About

Hi, I’m Michael.

I’m a Hakomi-informed somatic coach, facilitator, educator, parent, and founder of Boulder Soma. My work lives at the intersection of somatic mindfulness, leadership, entrepreneurship, teaching, and relational change.

I’ve worked with founders, teams, investors, public institutions, and organizations across four continents. I’ve also been shaped by parenthood, loss, neurodivergence, and significant life transitions. All of that informs how I hold this work: with steadiness, humility, context, and respect for what people carry quietly.

A steady room for honest contact.

Across personal and organizational work, my focus is creating conditions where people can be honest, stay in choice, and explore what is actually happening.

Experience that shapes the work

What I bring into the room.

The work is not held from one frame alone. It is shaped by business, somatic practice, facilitation, teaching, parenthood, neurodivergence, and lived experience.

◎

Global perspective

Work across cultures, sectors, and continents, with respect for context and different ways of knowing.

△

Entrepreneurial lens

Deep experience with founders, leadership teams, venture work, early-stage companies, and growth.

◌

Organizational depth

Familiarity with complex rooms, decision pressure, power, incentives, ambiguity, and change.

○

Somatic practice

Hakomi-informed coaching and facilitation grounded in consent, attention, embodiment, and choice.

✦

Lived humanity

Parenthood, loss, and major transitions have deepened my respect for pace, care, and what people carry quietly.

↝

Neurodivergent lens

Lived experience with ADHD, dyslexia, and non-linear attention informs how I make room for different rhythms of processing.

How I show up

A steady, flexible way of working.

The work is spacious, but it is not vague. I bring presence, structure, curiosity, and practical attention to what is happening now.

Present I bring my full attention to what is alive, not an agenda.
Relational We explore together. Your experience leads the way.
Grounded I stay with the body, the room, and what is real.
Curious I hold openness and follow what wants to emerge.
Practical We translate insight into choices you can actually live.
Flexible We make room for pauses, leaps, loops, images, and non-linear attention.

My lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia has shaped my respect for non-linear attention, pattern recognition, body-based knowing, and different ways people make sense of experience. There is no one right way to arrive.

The practice

Simple, deep, and close to life.

My work is both simple and deep. We slow down, sense what is happening, and make space for what wants to be understood.

From there, we look for the next clean move: a boundary, conversation, decision, repair, pause, practice, or new way of being in contact with yourself and others.

The work can include clear language, silence, body sensation, emotion, story, relational dynamics, and the small signals that often appear before a person knows exactly what they mean.

Where does the moment live?
That’s where we start.

Ready to begin?

Start with the path closest to what you’re carrying.

If the moment lives in leadership or organizational life, begin with Work. If it lives in your body, relationships, emotions, or inner life, begin with Within.
