Hey, I’m Mike.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), men’s work facilitator, and teacher.
And I train men how to develop self-regulation techniques, strengthen their mind-body connection, build healthy relationships, and regain vitality.
There’s a lot of pressure for us men to perform, provide, and protect — but there’s also pressure to be emotionally available and present. Without the right tools, strategies, and somatic practices, many of us are left feeling alone, helpless, and not enough.
Maybe you can relate.
But this doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Men who attend SHIFT Men’s Retreat leave feeling renewed — like stepping out of heavy armor they've worn for years, finally free to move with ease. It’s like learning to ride the perfect wave after a lifetime of wiping out — that moment when everything clicks, and you're carried effortlessly. The transformation isn’t just in your mind; you’ll feel it deep in your bones, like coming home to yourself after being lost for so long.
How? Keep reading.
The SHIFT You’ll Experience
This isn’t an Ordinary Men’s Wellness Retreat
From my 19 years of experience creating, teaching, and facilitating men’s personal development retreats and somatic coaching workshops, I’ve produced an exclusive men’s trauma healing retreat tactfully designed to help you transform. This retreat is only for men serious about personal growth, emotional resilience, and healing trauma through somatic experiencing, connection, and play.
If that excites you, keep reading.
5 Reality-Checks SHIFT Participants Experience:
I’ve been doing personal development work but I’ve hit a block.
This happens, and it’s normal. It’s frustrating when things that worked before stop serving us. But with the right tools, like somatic coaching for men, you can break through this lull and start to see progress again.
I don’t care about status anymore. I crave depth and connection.
Status can only take you so far. True fulfillment comes from deep, meaningful connections with yourself and others. At SHIFT, we emphasize emotional intelligence coaching and somatic tools to help you cultivate these connections.
I need a guys weekend without drugs, alcohol, or partying.
SHIFT Men’s Retreat is a men’s wellness retreat without distractions like drugs or alcohol. It’s a space to reset, reconnect, and cultivate meaningful growth through somatic work, movement, and community.
I’ve done all the things, but I don’t feel different.
Maybe you’ve tried talk therapy, plant medicine, or read all the books, but you still don’t feel like you’ve achieved lasting change. SHIFT Men’s Retreat provides somatic movement therapy and emotional healing that creates deep, lasting transformation.
I have financial success, but something is still missing.
You’ve checked off all the boxes, but there’s a part of you that still feels empty. At SHIFT, we’ll work to identify what’s missing, using your somatic experience to reconnect you with your sense of purpose.
If You’re Ready to go From Surviving to Thriving, SHIFT is the right experience for you.

My Story
“Every buried seed must succumb to a darkness and pressure it cannot see before emerging into the light.”
I remember the darkest moments of my childhood. I felt alone, fragile, and numb. The traumas I experienced left me reactive and manic. Yet, I survived. Instinctually.
But survival wasn’t enough. In my early 20s, I realized I didn’t just want to survive; I wanted to thrive.
I embarked on a journey of somatic healing, attending retreats, working with therapists, practicing meditation, and learning from trauma experts. I discovered that personal growth for men isn’t linear — and it requires embracing discomfort, taking risks, and facing our shadows. The path from surviving to thriving takes resilience, tools like somatic experiencing, and the courage to look inward.
Because I invested into my healing, my marriage is healthy, I have deep, connected friendships, I feel healthy, and I love my career.
SHIFT is an amalgamation of years and years of experimenting, producing, learning, and optimizing programs I’ve created. A lot of what I do is built from a strong foundation of mentors and teachers that guided me in my personal and professional journey. It’s not lost on me that I get to do what I do because of them.

Absolutely! Travel can come with many unforeseen events, from delays to cancellations. Purchasing travel insurance helps ease the stress by ensuring that unexpected costs are covered.
We recommend considering 'Cancel for Any Reason' (CFAR) travel insurance, as it provides the broadest coverage for delays, interruptions, or cancellations.

Topia is an hour drive from the Los Cabos airport, an hour north of Cabo, and an hour southwest of La Paz.
There are direct flights to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) from most US cities, also mainland Mexico. The La Paz airport has direct flights from Mexico City, Guadalajara and Tijuana.
From the airport, you'll take a shuttle that we will organize for you to Topia Boutique Retreat Center.
