De'an Matuka

"The body remembers what the mind tries to forget," is a truth that De'an Matuka has built his transformative work around. As the pioneering co-founder of Dearmouring Arts, De'an has dedicated his life to helping people release the physical manifestations of emotional wounds through his revolutionary approach to bodywork.

De'an's journey into de-armouring began over a decade ago when he discovered the profound connection between stored trauma and physical tension. Combining elements from Wilhelm Reich's body armor theory, traditional Tantric practices, and modern somatic therapy, he developed his signature Pain Body Release System – a comprehensive approach that addresses tension patterns accumulated since birth.

What makes De'an's methodology uniquely effective is his masterful balance of "soft" invitational techniques and "deep" intensive work, always prioritizing ethical, trauma-informed touch. This thoughtful approach has established him as a sought-after instructor at major festivals and retreats across the globe, where he's trained hundreds of practitioners in his methods.

In his Beducated courses, "De-Armouring Foundations" and "De-Armouring for Couples," De'an shares accessible versions of techniques previously available only in his exclusive in-person trainings. His warm, grounded teaching style creates a safe container for exploring vulnerable territory, whether you're looking to release your own tension patterns or support a partner through their healing journey.

Students consistently report that De'an's guidance helped them dissolve long-held patterns they'd tried to address through various other modalities without success. His unique gift is making profound somatic healing accessible to everyone – not just healing professionals.
