Matti True is a Life Coach Practitioner and an Aspiring Speaker who is passionate about supporting his clients transform their lives through dismantling limiting patterns and beliefs, allowing then to stepping into their life purpose and true essence.

 Matti has walked an inspiring and courageous personal journey of turning his life completely around and has many motivating tales to tell from the journey, which he loves sharing to elevate others to realize that they too can create radical transformation in their lives.

 He is deeply inspired by helping those he works with understand that we are not our past and that by training ourselves to ask better questions, our entire life experience begins to shift in positive and sometimes even miraculous ways.

 Matti grew up in an upbringing that was challenging to say the least... Often emotionally/ verbally abused, threats of physical violence, physical violence and struggled with homelessness and addictions himself. He acted out his inner pain as a troubled teen and young man.

 One morning, at the age of 22, after a night of numbing his pain with substances and destructive behaviour, he had an awakening moment in which a voice inside of him said “There’s got to be more than this.” Matti has resolutely walked a steadfast and sometimes challenging path of being true to himself, through thick and thin, since that turning point.

 He completed a college diploma in ‘Community Services Worker’ with a focus on addictions and began working at a local homeless shelter, working with hundreds of people over the subsequent years and really honing his gifts of deep listening, empathy and intuition. Matti transitioned to working with Federal Parolees aiding in their reintegrating and continues to do so till this day.

 Some of the qualities that people who work with Matti find particularly supportive and inspiring are his big heart, warmth, kindness, charisma, his gift for connecting with people, and the non-judgmental space he creates for people to feel safe to deeply open up.

 Matti’s biggest source of inspiration and his greatest teachers are his late Grandfather (Norman) and his two children, aged 10 and 11. When making decisions, he continually asks himself: “Can this further my development as a father and as an inspiration for my kids as they are growing and developing?

 Committed to be a life-long learner, Matti has taken hundreds of hours of Life Coaching, Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) Personal Growth and Development training through a multitude of programs such as the Robbins-Madanes program and the Certified Coaches Federation. Matti has also been certified through the Certified Coaching Federation as a Certified Coach Practitioner. He is always researching and studying new modalities that support his clients in getting the most leveraged and empowering results. Matti has experience counselling hundreds of clients in harm reduction, cause and effect, dismantling self-doubt, and goal setting and has worked with Ottawa’s most vulnerable for years.  

Matti is steadfast on his journey...
