Elizabeth Felix – Celebrant – September 2022

As a result of the pandemic my business was devistated, I had to shut down my shop and completely change my career direction.

The career path I chose involves a lot of public speaking of which I had some experience and have previously enjoyed, but had no formal training. However closing my business and spending so much time alone during lockdown had a far greater effect than I had anticipated, and my confidence was at an all time low. I contacted Matthew to ask for his help.

As a result of his patience and encouragement, the exercises he gave me and the tips, hints, plus the much practice he made me do, I am now working and loving my new vocation. I often refer to the skills he taught me and practise the methods he showed me to aid my confidence, and this has enabled me to grow and improve my skill set.

Matt showed me ways to manage nerves, to protect and project my voice, to speak with passion, empathy and varied tone. He even looked at my breathing techniques. 

I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew, he is approachable, professional and drew me out of a confidence that was buried by life, and for me, worth every penny.
