About us
Michael - deep strength / empathetic / sensitive / clear / playful - with a passion for the connection of body, mind, and soul.
Ever since I started practicing Jiu-Jitsu more than 20 years ago, I have been fascinated by surrender—first in all the ways it could be achieved through combat techniques, but gradually also in other ways. Like a puzzle, a gift—not as defeat or loss, as it is often perceived, but as a positive, intuitive way of living.
As an assistant in Tantra modules and retreats (Temple of Tantric Arts - Alexa Mira), I am valued for my presence of strength and safety, which allows participants to fully reveal themselves.
More than 20 years of Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ, and grappling have provided a strong foundation in body awareness, anatomy, safety, and the calmness and confidence required for bodywork.
In 2019, I came into contact with Shibari and instantly fell in love with its beauty and the many forms of deep connection it enables. I love the sensuality, surrender, and healing work that the sessions bring. It became a true passion, and I deepened my knowledge through Ligatio, Duchy, and extensive self-study.
I learned that life becomes easier when you can let go. Without realizing it, we may arm ourselves too much or cling tightly to control, causing us to close off our hearts too much. But surrender frees you from these cages, making it feel safer to love.
I completed a Professional Tantra Kashmiri training with Swami Anahata and a Lomi Lomi massage training with Ricardo.

From an early age, it became clear that caring for others and connecting with people was second nature to me. However, over the years, one of my greatest strengths also became one of my biggest challenges. Yet, the deep desire to truly make a difference for others remained. I am sincere, warm, enthusiastic, driven, dedicated, and eager to learn.
I absolutely love working with people. I am someone who radiates energy and enthusiasm.
But… for several years, I often pushed myself too hard. Like most people, I have also encountered my fair share of obstacles and crossroads in life.
I decided to start studying again and mapped out a variety of courses. This marked the beginning of my inner journey. I realized that true strength lies within me—within all of us. I started working on who I truly am, embracing new habits and new ways of thinking. And to be completely honest… I have never felt this happy!
All my experiences—working abroad as an expat (immersing myself in and adapting to a different culture), being a self-employed entrepreneur in the hospitality industry, and navigating life without children despite wanting them—enrich my coaching practice. I know what it means to fall and rise again. The challenges on my life’s path have shaped me into who I am today, and I continue to choose, time and time again, to say a wholehearted ‘YES’ to life.
I still invest in my personal development. It’s a joy to witness myself continue to GROW, both personally and relationally, and I wholeheartedly wish the same for you!
In my free time, I love being active outdoors. Creativity is also important to me… soon, handmade candles will be available in the webshop. I also deeply enjoy sharing good food and meaningful conversations with friends.
