Online free mental health class for October!
In celebration of World Mental Health Day in October we are offering an online free mental health class (Emotional Fitness Class) to everyone for the entire month.
Managing emotions and becoming more emotionally fit is vital to building mental health.
Emotional fitness sits at the foundation of physical, psychological, and relational wellbeing. Stuck, unpleasant, difficult, negative emotions stand in the way of being able to thrive. They distract focus, cloud thinking and fuddle decision making. They fill up one’s valuable time with unresourceful behaviours.
Very few of us have been taught about emotions or how to appropriately express, manage and, most importantly, regulate our emotions. You may sometimes feel that you are at the mercy of your emotions. It is possible however, to learn to master your emotions. Not control them, not bury, avoid or numb them, but master them for lasting vibrant physical and mental health.
One way of doing this is to attend a free online Emotional Fitness Class.
Curious? Have questions? Want to collaborate and offer this in your organisation? Please get in touch with us or email us - [email protected] 🕊️🙏
Our emotions are not a luxury but an essential aspect of our makeup. We have them not just for the pleasure of feeling but because they have crucial survival value.

Reducing the Certainty Deficit in high-performing people and teams · Emotional fitness coach
Matthew works with athletes, performance teams, and anyone who wants to reduce the Certainty Deficit in their situation or context.
The Certainty Deficit is the space between what you can do and what your body will let you do when it counts. It is context-specific and situational. A person or athlete can have zero deficit in one situation and a significant one in another.
The body holds beliefs that keep the Certainty Deficit in place. These beliefs run deeper than self-talk and faster than any conscious strategy. When they shift, the ceiling shifts, and new possibilities arise.
Matthew is also an emotional fitness coach who supports individuals to live and lead from a place of inner clarity and stability. The work is somatic-first, practical, and grounded.
If you're seeing a pattern that current approaches haven't shifted, let's talk.
