Hi! My name is Belinda Matwali…
Belinda is the name my parents gave me and means “Be-Beautiful”
Matwali is a spiritual name that was given to me which means “Inebriated with the Divine”
I use both names together and for me, it is a symbol of Human + Being.
We are called Human Beings, yet most of the time aren’t taught how to integrate the two. For many years I was more identified with my wounding, and my mind. Over the years I’ve done a lot of personal healing work, to understand that there’s no point pushing away parts of us we don’t like, but rather welcoming them in with care and compassion, and seeing how it’s only then, they have less hold on us.
In 2011 I took a leap of faith and left my investment banking job and life in London and began on a remarkable journey where I met my meditation masters, and began studying and learning meditation, spiritual psychology, and astrology.
I started to notice that many people struggled with meditation and mindfulness because of trauma responses and wanting to disassociate from uncomfortable emotions as a coping mechanism from past experiences. This led me to train with Dr Gabor Mate in his trauma-informed psychotherapeutic training, Compassionate Inquiry. I’m now in his mentorship program. This training has not only been life changing for me, but my clients.
Being multi-passionate and loving connecting the dots of life, I also saw the benefit of incorporating Astrology. It’s the “OG” personality test, and can help us learn so much about nature, and what life is asking of us in each season.
I have a long standing love affair with techno music and meditation which I combine in my passion project Electronic Music Meditation. I share at festivals and private events around the world.
My dream is to help you see meditation as something that is juicy and addictive and the greatest investment you could possibly make in yourself. To me, there is nothing higher than discovering who you are and the meaning of life.
I currently live between London and Ibiza, with my partner who is a music producer, DJ and psychotherapist. I’m from Australia and love the ocean and even studied marine biology after I left school. I have travelled the world extensively and spent time living in Bali, Brazil, Ibiza and regularly visit India.

Testimonials
Belinda’s spiritual devotion is simply exquisite to witness.
Rarely have I seen or met a person who is so faithful to the practice of living from Stillness; someone who truly, deeply walks her talk in every moment of life.
Her commitment to embodying Love is palpable in her presence. I’m convinced that everyone who knows Belinda would say she’s simply and purely a bright, shining light.

Ever wanted to try meditation? If so I highly recommend looking into your journey to begin with this amazing being Belinda Matwali. I am truly inspired by her and her dedication to her path of expansion, peace and limitlessness. She is a woman of true integrity and she embodies what she speaks and is a true illumination of herself and others. I get asked a lot who I would recommend..and I don’t recommend many people. I’m all about integrity and truth. If you are too, Belinda’s your ANGEL! Thank-you for always being a beacon of light in my life and for constantly inspiring me to pick myself up of the floor and keep going. 🙏🏻🧡
Lisa Wright of Warriors of the Divine
“Working with Belinda literally blew my mind. I always assumed that meditating meant sitting in silence while trying to fend off my thoughts. Belinda has taught me so much about conscious awareness! For the first time in my adult life, I was able to truly ground myself without judgment, guilt or fear. Thank you for helping me reconnect with my inner space and potential!”
Stephanie
“I am so happy I got to encounter Belinda on my meditation path. I took two courses with her: Addicted to Being and Ecstasy Now and so grateful I did. As I am deeply connected with music and dance since forever, I was looking for new mentors who experiment with that on a meditation level and Belinda is one of my favourites now. I feel so blessed.”
Eva Dziedzic de Aguirre
“Working with Belinda was my entry into spiritual development. Her warmth is infectious, and her wisdom invaluable. Each session was a chance to go deep, be vulnerable and get curious. I now journal and meditate daily, which is really helping me tune in to my inner voice.”
Nadia Anderson
