Today I am delighted to introduce you to a new friend, Matt Gardiner. The work of becoming alcohol-free and staying alcohol-free looks different for everyone. For many, spiritual work plays a big part. Matt has a background and training in the healing modalities of story work, sound therapy and breathwork.

These are three components of his roadmap based on his own healing journey. In this episode Matt shares his work as a sound therapist and his practical tips for using our own stories to bring about healing and recovery.
