Biography for Matthew Lyle Stewart, CHt

Matthew Stewart is a Certified Hypnotherapist with over a decade of experience in the health and wellness field. His background includes fitness, somatic breathwork, bodywork, coaching, and meditation, giving him a holistic understanding of the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and behavior.

He is passionate about helping clients create meaningful change by working with the power of the subconscious mind. His approach is compassionate, grounded, and client-centered, offering a safe and supportive space for clients to explore the patterns, beliefs, and inner resources that shape their lives.

His path into hypnotherapy grew from his own journey of personal transformation. After losing 60 pounds, overcoming addictive patterns, and making major lifestyle changes through willpower and discipline, he realized that lasting change requires more than changing outward behavior. It also requires working with the subconscious mind, the nervous system, and the deeper emotional patterns beneath the surface.

He is especially interested in supporting people who look like they are holding it together on the outside, but privately feel exhausted, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Matthew understands how frustrating it can be to know what you “should” do, yet still feel pulled back into the same patterns. His work is focused on helping clients get beneath surface-level change and begin working with the subconscious patterns that influence their habits, emotions, self-image, and sense of safety within themselves.
