Meet Dr. Matt Abatelli
A Passion for Transformation
Dr. Matt Abatelli brings a unique combination of expertise, presence, and genuine care to his role at Cheshire Wellness Center. As a dedicated NetworkSpinal practitioner, he has helped countless practice members in the Keene community release tension, reconnect with their innate wisdom, and transform their lives from the inside out. His approach is defined by a deep commitment to seeing each person as a whole being with unlimited potential, not just a collection of symptoms to be treated.
Since carrying the mission of Cheshire Wellness Center forward in 2018, Dr. Matt has created a sanctuary where true healing and growth can occur. His practice philosophy centers on the belief that when you release neurological tension and stress, you naturally express your greatest gifts and potential. This vision guides everything from the calming office environment to the gentle, powerful care he provides.
Educational Journey and Background
Dr. Matt graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina, where he developed a strong foundation in neurologically-based care. Before discovering his passion for NetworkSpinal, he explored various healing modalities including functional medicine and naturopathy, bringing a comprehensive understanding of wellness to his current practice. This diverse background allows him to see connections and possibilities that might be missed within a more limited perspective.
Prior to his chiropractic career, Dr. Matt studied jazz performance as a saxophonist, developing the focus, creativity, and improvisational thinking that now inform his approach to care. He also trained extensively in wilderness skills and tracking, honing his powers of observation and connection to natural rhythms. These seemingly unrelated paths converged to create a practitioner who brings exceptional presence, intuition, and precision to his work.

Approach to Care
When you receive care from Dr. Matt, you experience much more than a typical chiropractic adjustment. His approach creates a space of safety and trust where your nervous system can release long-held patterns of tension and develop new strategies for healing and growth. The gentle contacts he uses communicate directly with your body in a language it understands, helping facilitate natural transformation without forcing or manipulation.
Dr. Matt is known for his remarkable ability to be fully present with each practice member, creating what many describe as “a silence between the ears”, a quality of attention that allows for deep connection and healing. This presence, combined with clear communication and unwavering certainty in your body’s wisdom, creates an environment where profound change can occur naturally and effortlessly.
Beyond the Office
When not serving practice members at Cheshire Wellness Center, Dr. Matt enjoys playing saxophone with bands around New England, diving into natural studies and wilderness living skills, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Above all, he values quality time with his family, including his wife Dr. Tecia and their son River, who embody the principles of wellbeing they share with their practice members.
Dr. Matt believes in bringing the same qualities of presence and connection to all areas of his life, and he encourages his practice members to do the same. His personal commitment to growth and wellbeing strengthens his ability to support others on their journey, creating authentic relationships built on mutual respect and shared vision.
In His Own Words
“What drives me every day is seeing people reconnect with their own resources and discover what’s possible when tension and stress no longer limit them. I believe the first ingredient in any healthy community is healthy people, and my mission is to help as many people as possible become the CEO of their own health instead of outsourcing it.
When you get on the table here, you receive what you can achieve at home through SRI exercises that we teach you in classes and events, but effortlessly, quickly, and more profoundly. It’s amazing to witness someone who came in feeling stuck, stressed, or in pain transform over time, not just physically but in every aspect of their life. That’s the real gift of this work.”
