It started out really simple. My daughter and a thought... nothing major, no big deal, just her saying, “Mama, you need some new pictures of yourself."

I thought to myself, a brand photoshoot would actually be a great idea. Until then, let's go play with the camera and have a little fun. She loves to learn some tricks of the trade, anyway.

This wasn't about being "perfect". This is about being present. About being seen by the people who matter most. About letting myself be captured in the middle of becoming. Honestly, I never stop evolving and I have yet again, stepping into new magic where my creativity and genuine love have come to rise.

We didn’t style anything fancy. I wasn’t barefoot in a meadow with flowing fabric and curated props. I was just me... standing in the sunshine while my daughter looked at me through her lens. Honestly, it felt kind of sacred. Like she was witnessing something I often forget to honor in myself.

This moment reminded me why I do what I do. Why I created my studio. Why I teach, mentor, create, and share the magic of art and movement and story.

It’s not about the right pose, or perfect timing. It’s about offering women a space to rediscover themselves (as mothers, artists, mystics, visionaries, rebels). To feel what it means to be whole again. To be seen, even when we feel messy or uncertain.

Especially then.

That’s what my space is...
The Matti Bright Studio | ​The Art of Becoming: A Living Gallery

It’s not your typical studio. It’s not a coaching program or a dance class or a gallery; it’s all of those, and none of them at the same time. It’s a space for soul-led transformation. For self-expression. For healing. For celebration. For remembering the power, you were born with.

And maybe this wasn’t a professional photo shoot.

But it was a moment of truth.

And sometimes that’s all it takes to bring you back into alignment... to remember that the light you’ve been chasing is already yours.

I didn’t realize how much I needed to see myself from a new perspective.

And maybe, just maybe… you need that too.

The Matti Bright Studio is not just your average art studio, it’s a studio of the arts. It's a sacred space where creativity, self-healing, and empowerment come together to inspire transformation. Designed specifically for Renaissance moms, those women who embrace the fullness of who they are; this space is a reflection of my journey and the heart of my brand, Matti Bright Concepts.

But what does it mean to be a Renaissance mom? Well, let me take you on that journey. A Renaissance mom is someone who embraces every aspect of her being. She is a multi-passionate individual who is able to balance motherhood with a variety of personal interests, creative pursuits, and professional endeavors. This woman is not only committed to her role as a mother but also actively pursues other passions in areas such as art, business, health, personal and spiritual development, and other interests. A renaissance mom often seeks to fulfill multiple roles and passions simultaneously, striving for personal growth while nurturing her family.

As a Boho Renaissance Mom (focused on my free-spirited, creativity and holistic side), I’ve created this studio to reflect everything I stand for in my personal brand. It is a place where my many passions come together; Reiki Master, choreographer, artist, photographer, intuitive, coach, and former chef, all to nurture your own journey. The studio is more than just a creative space; it’s a sanctuary designed to support you in stepping into your fullest self, unlocking your creative potential, and embracing your soul-led purpose.

The Heart of Matti Bright Concepts

At its core, the Matti Bright Studio is the heart of my brand. It’s where everything I teach, create, and believe in comes to life to help guide you on your journey of growth, healing, and legacy-building. This space brings together the arts and healing practices I love, offering a holistic approach to wellness, self-expression, and transformation.

Here, you can explore your full spectrum of passions and creative gifts. Whether you’re a mom, a daughter, or someone simply seeking connection with your authentic self, the Matti Bright Studio provides the perfect environment to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. And as we continue to expand in 2025, I am excited to welcome new experiences that will deepen this journey for you.

The Arts at the Matti Bright Studio

Art is more than just an activity at the Matti Bright Studio, it’s a way of life. Every aspect of creativity, healing, and empowerment comes together in this space, and I’m excited to share with you the different ways we explore these interconnected arts.

🎨 Visual Arts: Art is a powerful tool for self-expression, and at the Matti Bright Studio, it’s where you can begin to connect with your emotions, your soul’s purpose, and your deepest dreams. We offer various art classes and workshops, and whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, the goal is always to connect with your inner creative spirit and express your authentic self. You can expect a focus on self-expression and discovering how to see your inner world right in front of you. 

✨ Healing Arts: Incorporating my experience as a Reiki Master and EFT Practitioner, this area of the studio is dedicated to helping you find balance, alignment, and well-being. Through Reiki, tapping, breathwork, and meditation, I guide you to reconnect with your inner peace and restore harmony within your body, mind, and spirit. The focus here is on nurturing your energy and supporting your emotional and spiritual well-being.

🍽️ Culinary Arts: As a former chef, I understand how food can be a powerful form of nourishment and creative expression. At the Matti Bright Studio, I teach you how to approach food with mindfulness and creativity. Food isn’t just fuel; it’s a way to nourish your soul. Together, we’ll explore how to make every meal a holistic, purposeful act that supports your wellness and joy.

🔮 Intuitive Arts: Through spiritual coaching, clairvoyance, and intuitive guidance, I help you uncover your soul’s purpose and align with your highest potential (your Ikigai). In this space, you’ll gain clarity and direction, while learning to trust your intuition to navigate life’s twists and turns. These sessions offer deep spiritual insights and guidance, helping you tap into your inner wisdom and embrace your authentic self.

💃 Expressive Arts: Movement is an incredible tool for self-discovery. Through soul-led dance and storytelling, the Expressive Arts at the Matti Bright Studio help you explore your emotions, release tension, and connect with your body in a creative, authentic way. This is where we move through what no longer serves us and make room for new energy, transformation, and self-awareness. MATTI MVMNT coming soon!!

🤝 Community Arts: Focusing on connection, collaboration, and legacy-building, particularly for moms and daughters. Together, we’ll create projects that explore the bond between generations, build empowerment, and amplify your voices as a family unit. This is a space to share, grow, and create together, strengthening the foundation for your shared legacy that will ripple through generations to come. I hope to inspire local community arts as well!

This year, we will be expanding the offerings to create more immersive and interactive experiences that connect you with your creative spirit and help you build the legacy you’re meant to create.

The Vision for 2025

Looking ahead, I’m beyond excited about what’s to come for the Matti Bright Studio in 2025. My vision includes art exhibitions featuring local artists, classes taught by me and guest instructors, portrait sessions, retreat days, mom circles, mom and daughter experiences, and so much more. This studio is an ever-evolving space that will continue to offer new opportunities for growth, healing, and creative exploration.

Each photography experience is personalized to reflect your inner light and your unique journey. You’ll walk away not only with beautiful, timeless portraits but with a deeper connection to your own soul’s truth. These sessions are a true celebration of who you are, inside and out.

You’ve probably noticed a lot of buzz around auras and energy lately. These words have woven their way into everyday conversations, sparking curiosity about what they truly mean and why they matter. If you’ve ever wondered how your aura impacts your life—or how to care for it—this guide is for you.

What Is an Aura?
Think of your aura as a radiant energy field that surrounds your physical body, like an invisible shield. Every living being has one, and just as your skin protects you physically, your aura serves as a protective layer on an energetic level.

Your aura’s colors and thickness can shift depending on your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. More than just a pretty glow, your aura plays a vital role in your energy exchange with the world around you—people, places, even animals. Neglect it, and you might find yourself feeling drained, unbalanced, or vulnerable to negativity.

How to Care for Your Aura
Just like tending to your physical health, nurturing your aura involves creating mindful habits that keep you aligned and empowered. Here are some ways to safeguard and strengthen your energetic field:

1. Set Boundaries That Honor Your Energy
Protecting your energy starts with clear boundaries. It’s okay to choose who and what you let into your space. Whether it’s saying no to environments that drain you, taking your time before responding to texts, or simply stepping away from relationships that feel heavy, honoring your needs isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

*** Healthy boundaries allow you to preserve your energy while keeping negative forces at bay.

2. Let Crystals Be Your Allies
Crystals are nature’s gift for cleansing and protecting your aura. Black tourmaline, for example, is a powerful tool for shielding your energy. Carry it in your pocket, wear it as jewelry, or place it in spaces you frequent. The proximity of these protective stones works wonders in keeping your energy field clear and strong.

3. Recharge Your Soul
Just as your phone needs recharging, so does your energetic body. If you’ve been around too many people for too long, it’s natural to feel depleted. This happens because every interaction involves an exchange of energy, even if it’s subtle.

To recharge, carve out intentional time for yourself. Take a calming bath, reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy the cozy embrace of your favorite blanket. Your aura will thank you.

4. Meditate for a Clean and Empowered Aura
Meditation is like a deep cleanse for your energy field. Sitting in stillness allows divine energy to flow through you, sweeping away negativity and amplifying your aura’s strength. Beyond cleansing, meditation invites peace, clarity, and an inner glow that radiates outward.

Why Your Aura Matters
Caring for your aura isn’t just about self-protection; it’s about creating a space where you can thrive, connect deeply, and share your magic with the world. When your energy is aligned, you’re not just surviving... you’re shining.

As mystic mamas and soulful beings, nurturing our aura is a powerful step toward living in harmony with ourselves and the universe. Protect your energy, and watch your light grow brighter. ✨

As multi-passionate mamas, we know that the energy we carry affects everything—from our moods and thoughts to how we connect with our loved ones. Our well-being, creativity, and the way we show up in the world all hinge on the flow of our energy. When we nurture that flow, we not only uplift ourselves but also create a positive ripple effect for our families. Here are 17 heartfelt ways to raise your vibrations and nurture your radiant, authentic self.

1. Nourish Your Body with Wholesome Foods
   What we put into our bodies directly affects our energy and spirit. By choosing a diet rich in nourishing, whole foods, we support not just our physical health, but our emotional and spiritual well-being too. A balanced, clean diet helps us feel more vibrant, clear-headed, and connected to our inner selves.
   
2. Support Yourself with Essential Nutrients
   Sometimes, our bodies need a little extra help. Incorporating a quality multivitamin can give us the boost we need to stay energized, focused, and resilient—helping us navigate the demands of motherhood and beyond with grace.
   
3. Refresh with Gentle Fasting
   Taking a day to gently cleanse your system can do wonders for your energy levels. Whether through a simple one-day fast or a mono-diet of fruits like apples or watermelon, this practice helps reset your body and mind, leaving you feeling lighter and more attuned to your inner rhythms.
   
4. Embrace Nature’s Healing Remedies
   Herbs and flower essences offer gentle, natural ways to lift our spirits and calm our minds. Whether you need a moment of peace or a bit of revitalization, these gifts from nature can help you find balance and stay connected to your inner strength.
   
5. Move with Joy and Purpose
   Our bodies are meant to move, and finding ways to incorporate joyful movement into your day can uplift your mood and energize your spirit. Whether it’s dancing in the kitchen, a morning stretch, or a walk in the fresh air, moving your body with love keeps your energy flowing and your mind clear.
   
6. Breathe Life into Every Moment
   Our breath is a powerful tool for connecting with ourselves and the world around us. Simple breathing exercises can help you stay grounded, reduce stress, and maintain a steady, harmonious energy throughout the day.
   
7. Find Peace in Deep Relaxation
   Taking time each day to relax deeply is like giving yourself a much-needed hug. Whether through meditation, a quiet moment with a cup of tea, or a guided relaxation, this practice soothes your nervous system, rejuvenates your spirit, and helps you approach life with a calm, centered mind.
   
8. Express Your Creative Spirit
   Creativity is at the heart of who we are as multi-passionate women. Whether through art, writing, music, or simply finding new ways to solve everyday challenges, expressing your creative side is essential for your happiness and well-being.
   
9. Engage in Meaningful Activities
   Doing what matters most to you fills your heart with purpose. Whether it’s pursuing a passion, volunteering, or simply spending quality time with loved ones, meaningful activities lift your spirits and keep your energy high.
   
10. Embrace the Power of Touch
    A gentle massage or even a warm hug can work wonders for your well-being. Touch is a powerful healer, helping to release tension, soothe your soul, and nurture the connections that matter most.
    
11. Cleanse with Water’s Healing Energy
    Water is incredibly healing and renewing. Taking an extra bath or shower, or even spending time by a body of water, can help wash away stress and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
    
12. Release Emotions with Compassion
    It’s important to find safe, compassionate ways to express and release your emotions. Whether through journaling, talking it out with a friend, or simply allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel, releasing emotions helps free up your energy and brings you back to a place of peace.
    
13. Cultivate Harmonious Relationships
    The people we surround ourselves with have a profound impact on our energy. By nurturing loving, supportive relationships and resolving conflicts with compassion, you create a positive environment that uplifts everyone involved.
    
14. Stay Connected to Your Spiritual Path
    Whatever your spiritual practice looks like, staying connected to something greater than yourself brings deep peace and fulfillment. Whether it’s through prayer, meditation, or simply spending time in nature, nurturing your spiritual side helps you stay grounded and centered in your true self.
    
15. Understand Yourself with Love
    Self-knowledge is key to living a balanced, fulfilling life. By exploring your inner world with love and compassion, you can free yourself from negative patterns and step more fully into your authentic self.
    
16. Reframe Your Thoughts for Positivity
    Our thoughts shape our reality. By consciously shifting negative beliefs into positive, empowering ones, you create a more supportive inner dialogue that helps you thrive in all areas of life.
    
17. Live with Unconditional Love
    At the heart of it all is love. By practicing unconditional love for yourself and others, you raise your vibrations to the highest level, creating a life filled with joy, peace, and connection.
    

By embracing these practices, you can raise your vibrations, nurture your radiant self, and create a life that reflects the beauty and strength within you. Every step you take towards caring for yourself is a step towards a more vibrant, fulfilling life—for you and for those you love.

What is Reiki, anyway?

Imagine having a magical tool at your fingertips, helping you find peace, balance, and healing amidst the chaos of motherhood. Welcome to the world of Reiki! This awesome therapy is all about energy flow, focusing on seven chakras—energy centers in our bodies. Think of them as your inner powerhouses, ready to boost your well-being.

Reiki was developed by a Japanese spiritual teacher named Mikao Usui back in the early 20th century. He mixed meditation techniques, beliefs, and symbols that are even older. It’s a unique way complementary modality, focusing on self-healing, concentration, and five spiritual principles.

The Magical Principles of Reiki

At its heart, Reiki is about healing your emotional and spiritual energy flow. This therapeutic technique channels universal life energy, known as ki in Japanese, which flows through the universe and connects to your body. And guess what? Reiki can work wonders for your pets too!

How Does Reiki Work?

1. Self-Healing: Start with self-healing by placing your hands in specific positions to stimulate your body’s energy. It’s like giving yourself a mini spa day, right at home.

2. Group Healing: Imagine a group of Reiki practitioners surrounding you, placing their hands over your body, and sending waves of healing energy. It’s like a team of energy cheerleaders boosting you up.

3. Distance Healing: Yup, Reiki can work from afar! In distance healing, practitioners visualize the person in need and send healing energy using Reiki symbols. It’s like a magical energy hug sent across the miles.

How Can Reiki Benefit Moms?

​Being a mom is a beautiful adventure, but it can also be a whirlwind of stress and exhaustion. Reiki offers a peaceful oasis—a chance to reconnect with yourself and recharge. Here’s how Reiki can help:

• Stress Relief: Melt away stress and find your calm center, even on those crazy busy days.
• Emotional Balance: Navigate the emotional ups and downs of motherhood with more ease and grace.
• Physical Healing: Ease aches and pains and promote overall well-being.
• Spiritual Growth: Deepen your spiritual connection and find more meaning in everyday moments.

Bringing Reiki into Your Daily LifeYou don’t need to be a Reiki master to enjoy its benefits. Start with simple practices like mindful breathing and self-care rituals. Find a local Reiki practitioner or take a beginner’s class to learn more. And if you’re feeling adventurous, involve your kids in the journey—Reiki can be a beautiful bonding experience for the whole family.

Albert Einstein, one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century, said, “The real valuable thing is intuition.” If such a rational mind can credit intuition so highly, maybe we should give it a try too. With a little practice, coaching, and a few successes, we might just start to see the wisdom in embracing this ‘thing’ called intuition.

You may know that I have been a Reiki Master for over 10 years and am working towards my Reiki Master Teacher certification. This means that if you'd like to learn how to become a Reiki Practitioner, I can help!

Embrace the magic of Reiki and let it guide you towards a life filled with balance, peace, and joy.
