1:1 Men's Coaching
For men who are carrying more than they admit and are ready to meet what’s underneath.
Private coaching for men who are functioning on the outside, but know something deeper is asking for attention.
You may be navigating a relationship, a professional transition, a spiritual threshold, old patterns with addiction or avoidance, questions around sexuality, discipline, purpose, or the quiet sense that the way you’ve been living is no longer enough.
This is not performance coaching. It is not advice disguised as depth. It is a steady 1:1 container built around honest conversation, nervous system regulaton, embodied awareness, direct reflection, and aligned action.
Hour-long sessions, weekly or biweekly, via Zoom or phone.
Six-week minimum. Billed monthly.

The men who do well in this work.
The men who get the most from coaching here are not usually in collapse. They are often capable, intelligent, self-aware, and successful by many external measures.
But underneath, something is asking to be faced.
It may show up as fatigue. Disconnection. Restlessness. Relationship tension. Lack of direction. Old coping patterns. A sense of being spiritually hungry but tired of vague answers. Or the feeling that no matter how much you understand yourself, something still is not changing. Something calling for more than effort and willpower alone.
This work is for men willing to slow down enough to listen and tell the truth.
Not perform. Not analyze endlessly. Not hide behind being “fine.”
Just bring what is actually present and work from there.
The work doesn't move at the pace of advice. It moves at the pace of presence and attention.
"I can’t recommend Michael enough! His transformative coaching approach goes far beyond mindset shifts, it creates real, embodied change."
- Jalin C.
As a man, I've found Michael to be exceptional in connecting with and understanding the masculine, but also he has a very deep appreciation of the feminine/masculine dynamic. He is a pleasure to be around, to benefit from his knowledge and insight, and to share time with.
- Allan F.
"Michael is one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met! He has an exceptional ability to show people the light within themselves."
- Chauncy H.
"Michael is a true gem of a human with so much knowledge and wisdom to offer that he happily shares with the world! He is an old soul that shines his light brightly wherever he goes..."
- Joseph G.
This is not about fixing you.
It's about removing what's in the way.
Most coaching starts with the assumption that something is missing. The premise here is different.
You are not a broken project. Everything you are looking for is already underneath the noise, the conditioning, the avoidance, and the protective patterns you built to survive.
The work is to see those patterns clearly, relate to them honestly, and begin acting from a deeper place.
Some sessions are quiet. Some are direct. Some are emotional. Some are practical. The thread is always the same: presence, truth, embodiment, and right action.
What we may work with.
Men seek this work for different reasons, but common themes include:
Relationship and intimacy
Purpose, direction, and discipline
Masculine embodiment
Porn, cannabis, alcohol, or avoidance patterns
Spiritual confusion or disconnection
Anger, grief, fear, shame, or self-doubt
Sexuality, confidence, and integrity
Major life transitions
Learning to trust yourself again
The work does not follow a rigid curriculum. It follows what is actually alive.
How it's structured.
This is not a sales pitch. It is a real conversation about what brought you here, what you are working with, and whether this container is the right fit for both of us.

Discovery call
This is not a sales pitch. It is a real conversation about what brought you here, what you are working with, and whether this container is the right fit for both of us.
30 minutes. Real conversation. No pitch. We see if the container fits both of us.
2
First session
One hour, via Zoom or phone.
We look at what is happening now, what you have already tried, where the pattern keeps repeating, and what kind of support would actually serve you.

Settle the rhythm
Weekly or biweekly. Six-week minimum. This gives the work enough time to build rhythm and trust. Average is 3–6 months, depending on what you are working through. Billed monthly. No long contract.
Sessions don't follow a curriculum. They follow what's actually present.
About Michael.
About Michael.
Michael Pupiales is a men’s coach, certified breathwork practitioner, and retreat facilitator based in Sedona, Arizona.
His work draws from years of meditation, breathwork, somatic practice, men’s work, recovery, spiritual inquiry, and one-on-one facilitation.
Michael’s coaching is grounded in the belief that men do not need to be shamed into change. They need a space strong enough for truth, honest enough to name the pattern, and steady enough to support real integration.
His work combines intuitive presence, direct reflection, embodied awareness, and practical action.
Investment.
The standard rate is $333 per hour.
Sessions are billed monthly based on your chosen rhythm: weekly or biweekly. The minimum commitment is six weeks. After that, we re-evaluate together.
What you are paying for is not just an hour of conversation.
You are investing in a consistent place to be seen clearly, challenged honestly, and supported as you turn insight into action.
The hour matters. But the rhythm is what compounds.
If you feel called to this work but are experiencing financial hardship, please reach out. Michael offers limited sliding-scale spots and is happy to discuss options that may work for you.

FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about Sanatya and our services.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or mental health treatment.
This work is best suited for men who are stable enough to engage in honest self-inquiry, take responsibility for their lives, and translate insight into action. If you are in acute crisis or need clinical support, therapy may be the more appropriate first step.
Is this only for men in crisis?
No. Most men I work with are functioning well externally.
They are often in transition, carrying fatigue, or sensing that something deeper needs attention. This work is less about crisis management and more about clarity, integration, and right action.
How long do clients usually stay?
The minimum commitment is six weeks.
Many clients continue for three to six months, depending on the depth of what they are working through and the rhythm that serves them.
Do you work with clients outside Sedona?
Yes. Sessions are available by Zoom or phone, so you can work with me from anywhere in the U.S. or internationally.
Are sessions available in Spanish?
Yes. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
How do you integrate breathwork into your coaching?
I integrate breathwork when it supports the coaching process, rather than as a formula or required practice.
Depending on what you are working with, we may use simple breathing practices to help regulate the nervous system, access emotion, clarify what is happening in the body, or support integration after a session. The focus is not on having a cathartic experience everytime, but on using the breath as a practical doorway into presence, honesty, and embodied change.
What happens after I apply?
After you apply, I review your application and respond within 48 hours.
If it seems like there may be a fit, we schedule a one hour discovery call. From there, we decide whether to begin the coaching container.
Start with a real conversation.
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
You only need enough willingness to tell the truth about where you are, what is no longer working, and what you are ready to face.
