Why this exists

You have optimised
everything except you.

For 10 years I worked inside high-pressure tech startups - product manager, strategist, builder. The external results were there. The burnout was too.

After coaching nearly 100 founders through transitions, I saw the same pattern: brilliant people hitting a ceiling that no framework could break through. The missing piece wasn't another strategy. It was the inner work.

So I went to find it. Four and a half months in Thailand - Vipassana, a 200-hour yoga teacher training, somatic therapy. The most transformative experience of my life. The Evolution Protocol is that journey, held and structured for founders who cannot disappear for months - but who are ready to go just as deep.

I do not teach from theory.
I teach from life.

What we work across

Four areas.
One integrated shift.

Together, we work across four areas:

01

Presence, Clarity & A New Perspective on Life

Through Vipassana and yogic philosophy, shifting the lens through which you see everything. Where equanimity, impermanence, and oneness change how you relate to yourself and the world - and fulfilment becomes not something you chase, but something you live.

02

Somatic & Emotional Release

Through yogic movement, body scan practices, and somatic therapy, releasing emotions that have been stored in your body for years. Moving through it, not around it.

03

Subconscious Rewiring

Going to the root of the limiting beliefs quietly running your decisions - around worth, success, and belonging - and rebuilding them from truth, not fear.

04

Self-Discovery & Identity

Getting honest about who you truly are beneath the roles, the titles, and the achievements. Separating what is yours from what you absorbed from others. This is where everything begins.

The journey

Twelve weeks.
Four phases.
One transformation.

Each phase mirrors one stage of my own transformation - held together, with time to integrate between each step.

I

Weeks 1–3

Stillness & Observation

Learning to observe rather than react

You have been running so long that stillness feels foreign. We begin here - training the nervous system to pause before it performs.

Vipassana Meditation Body scanning Reactivity journaling

II

Weeks 4–6

The Mental Layers

Tracing the beliefs that make your decisions

You know what to do but can't do it. That gap isn't discipline - it's subconscious. We go to the source.

Pattern mapping Subconscious Rewiring Guided Self-Discovery

III

Weeks 7–9

The Body That Kept the Score

Releasing what the mind alone can't shift

Your body has been signalling for years. Here we listen - and move through what has been stored, not around it.

IV

Weeks 10–12

Integration & Self-Worth

Building from wholeness, not performance

Your pricing, your boundaries, your visibility - all of it runs through self-worth. We go there, and we rebuild from the root.

This is for you if

You have built a lot.
Now it is time to
build from within.

Something in you already knows the next level is not out there - it is IN here

You are done learning about transformation. You are ready to live it.

You want a mentor who holds strategy and inner work in the same hand, as one approach

You are willing to look at yourself honestly - all of it

You are building something that genuinely matters, and you feel the weight of that

This is not for you if

You are looking for a quick lift, a reset, or another tool to add to the stack

You want answers without going to the root of your inner self

You are not ready to be truly seen - by yourself or by others

You need clinical or medical support (this is not that, and that is okay)

If something in you said yes -
that is enough to begin.

What members say

In their own words

I came in sceptical. I left knowing exactly what had been holding me back for years. This is not coaching in any way I had experienced before.

— Alex T.  ·  [DUMMY]

Product Consultant · Berlin

For the first time in years, I had a space where I could be honest about what was actually going on. The business clarity came from the inner clarity.

— Jonas M.  ·  [DUMMY]

SaaS Founder · Amsterdam

I raised my rates within two months. Not because of a strategy. Because something shifted in how I saw myself. That shift started here.

— Maria L.  ·  [DUMMY]

UX Designer · Barcelona

Something is ready to shift.

The next step
is inward.

You already know. Whether it shows up as burnout, invisible ceilings, or that quiet ache of performing success while feeling empty - the next step is not another strategy. It never was. It's YOU.
