"I lead a team of 80 and rarely get to switch off. Two hours here felt like a reset for my nervous system. Slept 9 hours straight after."
"The tantra session was deeply safe, slow, and reverent. We co-created every step. I felt honored, not handled."
"This isn't spa fluff. It's profound energy work with real technique. I left regulated, lighter, and more present with my partner."
"Max responded on WhatsApp within 10 minutes. The tantra massage session in Ubud was transformative - finally released trauma I've carried for years."
"I've tried many therapists in Ubud. Max's tantra approach is different - it works through the body, not just the mind. My nervous system actually shifted."
"As a trauma survivor, I was nervous about tantra. Max created such a safe container. I finally feel at home in my body. Best decision I made in Bali."
"Professional tantra in Ubud is hard to find. Max is certified, trauma-informed, and genuinely skilled. The session was profound - unlike anything else in Bali."
"My partner and I did a couples tantra session while visiting Ubud. It deepened our connection in ways months of talk therapy couldn't. Highly recommend."

"I've experienced tantra in India, Thailand, and now Bali. Max's approach in Ubud is the most grounded and professional I've found. Real skill here."
"As someone with complex PTSD, I'm very careful about touch work. Max's trauma-informed approach made me feel completely safe. This is how tantra should be done."
"Found Max through a friend's recommendation while in Ubud. The tantra session released shoulder tension I've carried for 5 years. Incredible somatic work."
"Year-round availability in Ubud is rare for quality tantra practitioners. Max is consistently available, responsive, and maintains a professional standard."
"The breathwork alone was transformative. But combined with conscious touch, it was next-level. My nervous system needed this. Thank you, Ubud community treasure."
