Matt MQ is a Starseed that enjoyed a career in his 20s as a high rating radio announcer in Sydney until his life changed suddenly with a paragliding accident that was broadcast globally. The story of a rescue that “no one thought Matt would survive”.

He broke his back in 4 places severing his spinal cord, busted his pelvis in 6 places, suffered 90 percent blood loss from arterial bleed out from his left leg that was severed on impact, and horrifically endured 3 hours till rescuers came to his aid.

Matt had a NDE on the cliff being given a chance to return home, or go back to life in agony, and later in hospital he experienced unexplained tactile "coma dreams" as well as waking up with a cranial scar that the hospital investigated thinking he had brain surgery before the accident as the scar was fresh.

They were baffled as it was unexplainable, and Matt had never had brain surgery. Further to this, his spinal cord miraculously wasn’t severed when he awoke. And somehow his brain function wasn’t compromised as the blood loss was horrific and not survivable, yet somehow he did.

Upon waking from coma he was thankful to be alive as the coma experience felt like he was living a separate life of torture and military memories that left him confused and traumatized. And this as well as childhood memories of UFOs and extraterrestrials led him to start the Standing Tall podcast discussing PTSD and healing through trauma covering many varied trauma topics and guests sharing their healing journey.
