A bespoke container. Built entirely around you.
What this is
For the person who knows something needs to change — but hasn't found the container for it yet.
This is not a coaching program with modules and frameworks. It is a bespoke container built entirely around you: what you're carrying, what you're moving through, and what's trying to emerge.
The work focuses on vision creation, life integration, major transitions, and realigning your life from the head to the heart. Most people who come to it have already achieved what they set out to achieve. And something still doesn't fit. The work they built doesn't match who they've become. Or who they're becoming.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is often woven through the work. So is mentoring, extended conversation, and where appropriate, preparation for a vision quest. Whatever the person needs is what gets used. Nothing more.
The thread through it
Breathwork surfaces the inner voice. Coaching helps you trust it.
The body already knows what the mind has been debating for years. Conscious Connected Breathing cuts through the noise and brings that knowing to the surface: the quiet signal that gets buried under performance, obligation, and other people's expectations.
The coaching work is about what happens next. Learning to hear that signal clearly. Trusting it when it points somewhere your logic can't yet justify. And building a life that actually reflects who you are. Not who you've been trained to be.
"The biggest problem we solved together was a huge step change into who I am being at my core. I actually love myself now. I've never done that before."
Katy Green — CEO & Co-Founder, Centred Excellence
What people bring
It tends to arrive as one of these.
A business or career that works on paper but feels hollow from the inside. A significant life transition: relationship, health, loss, a decade ending. A vision for something new that has no clear path yet. The sense that you've been building from someone else's blueprint and you're ready to stop. A life that looks successful to everyone around you and exhausting to you.
No prior breathwork experience required. No course or program to complete first. You come as you are.
"I became not just a better coach, but a better human. A completely different man, husband, father, son, brother and friend because of the time I've spent with him."
Vaughan Paynter — Head Business Coach, The Expert Project
How it works
Three steps. No smoke. No mirrors.
Step one. The application. You'll see the container, the investment, and the philosophy behind it before you answer a single question. Then you'll sit with eighteen questions that are the first piece of real work. Set aside two hours. Come back the next day. How deep you're willing to go will tell both of us what we need to know.
Step two. The Seeing You call. Once I've read your application, if what you've shared lands for me and I believe I can be useful, I'll invite you to book a one-hour call. It's free. It's not a sales call. I'll spend the hour with you offering a genuine coaching experience. The work itself, not a conversation about the work.
Step three. You decide. By the end of the call, both of us will know whether this is the right container for you. If it is, you commit. If it's not, you walk away having had an hour that mattered. Either way, no follow-up sales email. No scarcity. No pressure.
Max works with five people per year. Currently two spots are available.
"The objective isn't for you to say yes to me. The objective is for you to say yes to you."
What this costs and why
Paid in full. No instalments. No refunds. No guarantees.
Three months: $13,000 AUD
Six months: $19,000 AUD
The container is paid in full at the start because the work doesn't have an opt out. What you get is all of it. The good stuff. The frustration. The parts that feel like they're cracking you open. The triggers. The beauty in the uncertainty. None of it is a detour. All of it is the material we work with.
Instalments and refunds imply there's a version of this where you can step out when it gets hard. There isn't. If it gets hard, that's where the work is.
I won't tell you where you'll be in three or six months because I don't know. I won't tell you what'll come up because you don't know either. What I can tell you is this. I'll be with you. I'll go where you go. The version of you on the other side won't be the one who started.
If the money is a bridge too far, better to know now than after the application. That's why the numbers are here, before you fill anything in.
From the people who did the work
What shifts when the right container holds you.
"It blows my mind that I've spent a lifetime looking for something that was right there inside me. With your help, I removed my blind spots and let go of what was taking up space. The result? Pure admiration for the woman looking back at me."
Katy Green — CEO & Co-Founder, Centred Excellence
"I wanted a flourishing business and life. But who I was was a sales dog. I was constantly chasing and not closing. Max helped me realise this, and ever since that day it has become my creed, my way of being."
Nikhil Kumar — Founder, Bulletproof Teams
"I'll forever be grateful for what you've helped me find. I'd thought I needed to find something new, but it was actually an act of letting go of old stuff that opened me up to a love like I've never known before."
Tess Milton — Founder, UnearthHER
"I became not just a better coach, but a better human. I learned what it is to coach in a powerful way. I'm a completely different man, husband, father, son, brother and friend because of the time I've spent with him."
Vaughan Paynter — Head Business Coach, The Expert Project
"He's the uncomfortable kind of coach that calls you out on your shit and doesn't let you make bullshit excuses to yourself."
Amy Wallin — CEO, LinkedVA
Before you reach out
A few things worth knowing.
This work asks something of you. Not a particular level of experience or achievement, but a genuine willingness to look honestly at what's running underneath. Max is direct. The work goes to where the actual problem is, which is rarely where it first appears.
If that sounds like what you've been looking for, the application is where it begins.
