MY JOURNEY
I was a typical Mr Nice guy that was well liked and had good friends, but I wasn’t having as much sex as I wanted and I definitely didn’t feel powerful around women.
My father died when I was only 11 years and it created a masculine wound. What I didn’t want to acknowledge was that I had shame and problems to be strong and a safe masculine partner for my partners. I learned later that this came from old sexual habits, experiences in my childhood, family patterns and social conditions.
I wanted to grow and tried to heal myself through doing personal development courses, therapy, and coaching educations. It helped, but I didn’t experience the quality of intimacy and presence that I was longing for. I felt that sex (now I know that it was the ejaculations) made me weaker and I was losing my energy while I was in a relationship. I felt the relationship was not worth it since I really wanted to grow. For many years, I ran away from opportunities for deeply committed relationships and focused more on studying different kinds of personal development and spirituality. I wasn’t ready to admit to myself that I was living a Puer (spiritual) life.
When a relationship ended, I understood that I had to do something about it and I was ready for Tantra. I went on an intense journey. I discovered so much more energy, became happier, the pain in my body and shame disappeared, and I lost weight. I learned how I could have sex that nurtured my energy and being on a daily basis and developed the presence needed to be in a long-term intimate relationship that supports my spiritual growth.

I learned how I could have sex that nurtured my energy and being on a daily basis and developed the presence needed to be in a long-term intimate relationship that supports my spiritual growth.
I took more than 50 tantra workshops over a period of 4,5 years in my tantra school. I become more confident around women and in my long-term relationship. And surprisingly, I started to earn more money at work too as people around me started to respect me more. I became more relaxed and happy with and within myself. I was then ready for the next step and I became a certified tantric bodyworker and began to give tantric massages to women, men and couples.
Still, life and tantra are so much more than sex. I chose to leave the tantra school in order to come back to my own heart and myself. It was too much focus on sex and it had some unhealthy power dynamics. I left my tantra school, many friends and I started to do Osho dynamics for 200 days to come back to myself. The morning practice started to develop into a the Wildman Workout that I am still doing daily. I went to Peru to study shamanism and cleanse myself even deeper. I got a deeper insight into myself and my patterns and found deep self love.
I took tantric workshops with a more gentle approach to tantra and intimacy, like the Wheel of Consent and Belly2Belly. I got a better understanding of how trauma can be created and how important it is to have a safe container in sessions/workshops and as a foundation for intimate relationships. I became a certified Integral Sexologist. I learned also emotional focused therapy tools for better understanding dynamics playing out in intimate relationships.
During my work of giving a tantric massage, I met a lot of men (and women) that needed more training and support to make bigger changes. Therefore, I developed The Wildman Program. Here, I share all my knowledge from tantra, coaching, shadow work, and the most potent tools and exercises I have learned over the last 20 years I have been on the spiritual journey.
I have made a challenging program which support men to have amazing sex and better intimate relationship. But it at the end of the day, it is all about self – love and self-acceptance and love for your closes ones that really matters. It gives me great joy to share my passion and knowledge from the fields of coaching, tantra and shamanism with you!
I am looking forward to hearing from you and get to know you better.
All the best,
Paal
