Jacob helps men release physical tension, break free from mental loops, and develop lasting emotional resilience through Somatic Coaching and Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE). He guides men from living primarily in their heads to fully inhabiting their bodies, enabling them to:
As a former engineer turned embodiment practitioner, Jacob’s personal journey revealed a profound truth: the body holds the keys to healing and transformation.
Jacob’s transformative path began with a deep identity crisis, prompting him to leave his engineering career in Sydney, Australia. Although successful by conventional standards, he felt disconnected from himself—living mostly in his head, suppressing emotions, and sensing something significant was missing. His quest for fulfillment took him around the globe and inward, guided by the subtle yet profound wisdom of his body.
Recognizing the difference between society’s prescribed life and the authentic life meant to be lived, Jacob discovered embodiment practices as the essential bridge between these worlds. Exploring various movement and mindfulness modalities, he tapped into his body’s innate intelligence. Somatic work provided the transformative breakthrough, offering a clear language to listen to his body and facilitating genuine presence. It allowed him to integrate experiences directly rather than endlessly analyzing them mentally.
Jacob realized the core issue behind his struggles—a common experience among men—was the suppression and disconnection from the body’s natural responses. Today, he dedicates himself to helping others bridge that gap.
Jacob’s integrated approach combines Somatic Coaching with TRE, creating a comprehensive pathway toward embodied well-being:
Throughout his own journey, Jacob often felt isolated. Recognizing that true transformation happens in connection, not solitude, he provides a safe and supportive space for men to explore masculinity, cultivate embodied intelligence, and reconnect with purpose.
Jacob resides in the mountains of Central Portugal, where natural rhythms guide his daily routines and deepen his practice. Living attuned to seasonal cycles, he emphasizes the connection between personal health, environmental wellness, and collective well-being.
Fatherhood has been one of his greatest teachers, with his son exemplifying the body’s innate ability to express, regulate, and mature naturally. Each moment of attentive presence with his child offers profound insights into authentic living, surpassing formal study.
Believing that the body communicates with a deeper honesty than words, Jacob emphasizes that learning to listen to this communication is a lifelong endeavor.
Jacob invites men who feel stuck in repetitive mental patterns, burdened by physical tension, or overwhelmed by unresolved stress to experience how Somatic Coaching and TRE can reconnect them with their inherent wholeness.
