What Others Are Saying:

Matt Goodman is the real deal. As we prepared an in-person retreat for our mission-driven team, we recognized that everyone had been working hard and carrying a lot of emotional and psychological heaviness that can result from supporting others to counteract health inequities. We simply needed a space for each of us to decompress, reflect, and practice self-compassion. With his presence, grace and skill, Matt facilitated an engaging and moving session that enabled everyone to breathe, slow down, practice mindfulness, and care for ourselves. He helped set the tone for an incredible team retreat. We’re absolutely happy and honored to recommend Matt to others.

The team bonding that took place during the retreat was truly at an all-time high. Dr. Goodman’s careful planning and thoughtful approach created an environment that fostered collaboration, trust, and open communication among all of us. The activities and discussions were not only fun and engaging but also deeply meaningful and reflective. It was remarkable to witness how everyone’s contributions came together to make the day truly special. The retreat has undoubtedly strengthened our relationships and created a solid foundation for future collaboration.
