TRANSFORM STRESS INTO STRENGTH
AND DEEPEN YOUR
EXPERIENCE OF LIFE
Teaching practical mindfulness and self-regulation strategies to manage stress, become more resilient, and live well.
Matt Dewar, EdD, is a professional educator, author, and speaker working at the intersection of mindfulness, self-regulation, and emotional resilience.
“There are two types of stress: Stress that leads to dysfunction, disease, and disability and stress that leads to resilience, growth, and transformation. The difference between the two lies not in the stress itself but in our ability to skillfully respond to it.”
—Matt Dewar
“Dr. Dewar is a friend and mentor. His ability and willingness to connect, teach, and motivate individuals of all ages is what makes him remarkable.”
— JR Reimer, Student-Athlete (Baseball), Northwestern University (Class of 2018)
”After working with Dr. Dewar, I went on to be an all-conference player in two positions, but more importantly I now have a strategy to regulate my mental state and attack the challenges life throws at me.“
— Michael Bounds, Student-Athlete (Football), Lake Forest College
”Matt’s ability to connect with people in a very warm, authentic way, combined with his technical expertise make him a remarkable and trusted voice. Looking to engage with our friends and supporters during especially challenging times, we partnered with Dr. Dewar to deliver a virtual “master class” on mindful breathing and turning stress into strength. Thank you, Dr. Dewar, for such an impactful session!“
— Peter Bower, Market Executive Director, ALSAC-St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
