About

Michael is an Embodiment Coach and Intimacy Mentor who supports humans in the realms of sexuality, intimacy, and purpose.

Who I Am

For over 15 years, I’ve devoted my life to understanding human potential, performance, and self-mastery.

My journey has taken me from coaching professional athletes at the highest level to exploring the depths of spirituality, sexuality, and human consciousness.

Today, my work is devoted to supporting humans in moving from performance to presence, developing a beautiful relationship with their life-force energy, and living in alignment with their truth.

I believe the game of life is to free yourself from yourself, then support others in the same endeavor.

My Journey

Ever since I can remember, I identified myself as an athlete. My happiness, sense of worth, and entire identity became wrapped up in my performance.

At 10 years old, I was diagnosed with a spinal disease. Four years later, I began experiencing debilitating back pain. I was a 14-year-old boy with an 80-year-old spine, which eventually led to an unsuccessful back surgery at the age of 22.

My relationship with my body became a doorway into understanding human performance, movement, and the innate intelligence of the body.

I eventually became a human performance coach, training professional athletes, and later landed my dream job with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Yet underneath the surface of my professional success, I was carrying years of subconscious conditioning, emotional pain, and insecurity.

I struggled deeply with confidence, especially with women. Porn became an outlet for me to numb myself from feeling.

A painful relationship breakup exposed my conditioning around sexuality, intimacy, and performance, and ultimately forced me to go within and face the truth.

As I dove into the sacred arts of Eastern mysticism, Kundalini Yoga, breathwork, energy work, and embodiment practices, it became clear that at the center of my misery was an entanglement between my spirituality, my sexuality, and my conditioning around performance.

This became the journey of embodiment.

Learning to relax into my body, digest my emotions, uncover my subconscious patterns, and reconnect with the essential nature of who I am underneath all of my conditioning.

Moving from performance to presence.

From a relationship with sexuality rooted in fear, shame, and the need to perform, toward experiencing beautiful, loving sex with a woman I deeply love.

What began as a journey to free myself from physical pain became a much deeper exploration of the psychological, emotional, and energetic prisons keeping me disconnected from my own freedom.

My Devotion

Today, my devotion is to supporting humans who are ready to face themselves, free themselves from their limiting identities, and begin living in alignment with their truth.

I believe how we do sex is how we do life.

Our relationship with sexuality, intimacy, pleasure, and desire reveals so much about how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to life itself.

Through deep inquiry, embodiment practices, nervous system regulation, and conscious exploration of our life-force energy, we begin to uncover the places within ourselves where fear, resistance, and conditioning keep us disconnected from what we truly desire.

My work is about supporting people in building beautiful relationships, experiencing transformative sex, and cultivating sacred intimacy while living a life of purpose, presence, and spiritual freedom.

From the boardroom to the bedroom to the arena, the invitation is the same.

Master performance through presence and create the results you desire.
