June 2024I’m Matthew Kessi, a passionate spiritual coach who harnesses the transformative power of nature to help you achieve deeper self-awareness, authentic leadership, and lasting inner peace.
As a travel writer, nature photographer, and practical mystic, I help individuals connect with enriching nature experiences. Originally from Oregon, I now call Seattle home and am deeply connected to the Pacific Northwest.
For years, I have dedicated my life to guiding others into the Natural World, facilitating immersive nature retreats, leading forest bathing therapy sessions, and teaching mindfulness practices. Additionally, I bring 25 years of experience as an airline leader, where I nurtured new talent and empowered colleagues to unlock their potential.
My Spiritual Coaching process combines my lifelong mystic gifts with proven nature connection techniques, allowing individuals to explore their deepest selves. This holistic approach will enable you to tap into your fullest potential.
Amid life’s hustle, a powerful call for transformation awaits. Together, we will uncover the wild nature within you and explore the profound possibilities that lie ahead.
Matthew Kessi is gentle, kind, and compassionate. His virtues extend to what he draws from Nature. If you seek a deeper experience than sightseeing, Matthew is your guide. He’ll lead you to places on the land and within yourself that are truly remarkable.

Nature-based wisdom
Personalized spiritual guidance
Curiosity-driven coaching
Here’s What Clients Say After Working With Matthew.
My nature immersion was transformative, providing essential restoration and tools for balance in my life. Matthew’s calming leadership and powerful spiritual gifts fostered connections and a newfound appreciation for “nature’s pace.” The key lesson I learned was to focus on one thing at a time, a principle I now embrace daily.
Curiosity about the Inner and Outer Worlds
SteveAs I began my sessions, I felt overwhelmed by obligations. Each step helped me shed those burdens and discover the essence of “talking to trees.” Thanks to Matthew’s coaching, I now ground myself in nature when stressed.
Making Sense of Being Pulled in All Directions

Nature’s Healing Has Something for Everyone
BrianThe Approach: What does Spiritual Coaching look like?
Shortly after you register for the first time, we’ll have an intake call to customize the best program to meet your needs–including logistics like planning meeting dates. The initial six 90-minute sessions are virtual on Zoom and based on the fundamentals around “Six Questions to Ask Yourself for a Deeper Nature Connection.” This approach offers a simple and proven structure that can be adapted to best meet your needs.
Here’s what our 90-minute Spiritual Coaching sessions entail:
- First, we begin with a simple Nature Connection practice where I help you prepare for our session. Imagine a virtual slow walk in the forest, as if to fully exhale all the details of daily life so you can be more present to your inner self.
- Then, we’ll work with the general themes for each session, like “How can you say yes to your own wild Nature?” for Session #1. (This is always customized to your needs)
- You’ll have plenty of opportunities to engage curiosity and get feedback. Perhaps you’ll feel inspired to unlock pieces of inner wisdom.
- You’ll depart with seeds planted that you can cultivate until we meet again.
Key Benefits: Forever impacted by self awareness of your own nature.
Imagine finding peace amidst chaos, approaching challenges with a clear mind, and leading with purpose and authenticity. Spiritual Coaching unlocks these potentials and empowers you with:
- Step-by-step guidance to integrate mindfulness into daily routines.
- New paths and questions to drive personal growth.
- Personalized shadow work tools for deeper self-discovery.

Not finding your answers here? Please use this button below to contact me:
I’m not sure. Can we meet first?
Absolutely! Click the link to send me an email and we can set up a way to chat about Spiritual Coaching in person.
Is spiritual coaching right for me if I’ve never done anything like this before?
Since everyone is part of Nature, everyone benefits from examining their own wild Nature. Consider it a homecoming of sorts — the Natural World is eagerly awaiting your arrival.
How much time do I need to invest each week?
Spiritual Coaching is meant to help you in every aspect of daily life. So, you can be with me and Nature’s Intelligence around the clock. Sounds pretty great, right? But in terms of time to invest it’s really up to you, since the more you work to integrate nature, and your own wild nature, into real-life scenarios, the closer you’ll be to your aspirations.
Do I need any prior experience with meditation or nature immersion?
Nope! Just like Guided Forest Bathing experiences, I work with lots of beginners who are curious and want to learn more. Just come with an open mind, and the rest will flow naturally.
Why do I have to buy six sessions at a time?
Exploring your inner self takes practice and time, and can feel disruptive at first. The six-session structure over three months is important to honor a slow, focused approach to nature immersion, introspection, and transformation. After all, this is the path to lasting changes in your life.
Plus, you’ll love it!
Is there an agenda with the term “Spiritual”?
No agenda! Just like there is no right or wrong way to engage Nature, people of all belief systems, or no belief systems, are encouraged to participate.
The natural tendency toward introspection is articulated through the lens of various traditions. Many of which call this work of the soul or spirit. Regardless of the name, this coaching program focuses on working with elements of the Natural World to empower a sense of belonging, resilience, and purpose that humans have craved since immemorial.
Since this is a framework designed with you in mind, we can consider life coaching, guided mindfulness, or intuitive mentorship suitable labels. The key to consider is the outcome, which is harnessing self-clarity for healing, wellness, and empowerment to find your way.
If I’m in the Seattle area can I work with you in person?
Yes indeed! We can meet at Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle.
Can I continue working with you after the six initial sessions?
Yes of course! You’re going to want more.
Register again using the links on this website for six more sessions and we will continue to expand our work together. The focus will remain on customizing a program that keeps the momentum forward.
What if I don’t care about the Natural World?
Well, you might be missing out! However, this work is focused on the Nature within you. I hope you care about that!
What if I can’t make a meeting?
Please contact me within a reasonable amount of time before our session to reschedule. Remember that part about self-awareness?
Can I get a refund if I don’t like it?
Exploring your inner self takes practice and time, and can feel disruptive at first. The six-session structure over three months is important to honor a slow, focused approach to healing, wellness, and awakening. This is the path to lasting changes in your life. Therefore, once we’ve commenced refunds aren’t offered.
(If, after the initial intake call and before our first session, this doesn’t feel right, you may cancel and get a refund.)
Can I give six sessions as a gift.
Yes! And, I love referrals. Just register for a six-pack and make a note in the purchase path. We’ll sort it out soon after.
What about couples or group coaching?
At this time, this Spiritual Coaching curriculum is best for one-on-one training. However, if you’re curious about group options (retreats, training, workshops) please contact me.

This recent video, “How can the rhododendrons of Seattle’s Arboretum help us get to the HEART of the matter?” resembles our Spiritual Coaching sessions together.
Curious about my style and vibe in person? I invite you to walk with me down a spirited path in the depths of the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle. Here, we’ll open up to the ways Nature can help us see our inner self more clearly. In particular, love flows around us, within us, and from us.
Subscribe to my YouTube series of Guided Nature Connection videos. They are a mystic hybrid of meditation, contemplation, and enchantment—always in beautiful locations. The 20-minute dose is enough to maintain a strong connection with the Natural World when you cannot get outdoors daily (especially in this dark and damp season). My work is to help the world connect with the healing power of Nature’s Intelligence—no matter the place or time. This concept is entirely new to some, and for others, the magic is a daily joy. Either way, these Nature Connection videos provide an opportunity to practice.
