We are so lucky to have a master of dance and movement (Matthew Nelson) at our finger tips here in Boise. I have participated in several of Matthew's offering, but of particular interest was my experience in a session of his 'somatic ideation.' He provided a safe place for me to ask my burning questions and listen to the answers my body provided. He allowed me the freedom to move and talk out my experience while he journaled what was arising for me. It was so helpful to be able to spend the time attuning to my inner knowledge. Tapped into some very important and clear insights. He held a nonjudgemental space and was very attentive throughout. I am forever grateful for the work.

Matthew is a joy to work with. He has a very skilled eye for seeing where your body could move more freely, and an excellent guiding touch and clearly communicates what movements he is asking you to try.
I have years of movement experience and have worked with lots of types of practitioners to feel more comfortable and strong in my body, and Matthew is one of my favorites. Highly recommended.

Matthew's services were recommended to me by a physical therapist after I was struggling to get my core strength back after 2 pregnancies (one C-Section birth). Over the course of a few months we worked on preparing my hyper-mobile self to begin again. Working with Matthew was essential to build a new core strength foundation where I could begin other activities and exercise without injuring myself. I was really impressed with Matthew's knowledge and found him to be so attuned to the needs of the physical self. Thanks!

My desk job has been destroying my body. I came to Matthew Nelson in so much pain. I couldn't sit. I couldn't really lay down or sleep comfortably. Matthew's gentle body work did wonders for me. He doesn't have the car mechanic view of the body that most massage therapists or moderately trained professionals have. It's a full-body approach using knowledge he has gleaned from years as a dance professor, bodywork consultant, teacher, therapist and movement guru. I had been trying to solve my problems on my own by pressing into my points of pain. Matthew showed me that it was more systemic. He could trace the pain in my hips to other parts of -- my side, my leg, my back, my neck. And then, using gentle maneuvers, he worked through them with me. Such joy! The relief was almost immediate, though I see now that I'll have to do more to address the wear on my body from this kind of work. I'm inspired, and thankful!

As someone who partakes in resistance training and has more mass than I'm naturally supposed to I had many limitations when it came to my mobility. Working with Matthew has completely unlocked my shoulders, and given more mobility, flexibility, and range of motion then I ever could have imagined. If that was all I got from working with Matthew I would have been super pleased with just that, BUT learning how to 'yield', surrender, and trust that I am supported by the 'earth' at all times has truly been a life changing learning, that I will continue to carry with me for years to come. I am super grateful for Matthew's amazing blended styles of modalities and look forward to working with him more in the future!
