What’s possible with 5th Place

This client came to us with a particular idea of what he wanted to work through and in 3 sessions we managed to shift core beliefs around some major stuff he had been carrying for a long part of his life, in some instances more than 20 years.

It was astounding and deeply gratifying for us to witness the shift. When someone is engaged and committed to doing the work and we can facilitate this desire to make a shift, what happens is literally magic!

Read below to see what I mean.

Hi Matthew

This evening, I have been basking in the glow of what the last three sessions with you have given me, and I feel a sense of gratitude and resounding peace that is very hard to describe. I am deeply grateful that you have dedicated your life to helping people in this way, and am humbled by your willingness to bless and guide others so unselfishly. Thank you so much for your example, and for giving me someone whose commitment to goodness and kindness I can look up to.

Today for probably the first time in my life, I feel completely at peace with who I am, and my ability to navigate mortality in a happy and successful way, and so I am able to receive this great blessing happily and with peace. I am just repeating the same words, but don’t know how to explain this. It’s a feeling I have never had before. Once again, I’m deeply grateful for the inspired, intuitive and incredibly compassionate way in which you have helped me. You have a profound gift that you have nurtured through your commitment to truth and goodness, and you choose to use this to bless others, which is rare and special.

Thank you, and God bless.

Reducing the Certainty Deficit in high-performing people and teams · Emotional fitness coach for high-functioning men

Matthew works with athletes and performance teams to reduce the Certainty Deficit, the space between what you can do and what your body will let you do when it counts. The body holds beliefs. These run deeper than self-talk and they run faster than any conscious strategy. When those beliefs shift, the ceiling shifts.

He also supports high-functioning men to develop emotional fitness so they can live and lead from a place of clarity and inner stability. The work is somatic-first, practical and grounded.

If you're seeing a pattern current approaches haven't shifted, let's talk.
