Welcome to Body-Based Breakthrough™

At Body-Based Breakthrough™, we believe true transformation begins in the body. That’s why we created the B3 Method™ — a complete, science-backed system that bridges nervous system education with somatic practice.

Our programs equip coaches, mentors, and leaders to grow as practitioners, create lasting breakthroughs for their clients, and step more deeply into their own embodiment. Through breath, movement, journaling, and coaching, the B3 Method™ offers practical tools that restore balance, build confidence, and unlock authentic connection.

Because transformation doesn’t happen in the mind alone — it’s lived and embodied in the body.

I’m Matthew Cooke, SEP, founder and creator of Body-Based Breakthrough. For 15+ years, I’ve devoted my life to the study and practice of nervous system healing—drawing from Somatic Experiencing, attachment theory, and trauma-informed methods to help people reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies. 



As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), trained by leaders like Peter Levine and Diane Poole Heller, I’ve guided 1,000+ leaders through breakthrough experiences, including executives from Google, Apple, SpaceX, Snapchat, Disney/Pixar, and other Fortune 500 companies.
