Practitioner Spotlight: Amber Baron

We have asked Amber Baron, MAT Practitioner from Minnesota, to join us in the spotlight this month! Get to know Amber and learn from her success utilizing this unique skill set.

 

How long have you been a practitioner and where do you practice?

"I became certified in the fall of 2008 as a Specialist. Continued taking all of the Mastery courses (more than once) and just tested out for Masters Cervical last year. I have my own practice in Minnesota."

Who is your most memorable MAT client and what was their outcome?

"Oh my gosh, there are SO many!

One, in particular, was a client who had chronic neck issues for over 20 years. I began working with her for shoulder issues and body in general. As we moved along sessions, we started working into cervical (which was not my strong point as I was still a newer Specialist at the time).

I still remember I had her sit up to see how she felt...she turned her head and looked over her shoulder. I was waiting for a reply and she just sat there and started crying.

I became scared and asked if it was painful and she just said "No, I haven't been able to look over my shoulder like that in over 20 years! I can't believe I can move it like that. I'm so thankful!"

That was a moment... MAT is the game-changer."

What are your goals for this year as a Practitioner of MAT?

"To continue to increase my knowledge and fine-tune my skills and to test out for other modules at the Mastery level."

How do your clients describe MAT?

"'Magical!' They often talk about how it makes sense when we discuss what's going on, that they love how they feel, and what it does for them in their day-to-day lives."

What do you want our readers to know?

"MAT can be a game-changer on many levels for anyone. Whether you are looking to 'fix' something or just stay active, combine it with other modalities, or on its own...MAT works!

I love the quote "People have no idea how good their bodies are designed to feel!" - we are changing that one session at a time!

I love the impact MAT can make on peoples' bodies, health, mentality, and lives. I've had conversations with others before about 'liking' your job...and I am so very grateful to have found MAT because I LOVE what I do!"
