Matt Santi
— Because Real Change Starts Inside
Hi, I'm Matt Santi
Real, lasting change? It starts inside. It’s messy, meaningful, and rooted in rediscovering who you are and what lights you up. That’s what I help people do—cut through the noise, get clear on what matters, and take purposeful steps toward creating a fulfilling, aligned life. With my coaching, you’ll gain clarity, direction, and a renewed sense of purpose, leading to a life that truly resonates with you.
Through virtual coaching sessions and immersive personal growth courses, I work with people like you who are ready to shake things up. Forget cookie-cutter advice or one-size-fits-all approaches—this is about building a life that fits you. Here’s the deal—this isn’t about perfection or hitting imaginary milestones.

— part coach, part strategist, and full-time believer that the best transformations don't come from flashy quick fixes.
It’s about tiny, intentional shifts that start right where you are today. In our coaching sessions, we’ll start by understanding your current situation, then we’ll work together to set achievable goals and create a personalized plan for your transformation.
Why Coaching with Matt is Different.
When I talk about transformation, I mean transformation that fits your real, messy, beautiful life. I don’t bring empty buzzwords or complicated action plans to the table. I bring clarity, strategy, and the right mix of encouragement and real talk to keep you moving forward.
Whether you’re looking to reclaim your spark, reshape your goals, or find a way to cut through the overwhelm, I’m here to help you reimagine what’s possible. It’s about rewriting your story and rediscovering the version of you that thrives—not for anyone else, but for yourself.
A truth that might surprise you is that success isn’t some far-off, glittering destination. It’s the collection of tiny, purposeful steps you take daily. And here’s where I come in—as your guide, your collaborator, and your biggest cheerleader along the way.
You will learn how to:
Track your goals and feel better organized.
Stay on top of your team’s tasks and stay focused.
Stop wasting time and achieve your company’s goals.
Feel your confidence skyrocket by feeling less stressed.
Ditch the pen and paper and quit fiddle farting around.
Coaching vs. Counseling—What's the Difference?
While I’m working toward my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling (Grand Canyon University), my role as a coach is clear—I’m here to focus on where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.
Counseling focuses on unpacking the deeper emotional and mental health challenges tied to your past.
Coaching, though? It's all about forward momentum—goal setting, strategy building, and creating actionable plans that align with your values and vision.
Think of me as your compass—not just a guide to finding your direction, but the person who helps you map out the best route.
20+ Years of Experience, Growth, and Connection
Before coaching became my life’s work, I walked my path of trial and error and profound personal growth. Over two decades, I’ve immersed myself in self-improvement, honed the art of meaningful connection, and faced my own roadblocks head-on. This journey has equipped me with the empathy, understanding, and strategies to guide you through your own transformation.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language & Culture from Washington State University, I learned the importance of perspective—how every story, challenge, and breakthrough comes from seeing the world through a deeper lens. Today, as I pursue my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, I’m building on that foundation to better help others transform their lives from the inside out. My education equips me with the knowledge and skills to guide you effectively.
This work isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. My goal is simple—to help you rethink your own possibilities, take intentional action, and build a life you’re genuinely excited to wake up to.
Coaching That Feels
Real, Relatable, and Doable
I get it—life is messy, unpredictable, and constantly balanced. That’s why coaching with me won’t feel like school or homework. It’ll feel like opening up space to breathe again.
This isn’t about adding “big-picture thinking” to your already overloaded to-do list. It’s about taking small, meaningful steps forward that actually fit the life you’re living. Whether it’s reclaiming your headspace, setting micro-goals, or tackling the self-doubt that’s been holding you back, we’ll build simple, realistic, and achievable strategies. I’ll guide you through a process that’s manageable and fits into your life.
And those tiny wins? They have a way of adding up. Because of significant transformations? They always start with the small stuff.
