In the thick of a bustling kitchen, surrounded by the clang of pots and pans, I discovered more than a love for food—I found a purpose. 

Cooking wasn’t just about nourishment; it was a way to craft experiences that brought people together, sparking joy and connection. But beneath the surface of this intoxicating world, I felt the undercurrent of something deeper.

One night, gazing out over a dining room alive with chatter, glasses clinking, and meals shared, there was a moment of piercing clarity for me. 

I thought, these people aren’t just eating—they’re craving something more profound. Connection. Meaning. That’s when I realized my true calling wasn’t in the kitchen—it was in helping people find themselves.

Breaking Free to Build

The culinary world was relentless, a storm of sleepless nights, frayed nerves, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It nearly consumed me. But I walked away—not in defeat, but in defiance. I realized the cycle I was in wasn’t just unsustainable; it was misaligned with the life I was meant to lead.

I returned to my true self through mindfulness—a potent practice that unlocked awareness, agency, truth and hope. It was transformative, and I knew it would become the bedrock of my work with others. 

My breadth of experience across a number of  clinical and community settings led me to establish Tuning Fork Solutions, a practice that combines mindfulness, community, and resilience to help others find thier frequency.

Why Matt? Why Now?

I am not just a therapist or a coach— I’m someone who’s lived through the chaos, fought through the noise, and found a way out. I stood in the eye of the storm, in the kitchen and beyond, and emerged stronger, clearer, and more determined to help others do the same.

The world is louder and more chaotic than ever. Tuning Fork Solutions exists to cut through that noise, to guide you through life’s complexities with strategies and solutions that empower mindful, authentic living.

Beyond Business

Living on an 100 acre regenerative farm in Colorado, I draw parallels between the land’s regeneration and our need for regenerating our social soil. Through mindfulness, regenerative agriculture, and even Jiu-Jitsu—a practice I discovered to be a metaphor for life’s balancing act, I aim to teach others to find agency in their lives.

The Invitation

I invite you to embark on this journey. Life’s challenges demand resilience, clarity, and courage. In working with you, you’ll find more than strategies—you’ll find a partner who’s walked the path, a guide ready to help you face life head-on.

Because through is the way.
