For Matt, Parihoa has been a place of profound change. First it helped him shift from an unsustainable “life 1” way of being to a simpler, wellbeing centric “life 2” balance. Part of this shift involved Matt exiting ChapmanCG, the global executive search company he co-founded and spent more than a decade building,  by then the largest of its kind on the planet. 

Matt left behind his corporate life in Singapore, moved to NZ full time and embarked on the process of healing himself from burnout and simplifying his life. As this process unfolded, it gave Matt the inspiration to transform Parihoa from being just a place of wellbeing, rest and reflection for him and his friends, to becoming the physical heart of the Parihoa Network, a global collective which is about amplifying potential through wellbeing.
