Hi, I’m Michael.

I’m a Hakomi-informed somatic coach and facilitator. My work is steady, spacious, and practical—supporting you in listening to your body, meeting protective patterns with kindness, and moving toward what truly matters.

I write and teach about presence, pacing, and ways of working that honor lived experience. My work is shaped by mindfulness, movement, relational presence, and language that makes room for nuance and different ways of sensing, thinking, and knowing. I work from lived experience of nonlinear attention and learning, and I design sessions and materials with accessibility in mind.

I’ve lived and worked across many cultures and worked with founders, facilitators, and civic and development teams, as well as individuals doing deep personal work around shame, expression, anger, and authenticity. Across all of it, my focus is the same: creating environments where people feel safe enough to be honest, and supported enough to explore their experience.

How we’ll work

We slow down and listen closely. We invite mindfulness, track sensation and impulse, and try small, reversible experiments. Consent is active and pace is set by natural unfolding. Instead of fixing or forcing, we follow your system’s intelligence and let new possibilities emerge.

Get in touch

If you’re curious or wondering whether this work might be a fit, I’d be glad to hear from you.

I offer a free short intro call to explore fit. You don’t need the right words. Just begin where you are.
