Meet the Creator of Umatter

Umatter Team

I am a Non-Denominational Ordained Minister, I’ve had a keen interest in self-help and spirituality for the last 20 years of my life. I spent eight years working with a doctor holding study groups, meditation groups and facilitating workshops which he and I developed. During and after my time with Dr. Johnson I found the Ishaya Monks, in total I spent eight years traveling around with them. I eventually took vows and became an Ishaya for a year. During my time with the Ishayas, I would go on meditation retreats for up to two months at a time. After I left the Ishayas, I attended Western University to study Psychology and English for a period of two years. I have training in a few different healing modalities. Other courses I have taken include Palliative Care, Toast Masters (to learn how to become a professional speaker). I have a native spirituality course and was fire keeper for a sweat lodge. Over the years I have facilitated workshops and talks in schools, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Rogers Daytime TV and been a guest and a host on CHRW radio at Western University. Currently, I am a self-employed artist and I have been in business for the last 25 years. I have volunteered as a Big Brother (eight years), Palliative Care Support Worker (one year) and worked with special needs children and adults (three years). Workshops I have taught over the years include, Become a Gentle-Man, Meditation and Journey to the Hearts Riches.

Being raised in a small town has taught me the value of seeing each person as an individual. Growing up in a time before hand held electronics, cell phones and computers gave me the perfect environment to absorb life at my own pace. My passion has always been to serve from the heart. I believe in strong morals and the importance of community; this has led me to where I am able to support others today in their journey. My own path has been one of considerable strength, pain and personal triumph. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I have been on both sides of the medical system, as a long-term patient with chronic illness and as a health care worker. I have overcome several traumas, this helps others relate to me. Overcoming my life long addiction by removing fear has given me the courage and wisdom I now share with the world. Living life as an observer, has taught me kindness, patience and most of all compassion in abundance to share with those who cross my path. It is my hope that anyone who crosses Umatter’s path, will find the connection they are seeking, with themselves and with us, your support community.
