From a life of 'doing' in the world of advertising to a life of 'being' as a yoga, breathwork and meditation teacher, Michael now works on the integration of both.
He believes in the art of welldoing: Doing good work for the right reasons, without sacrificing your mental health and wellbeing.

As David Hieatt, co-founder The Do Lectures and Hiut Denim said:
His uniqueness is this.
“Teaching you how to breathe and find your focus is only one part of it. The second part is a system for productivity. Inspired by David Allen’s iconic ‘getting things done’ practice and then developed, hacked and honed over a decade for this busy world. When combined with Mindfulness this productivity system is the life-changer.
This world wants our attention. Constantly. Email is not going away. Social Media is not going away. The diary is not getting any less busy. So this system, when applied, is incredible. And it’s timely.
Bringing these two things together is where Michael has hit upon a huge need. And, I don’t know anyone else who does it. Mindfulness is a great practice. But this is Mindfulness Plus.”
