Inner Child Matrix (ICM)
What is ICM?
Inner Child Matrix (ICM) is a trauma-informed therapeutic modality, that uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping as a basis.
Subconscious programmes run 95%-98% of your daily behaviour, activities and habits. Many of these negative programmes were imprinted in the first 6 years of your life based on
trauma, misperceptions and observing those around you. These programmes are based on images of these past events, held in your local fields and regarded subconsciously as current events. Eventually when these negative programmes cause enough stress, the body will try to adapt at a chemical, hormonal, cellular and DNA level. When this happens you will develop a physical or psychological dis-ease [1].
Inner Child Matrix changes these images. In ICM, we work with the energetic representations of our past versions or 'selves', which carry the memories, emotions ('energy in motion') and beliefs that impact our present reality and experiences. This includes the wounds and traumas that affect all aspects of our lives including health, relationships, career, abundance, spirituality and vitality, preventing us from reaching our full potential and becoming the best versions of our selves. This deep inner healing work is done in the 'matrix', which is a field of unconditional love and pure potential, where we freely interact with all forms of energies that may arise in our consciousness, i.e., living or non-living beings in form or formless states, as well as animate and inanimate objects, whether they be our loved ones, spirit guides, God/Goddess, higher self, animal spirits, nature, symbols or anything else that bring us wisdom, healing and transformation.

What I Offer
In my psycho-spiritual work, I combine Tarot with Oracle cards, a modern version of cartomancy, for greater insight and validation.
I currently offer 2 types of services based on card readings:
​
Tarot Readings: These are readings for providing guidance regarding any aspect, relationship or situation in your life. These can be done for both individuals and couples and are one-off readings (i.e. reading is completed in one session).
​
Tarot for Transformation: These are psycho-spiritual coaching/counselling sessions where Tarot is used as a tool for accessing information at conscious and unconscious levels, along with other tools where required, for deep inner healing and transformation. Therapeutic in nature, these require several sessions depending on the nature of the requirement and the goal that will be determined during the preliminary session. These sessions are more interactive and require the active participation of the client, and involve reflective exercises and integrative practices between sessions. Hence this method is recommended for those who feel the need for and can commit to a serious process of self-exploration and transformation. This method can be used for individuals, couples and groups, however, currently I am taking only individual clients.
​
Price: USD 30 (international) / LKR 3,000 (local) per hour per person​
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Yee Thong (Malaysia)
Thanks to Chathuri for all the 4 amazing sessions!
Firstly, as a therapist, Chathuri did not have any agenda and let me (as a client) led the way. Initially, I did not have clarity as to what I wish to work on. We finally landed on something deeply personal and private on sexual identity and orientation. I have not explored nor addressed this topic in my entire life. This says a lot about Chathuri’s ability in creating a safe space for her clients (me included) to be truly authentic and open in one’s exploration.
Secondly, Chathuri remained grounded throughout the sessions. I recalled I initially stated that I have doubts with EFT (one of the modalities used) as I have tried it before but it did not work for me. Chathuri stayed present with me and let the work unfold itself. I must say I have a very different perception and impression as to what EFT /ICM and its benefit now - after the work I have done with Chathuri.
Thirdly, the entire re-birthing exercise was pretty profound for me. I have done the sessions in the middle of a period where I have had experienced what I believe to be intergenerational trauma vis-à-vis my grandmother. The entire process guided by Chathuri brought me back to rekindling and rewiring my relationships with both my grandmother and mother.
Fourthly, Chathuri’s genuine care in-between sessions, is very much appreciated. Whilst many things can emerge during the session, there can be more things that might come up post sessions. Chathuri constantly check-in with me e.g. there were moments I felt extremely exhausted after the session, only to realize I forgot to cleanse myself with sea salt, of which Chathuri reminded me.
For anyone who wants to do deep work, I highly recommend Chathuri.

It's been six weeks since we finished our six sessions. First of all, thank you for transmitting profound healing.
To be honest, I don't recall the sessions in detail as you took me in deep trance, but I do remember overarching themes - relationship with my father, balancing masculine and feminine, and surrendering/letting go control.
My relationship with my father improved after that single session. I remember a day before the session, I had an argument with him where he simply wasn't hearing me out. And a day after your session, he and I had the same conversation and he heard me. He acknowledged his role in what had happened. From there on, my grudge and annoyance towards him dissipated and our relationship has gotten better.
I still recognize how he is covertly toxic, but I am no longer angry with him about the past. Also, I don't want to use the term 'covertly toxic' because I am also on my way to accept him as he is and not judge him or attach labels. This is also because, i feel, during the session you restored something that was broken within me that is no longer affected to an extent that causes volatile emotional states (not only with my father, but brother and husband, too). I am able to be a witness to him and what happens within me as a reaction to him.
The balance of masculine and feminine was MAGIC!!!!!!! The two identities that came up were the perfect representation of being, doing, and transforming. And I am so thankful to you for helping me integrate them as I am fully aware of how I am being, doing, and transforming because of integrating them.
A week after our sessions got over, I began cross fit training and consulted a nutritionist for appropriate diet. It's been over a month and I am still regular with my workouts, following my diet guidelines and yet doing it flexibly by being in tune with my body, without pressure or guilt.
I also took charge of my finances by getting financially literate and learning about clearing debt, and savings and investments. My first goal of being financially independent will be realized at the end of April 2024 when I am going to get my first salary.
The above two are big successes, but I see more in my day-to-day life in small things, in the way I perceive things and in the choices I make and in how I am being and in who I am being. I have more clarity and a better sense of self that helps me discern when to take action and when to withdraw, what to water and what to release, what to change and what to accept.
There are times when I am surprised by myself, and funnily, how different I am being/choosing/doing than my parents. This transformation is significant because in 2022, I had wished for this - wouldn't it be great if I were free of my mother's conditioning? And in 2024, with you, I have been able to take this wish further ahead. I can feel the grip of my father's conditioning also losing its hold. There is still a long way to go and I am so excited for the journey.
Coming back to where I am six weeks since the sessions, the MOST MOST MOST important change I am seeing in me is a softening/relaxing/releasing control/letting go of the desire to prove my worth to the world. This is the most insane change because a few days ago someone in the family tried to make me feel bad about something and for a moment I did. The old me would have moved mountains to prove how that person is wrong and I am better than them and I would be in an agitated state for a length of time and wouldn't sleep or enjoy anything. But this time I could not be bothered. I am so okay with them being them and I feel no desire to change them or to prove I am right or better. I don't want to waste my energy on it, not because I am energyless, but because it is so trivial in the larger scheme of things. For the first time, I am so okay in myself and I like myself. For the first time I have proper blinders on that keep me in my lane, focused on my growth and I am happy with it.
The healing you did is seeping in my subconscious slowly, steadily, exactly as it should. I see myself making better choices each week. On 1st April, I signed up for daily meditation classes. I have also began daily prayers because my relationship with God has improved (earlier it was bitter and broken as I blamed God for everything). Literally this morning I prayed and thanked God from my heart not just mouth. I can feel his blessings. I haven't genuinely thanked him in 10 years! I think it began to improve when you helped me connect with my cosmic parents (father sky and mother earth). Thank you :-)
Chathuri, you are a wonderful healer. The changes in me and my circumstances are testament to your skills.
I loved that you were in tune with me every moment of our time together. The way you guided me was incredibly creative; it showed your presence of mind and attunement to me. I could fully trust you and surrender myself to the magic that you brought in each session.
Love you forever and always, and also deeply, deeply thankful!
