About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Your body holds onto emotional pain long after your mind has forgotten it. De-armouring unlocks this stored tension, offering a path to deep healing and embodied freedom.
You're likely facing:
- Persistent Physical Tension - Your body carries tension that doesn't respond to regular massage because it's rooted in unprocessed emotional experiences.
- Limiting Behavioral Patterns - You find yourself stuck in cycles of people-pleasing or conflict avoidance that undermine your personal power and authentic expression.
- Unresolved Emotional Blockages - Past traumas create energetic imprints in your body that manifest as numbness, anxiety, or difficulties in intimate relationships.
This course teaches you practical self-de-armouring techniques to identify and release tension throughout your body. You'll learn how to use breath, touch, and awareness to transform stored pain into emotional liberation. These gentle yet powerful practices can help you reclaim your personal sovereignty and experience deeper physical pleasure and spiritual connection.

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, a revolutionary approach to releasing stored trauma through bodywork. His expertise combines Wilhelm Reich's body armor theory, traditional Tantric practices, and modern somatic therapy into a comprehensive methodology that has trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide.
De'an's journey into de-armouring began when he personally discovered the profound connection between his stored emotional wounds and physical tension patterns. This revelation transformed his understanding of the body's wisdom and motivated him to create a systematic approach to healing that addresses tensions accumulated since birth. What started as his own healing journey evolved into a mission to make profound somatic healing accessible to everyone, not just healing professionals.
De'an's teaching balances "soft" invitational techniques with "deep" intensive work, always prioritizing ethical, trauma-informed touch. His warm, grounded style creates a safe container for exploring vulnerable territory, making complex bodywork principles accessible through clear, step-by-step guidance. Students consistently report dissolving long-held patterns they couldn't release through other healing modalities.
Course FAQ
Absolutely! This course was specifically designed to welcome beginners into the practice of de-armouring with clear, step-by-step guidance. De'an Matuka has structured the lessons to start with fundamental techniques before progressing to more advanced practices, ensuring you build confidence at each stage. No prior experience with bodywork or energy practices is required—just an openness to connecting with your body.
The beauty of the self-healing routines taught in this course is their flexibility—you'll learn both quick 5-minute techniques for daily maintenance and deeper 20-30 minute practices for when you have more time. De'an emphasizes creating a personalized approach that works with your unique schedule and needs. Many students find that even short, consistent practice yields noticeable benefits in how they respond to stress and relate to others.
Not at all! This Foundations course focuses specifically on self-administered techniques you can practice independently. While partner de-armouring offers different benefits (covered in advanced courses), the self-practice methods taught here are powerful tools for personal healing. If you do have a supportive partner who's curious, there's guidance on how to share your experience with them, but it's completely optional.
Many students report feeling immediate shifts in body awareness and energy flow after their first few practice sessions. The more profound emotional releases and behavioral changes typically emerge within 2-4 weeks of regular practice as your body learns to trust the process. Remember that de-armouring is a journey—each person's timeline for specific results varies based on their individual patterns and history of stored tension.
Unlike conventional massage that focuses primarily on muscle relaxation, de-armouring specifically targets the fascial system where emotional memory is stored. The targeted touch protocols taught by De'an work with your body's energetic and emotional layers, not just the physical tissue. This course also uniquely integrates breathwork and emotional awareness practices that transform the root causes of tension, rather than temporarily alleviating symptoms.
This is a common and natural part of the process that De'an addresses directly in the course. You'll learn specific breathwork techniques to regulate your nervous system and process emotions safely as they arise. The course includes a dedicated module on creating emotional safety and setting boundaries with yourself, including when to pause, when to continue, and how to integrate emotional releases. Your wellbeing and sense of safety are always the priority.
De-armouring works directly with your body's wisdom rather than imposing external techniques or solutions. What makes De'an's approach unique is the combination of physical touch with emotional awareness and energetic understanding—addressing healing on all levels simultaneously. Many students who've tried talk therapy, traditional bodywork, or energy healing separately find that de-armouring's integrated approach helps them break through plateaus by accessing the actual physical locations where emotional patterns are stored.
