For over 20 years Matt has been drawn to holding a learning space for others. A married father of two, and friend to many, Matt’s interest in mental health has grown from a desire to heal his own wounds from childhood trauma and work-related burnout through both education and a passion for self-realisation. With a reputation as an energetic facilitator, Matt’s work as a paramedic, educator and wellbeing researcher over the last twenty years, in both the United Kingdom and Australia, provides him a wealth of real-world experience that he uses to bring subjects to life in the classroom. Students studying with Matt also benefit from his training in compassionate leadership and wellbeing with world-leading research organisations including The Kings Fund and SAHMRI.
