Personal Renewal
through Organic Wellness
At Matthew Sweigart's HeartMind Healing Arts we believe in the organic organizing power of Nature. We practice the art of healing through allowing space for natural connections to happen. We believe the body is a garden, not a machine. You are a living being, evolving with the flow of life. Become present to the Natural beauty within and around you! Renew your deep feeling connection to life, health, wellness and evolution.
The Power of Organic Wellness
Organic Wellness is connected to ancient, timeless. simple methods of natural connection. It's the natural flow and vibration of all things. It is oscillation, the movements of rise and fall, left and right, forward and back, and center.
In health, all movement revolves around a stable, central axis.In ill health, stability is lost, and is unsustainable. In wellness stability is regained, connection re-established, and life proceeds with grace and ease.
Connecting to natural flow is the art of "feeling better. "You need DO nothing. Simply BE who you are, naturally." This leads you to feeling fully alive!
HeartMind Shiatsu
It's "what is right with you," rather than "what is wrong with you!" The healing hands component of our practice connects us to the felt sense of living fully in our own skin!
Meridian Energetics are at the foundation.
Healing touch using compression, stretching and mobilization gently awakens the felt sense in the body without throwing the body into overwhelm.
Balancing the sense of opposites promotes harmony and integrity.
Rooted in Classical Chinese and Japanese philosophy, HeartMind Shiatsu is a powerful mind/body/spirit system to encourage optimal flow in your meridian channels. At HeartMind, we are not "prisoners of pathology." We "Look for the blue sky!" We find it, and celebrate your Personal Nature in balance with Great Nature!

HeartMind Shiatsu
Rest! Enjoy! Soften! There's nothing to do! Just BE! Hands on healing takes all the various ideas out of your head and into your body. Come into the present moment and connect to the beauty of the moment. Unwind deeply held mistaken views of what is true in this timeless, ancient practice of loving kindness. Easy, natural, compressions, stretching and mobilizations along your body/mind/spirit meridian lines activate your spirit for life.
HeartMind Meridian Qigong
Developing your own personal practice is key to the art of Qigong. It's a moving meditation that connects you to your own unique way of being in your body and your life. If you're worried about whether you're "doing it right," you're not really doing Qigong. Qigong is about simply opening to your own experience of life energy "on the move." We offer four guided classes per week, via zoom, to encourage you to practice in your home, right in the middle of your unfolding life!
HeartMind Life Coaching
HeartMind Coaching supports you in going from where you are now to where you want to be by utilizing a revolutionary understanding of growth and development through organic intelligence! Find clarity, authenticity and self-love by syncing up your psychology with your biology. This is the foundation for a life well-lived, on a path that unfolds naturally and intentionally. Hone your mission, develop an action plan, upgrade your skills and environment, and develop your deep personal awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What sets HeartMind Apart
The nature of the human being is that we are a complex system of systems. The Chinese Medical viewpoint of multiple Organ Networks interrelated to Nature through the Five Elements and awareness of the Yin and Yang of vibrations and changes, make the HeartMind approach distinct from a mere machine or mechanical view of the body.
Q:
Does HeartMind Healing help with body pain?
Yes, but not in the way you might think. HeartMind is NOT an analgesic. If you are seeking that, you probably would do well to go to the pharmacy and get an over the counter medication. Rather, all of our HeartMind services work on the principle of encouraging flow. Recognizing that "Pain is NO flow. FLOW is NO pain!" Shiatsu, Qigong and Life Coaching are all rooted in encouraging flow in body/mind and spirit. Check out our services today!
Q:
Is this a structural approach?
The body is not a machine. Though machine analogies have the advantage of working much of the time, the truth is more complex than that. Yes, we have a "structure," but in HeartMind we are accessing and acknowledging a multi-dimensional approach to understanding how the structure is organized or disorganized, throughout all the systems of the body, mind and spirit.
Q:
I understand that you remain clothed for this treatment, why is that?
Because we are working on the floor, and applying a variety of manipulations to the body with fluidity, this makes "draping a naked body," for the purposes of modesty, impossible! Also, because HeartMind is focused on the "Qi energy" flow of the body/mind, bare skin is not necessary, and may even be a distraction.
Get in touch with us
A free chat to find out more is just a phone (or zoom) call away.

You'll also be able to ask him how that HeartMind services and mission can help with your unique conditions. All that it costs is your time, a little bit of time to see if HeartMind can offer you what you need to get to the next level of clarity and actualization on your path!
