exercise, meditate they are all just ways of responding to the body’s needs but for the best part of my life I somehow managed to overlook these things and the profound impact that they can have. I had the desire to have optimum health but I just couldn’t follow through, I thought it was a matter of will and that I just had to try harder.

I had limited sensitivity to my subtle and not so subtle physical states but over time that changed.

The sensitivity I have now has been born out of having daily contact with myself (the body) in meditation. So really weather I like it or not I can feel exactly what is going on in the body and the response is often quite intuitive and automatic with very little thought involved.

My digestion, skin texture, muscle tone and general fitness have all improved dramatically.

I wanted to share this because I felt at odds with my body for about forty years before I came to this understanding. The understanding didn’t come from the place that I thought it would. I wasn’t meditating in order to understand my physical health in this way. In my ignorance I thought that meditation would just help me think clearly about my health and that would help me carry out a plan and that plan would probably be devised by another person (health practitioner).

If someone told me that meditating would improve my digestion I would just think oh yeh that would be nice and think that any result that might occur would be a subtle one. How wrong could I have been, my digestive system is me and I can’t not know what is going on with it.

It is a marvel to me every day that from the moment I get up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night I am intuitively responding to all that my body needs. It’s just what a living thing does when there is no interference.

It is no small gift that I have been given and one that no other person will ever know the full depth of what I am expressing because I am the only one that can feel it. Words just don’t cut it.

It would be nice to think though that for anyone who reads this and is in need of healing that the part of them that desires healing like I did will hear what I have expressed and it will spark a new interest in them to follow their own way to health.

It is not something that you can give to someone but the people who nurtured that spark in me are Kate and Matthew Meinck. Likewise it isn’t something I can give to them in return nor do they need it as they have their own intelligence but I do hope that it will shine a light on the nature and intent of the people that I call my friends.

Thanks to Matthew (Meinck) my time and my home is now my own

I live in a feeling of being nothing therefore having nothing to offer.
I did want to try to express the recent feeling deep in me of knowing I no longer make myself available to be used day and night.

'Being switched off and numb since my first abuse at 6 months, it took Matthew (Meinck) 10 years of constant hard work and support to allow me to finally start to thaw.
And I still need his continuing interaction to help me see when I'm trapped in my victims thinking.
I can't begin to describe to you the feeling of not being an unpaid whore in my own home anymore, where whenever I was at home and I never knew when and whom was going to turn up and demand what. The constant anxiety and pressure I lived under in my own home as well as the panic if I wanted to do something for myself or away from the house. The persistent feeling of always having to be prepared and ready was terrifying.
Thanks to Matthew (Meinck) my time and my home is now my own.
The feelings of anxiety and panic are still there as habit but with far less intensity and frequency.
The knowing and the relief deep within me that the action doesn't happen anymore is worth more than I can express.....'

There is nothing that I felt through that process that Matthew (Meinck) didn’t feel along with me

What is it like to live a life of fear? To feel you have to try to control everything and everyone in your life.

The emotional psychological physical and sexual abuse I suffered as a child led me try to (in a child’s way you try) to control my world. Trying not to step on cracks in the ground or holding my breath in between them was the first thing I recognised as the start of the control. My world was completely out of control my father's rage would flare up at any moment give whatever he believed at the time to be a just reason and as a child I thought I was the reason.

As an adult I lived my life still holding my breath and it wasn't until this week I have realised to what extent that was happening. 

I have only been able to realise this because it is finally breaking down.

To be able to live my life free of this is something I don’t feel words could ever do justice to.

And when I say free I mean in every sense of the word. A freedom from fear a freedom from self-disgust a freedom from feeling as survivors of sexual abuse do that I had to pay a price a penance because after all it was all my fault right. 

In this harsh and violent world I found a way to heal, someone to guide me someone brave enough to take that ride with me. There is nothing that I felt through that process that Matthew (Meinck) didn’t feel along with me he laid his health on the line simply because he could see the need I had and that he could heal that need. The things I have read in the media contrary to this disgust me and the only thing that really concerns me in life now is that the utterly unique way that Matthew (Meinck) has of encouraging healing in a person will continue to be miss represented and will be lost to the people who need it most. 

He has nurtured my health and now I am in position to nurture his and that is what I intend to do.

With diligence and consideration for others, he (Matthew Meinck) persevered with helping others when they asked

30 December 2011

"I first met Matthew Meinck when I was 19. I noticed when I met him how much he questioned what was not ethical. With diligence and consideration for others, he persevered with helping others when they asked. He maintained his individuality, integrity and code of conduct. I met him again as his friend and client when I was 38.

I am now 45. Today he is still the same as I have described him here as written both above and below in this letter of recommendation for him. Matthew is an admirable, thorough, hard working professional Health Practitioner and a good friend. I have seen a variety of many practitioners internationally and some of the best in the different fields of Health Care and Medicine. I used his professional service after struggling to fit into society. Since then and with the greatest results, I enabled myself through his facilitating to take control of myself. I continue today to encompass that into community living, work and service. This all came about after discovering on my own through Matthew’s health care, that my physical and emotional aches and pains was from numerous years of shock, suffering, and trauma. I consider myself now very fortunate to be in optimum health and healed from that. I am grateful for his services of massage, meditation retreats and counselling. This is how I can offer the best to myself and those around me, within the communities that I live and work in.

I express appreciation and feel fortunate for the unique services Matthew offers. His services have given me results that others from a variety of modules and apparently experienced and accredited Practicing Health Care Professionals were not able to deliver. Matthew’s Health Practice works with the whole person in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. I have no complaints what so ever as his client and as a friend.

I offer every support towards Matthew and his life’s work in the community, and the wonderful professional service he offers. He is a professional Health Care Practitioner that knows what he is doing. I highly recommend Matthew Meinck as a very much needed true Health Care Professional."
