BODY • CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT • SELF-REGULATION

When the body
feels safe,
transformation
happens.

Entendendo
a Dor

When your body hurts, what is it trying to protect?

Perhaps pain brought you here. Or tension that never seems to leave. Or the feeling that your body reacts before you even understand what is happening.

My book invites you to begin exploring: to understand the experience of pain and listen to your body in a different way.

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS

Every body has a story.
Every process, its own pace.

My work brings together bodywork and somatic awareness. Each session begins by listening to the body, respecting each person’s circumstances, boundaries and history.

YOUR GUIDE

I’m Tatchi Matz.
My path began
with a search.

A search to understand pain. Over more than two decades, it grew into a practice of listening to the body, bringing together movement, hands-on approaches, emotions and lived experience.

I’m a Brazilian therapist living in Portugal and the creator of Heart Dance Therapy. I support people through individual sessions, group experiences and integrative processes, both in person and online.

I don’t work with fixed protocols. I listen to the body and let it guide the pace, respecting what each person is ready to experience.
