Dr. Matt as an Energy Healer

Dr. Matthew Longwill received his B.S. in Biology from Santa Clara University in 1996. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West in 2003, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and served as president of the Directional Non-Force Technique club.

With over 20 years of clinical experience as a chiropractor, Dr. Matt has enjoyed helping all types of patients from professional athletes to desk jockeys, from seniors to newborns, and everyone in between. Always specializing in non-force chiropractic, Dr. Matt’s technique never stopped evolving. His thirst for new knowledge has led him to continuously add more layers to his diverse approach to healing. What started as a very effective chiropractic adjustment, eventually morphed into something even more powerful.

Always searching for the root cause, Dr. Matt started to realize that while his chiropractic technique could successfully correct spinal misalignment, oftentimes the misalignment was actually a symptom of something deeper. This began a journey that has led to the creation of Be Vital, Dr. Matt's new energy medicine practice that addresses all aspects of health: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic.

Dr. Matt has attained postdoctoral certification in a unique array of techniques over the years, including Directional Non-Force Technique, Nutrition Response Testing, Neuro Emotional Technique, Matrix Repatterning, Biomagnetism, and Bio Kinetics. Early in 2025, Dr. Matt realized there was one thing that all of these methods have in common—Energy! While much of the chiropractic profession still relies on a biomechanical model, all of these methods utilize the subtle energetics of the body in the assessment, treatment, or both. Without even knowing it, energy medicine has been the main ingredient in Dr. Matt’s secret sauce all along!

During the last decade, Dr. Matt has followed a self-prescribed course of study that began with his fascination of the brain, which led to the exploration of consciousness, which forayed into spiritual inquiry. In 2025, he gave a thorough read to Dr. James Oshman’s Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis. With excitement, Dr. Matt discovered that the concepts covered in this textbook offered real and plausible explanations for much of what he had been experiencing in his own life and in his practice.

Dr. Matt’s healing work has always included energetic components even if they were rarely discussed for fear of sounding too “woo” or too “out there”. But he’s now ready to align with his higher purpose.

“Our bodies emit a measurable energy field that interacts with the world around us. It is now known that all cellular processes rely on an energetic communication network that can be affected by our environment and by accumulated traumas- both physical and emotional. A healing approach that doesn’t address the energy flow or balance within us will be incomplete and less effective.”
