De'an Matuka
Dearmouring Practitioner & Healer
As the pioneering co-founder of Dearmouring Arts, De'an Matuka has spent over a decade developing his signature Pain Body Release System, which combines Wilhelm Reich's body armor theory with traditional Tantric practices and modern somatic therapy. His trauma-informed approach to releasing physical tension has made him a sought-after instructor at major festivals and retreats worldwide.
De'an's journey into de-armouring began when he discovered the profound connection between stored trauma and physical tension in his own body. "The body remembers what the mind tries to forget" became his guiding truth as he experienced firsthand how intentional touch could dissolve emotional barriers he'd carried for years. This personal transformation inspired him to develop accessible techniques that help couples break through intimacy blocks that other modalities couldn't address.
De'an's teaching methodology uniquely balances "soft" invitational techniques with "deep" intensive work, always prioritizing ethical, consent-based touch. His warm, grounded style creates a safe container for exploring vulnerable territory, making profound somatic healing accessible to everyone—not just healing professionals. This course shares techniques previously available only in his exclusive in-person trainings.
Course FAQ
Not at all! De'an designed this course specifically for beginners with no prior experience. You'll start with foundational techniques and gradually build your confidence with clear demonstrations and step-by-step guidance. Even if you've never practiced intentional touch work before, the course provides all the tools you need to create meaningful experiences.
Many couples notice subtle shifts in their connection after just one thoughtful de-armouring session, particularly in how safe they feel being vulnerable together. The most significant benefits develop over time as you regularly practice the techniques and build upon your experiences. Consistency is key – even short weekly sessions over 1-2 months can lead to remarkable transformations in physical and emotional intimacy.
While it's ideal if both partners take the course together, just one partner learning these techniques can still create powerful shifts in your relationship. The course includes specific guidance on how to introduce de-armouring concepts to a partner who hasn't taken the course. You'll learn how to clearly communicate what you're offering, establish consent, and create a comfortable experience that respects their boundaries.
Unlike regular massage which focuses primarily on relaxing muscles, de-armouring addresses both physical and emotional tension patterns that have built up over time. De'an's approach is unique in how it combines specific pressure techniques with emotional awareness, creating a container for release that goes beyond physical relaxation. The course teaches you to recognize tension patterns, facilitate emotional release, and support integration – skills that transform touch into a healing experience.
The course specifically addresses this common concern with a module on creating emotional safety. You'll learn specific approaches to gradually build trust, including consent practices, non-verbal communication signals, and how to honor boundaries in the moment. De'an provides concrete scripts and prompts to help initiate conversations about comfort levels, along with modification techniques that allow for gentle progression at your partner's pace.
This is completely normal and the course thoroughly prepares you for supporting emotional releases. De'an teaches specific grounding techniques and provides guidance on how to hold space compassionately when emotions surface. You'll learn exactly what to say and do in these moments, including when to pause, how to offer reassurance, and ways to safely continue or conclude a session when needed.
The beauty of these techniques is their simplicity – all you really need is a comfortable surface like a bed or massage mat. De'an provides practical recommendations for creating an optimal environment with items you likely already have at home. The course includes a complete session preparation guide covering everything from room temperature and lighting to optional elements like music and natural oils that can enhance the experience.
