Words From Our Clients...

“Matteah offers a presence of peace and an invitation to evolve. She helped our staff see value in one another and the work we do together. I’ve learned the power of truly being myself and bringing my best self to work.”

“Working with the Proponents team was one of the most rewarding and challenging processes our organization has ever faced. From the beginning, it was evident that the team’s values of equity and empowerment were a perfect alignment with the values of our project. We are grateful for the ways they have challenged, encouraged, and supported our development.”

“The work Matteah did with our team to slow down was new, kind of uncomfortable and extremely valuable!”

“Working with Proponents has been transformative for our organization! From the very beginning, it was clear that we shared deeply aligned values around equity, justice, and actively challenging white supremacy in our work. They didn’t just support or guide us—they worked alongside us and pushed us to grow in ways we hadn’t even imagined. They brought expertise and critical insight to every step of the process. And their relational approach helped us see long-standing challenges in new ways. We’re grateful for their partnership and reciprocity!”

“Partnering with Matteah created a pathway into living in harmony with my purpose. Every interaction with Matteah provided a safe space where I left gaining insight on how my perspective of life matters, and provides reading material that proves the many ways of interacting with the world within communities”

“During somatic coaching with Matteah, I discovered several areas of myself I either never paid close attention to or ignored altogether. If one reflects closely on their experience, one will find areas for growth and improvement.”

“Matteah is wise, kind, gentle and confidently curious. She has a presence that can make it feel like your meeting or conversation with her is the only thing on her agenda. I leave every encounter with her a more centered version of myself as a result of the way she asks questions and invites reflection.”

“Matteah asks the right questions, distills things to the essentials, and gave us the safe space to work through the hard things we are doing together. We had the ability to say things because of how she began our relationship and how she carried herself all along. Thank you for being a gift to us.”

“Facilitating a staff retreat, Matteah helped our organization by using different techniques on tapping into organization work styles and how to work together. It showed us how coworkers need to be sync to work together. And how everyone has their own work style and energy that they bring in to office daily.”

“Wow. Thank you, Matteah, for being my guide to new levels of awareness. Our time together was fun, transformative, emotional. Fascinating to learn so much about myself from how my body moves.”
Ben Oliver

“I can’t think of anyone who would have been a better fit to guide us during this time. We’re so excited to forge ahead better and more thoughtfully equipped. We appreciated Matteah’s ability to listen deeply, consider, and formulate a response. Her flexibility and sense of humor made our work together enjoyable and helped turn us into learning and evaluation geeks.”

Kristin Brace

“As a group experience, the somatic coaching exercise Matteah introduced to us helped each of us learn a beautiful series of movements. We got a chance to work in teams. And learned some things about each other (some people were more competitive than we thought!). I would recommend this to others looking to connect as a group, and reflect as an individual.”
