Hi, I’m Matt V. Ashford (aka Matthew Skawinski or Izzy Raphel). My mission is to help individuals break free from unconscious patterns, self-sabotage, addictions, compulsions, and limiting beliefs that prevent them from reaching their fullest potential.

Having personally overcome deeply ingrained patterns of self-destructive behaviors, compulsions, and addictive tendencies, I understand the inner struggle between willpower and subconscious programming. My journey has led me to explore both scientific and spiritual approaches, blending psychology, neurophysiology, and neuroscience with holistic healing, alternative medicine, and deep shadow work.

My Expertise & Approach

I bridge the gap between science and spirituality, guiding individuals through transformational healing and self-mastery:

Psychology & Neuroscience → Understanding the brain’s reward system, emotional regulation, and subconscious conditioning to rewire destructive habits.

Holistic & Alternative Healing → Integrating meditation, energy transmutation, and body-mind techniques for deep-rooted healing.

Coaching & Emotional Intelligence → As an advanced-level coach, I help individuals develop self-awareness, break unhealthy patterns, and cultivate resilience.

Hypnotherapy & Subconscious Work → Utilizing foundational hypnotherapy techniques to rewire limiting beliefs and emotional blockages.

Astrology as a Self-Discovery Tool → Using astrology as a psychological insight tool to uncover shadow aspects, life lessons, and unconscious tendencies.

✅ Overcome addictions, compulsions, and repetitive sabotaging behaviors
