Happiness Redesign & Fetters Coaching
Hey, i'm Michael and through a combination of the Buddhist Fetters & somatic practices, i've been able to reduce my suffering by ~90%. In case you prefer a different framing, geting to live at a 9/10 life satisfaction pretty constantly.
Since enjoying this higher baseline contentment and peace, the vision is to facilitate the same wellbeing through direct pointers and practices with those that resonate.
This transformation came, unexpectedly in many ways, after 10-15 years of anxiety, depression bouts, procrastinating, a sense of disconnection and rarely enjoying the now moment. In case its your jam, I can thoroughly relate to working in intense workplaces, start-ups, agencies, which amplify the mental challenges, and finding a path that worked to reliably increase wellbeing was nothing short of a bit of a miracle.
It's energizing to guide with this process and have supported 100+ individuals in what i call Happiness Redesign across wide demographics - 11 different countries & cultures, younger and older, parents, spiritual seekers, tech workers & artists.
The beauty of the approach lies in its accessibility, disregarding if you're new to contemplative practices or an advanced meditator.
Direct pointers work with everyday awareness and you can engage with it in whatever way serves you best - while taking some time off or even while going about your chores and responsibilities.
What this is not? It's not meditation in the usual sense, not sitting on a cushion, not counting your breath (unless you enjoy those). It's about Seeing.
Working Together
Here's why working together opens new possibilities:
● you'll be kept accountable and supported when seeming "good sounding reasons" pop up to say you shouldnt keep going
● you'll make much faster progress by being shown how to apply the general practices to your personal situations
● we'll address both the Self-inquiry aspect of the buddhist fetters and also choosing side practices for the cleaning up & growing up out of current conditioning
● we'll find out what opportunities for wellbeing you're shying away from by giving into fears or conditioning, which could be keeping you stuck, wasting months going in circles
(In case you prefer a DIY approach, materials to start with the 10 Fetters are available here. Create your own adventure!)

What folks say about their transformation
"Ever since I've started working with Michael, my progress on the path has catalyzed tremendously. His approach is straight forward and direct. His guidance is compassionate and humourous.
If you're looking to seriously reduce your suffering and drop perceptual filters, Michael is your guy. His no bull shit approach lends itself to practicing without getting lost in the spiritual sauce.
Michael's insight exercises and explanations of the fetters helped me advance with my other practices such as TWIM and Tantra as well."
Sheel P, USA (Tech Industry)
"I had very little meditation experience before and it was a breath of fresh air to do fetterwork with Michael's exercises + guidance. Although the path is simple, it’s easy to divert yourself and focus on irrelevant things.
This is why regularly talking with Michael and asking about things helped me break the first 3 fetters much faster.
He was attentive and kept me on the path where I could progress without much diversions, I would recommend working with him to anyone who is intent on doing Fetterwork."
D., Turkey (Tech Industry)
"Working with Michael has been nothing but a gift.
Truly, he brings a compassionate, generous, and loving sense of attention to his students. He was instrumental in helping me break fetters 1-7."
V., USA
