ABOUT THE BALANCED MAN
A SPACE FOR MEN TO AWAKEN, HEAL AND GROW
Our Mission
Our mission is to support men in reconnecting with their inner strength, emotional depth, and true purpose. Through retreats, coaching, and shared experiences, we create safe spaces where men can explore vulnerability, cultivate awareness, and develop genuine connection with themselves and others. The Balanced Man exists to help men embody balance — strong yet open, grounded yet free.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where men lead with both heart and integrity. We believe that when men live in alignment with their authentic selves, they inspire healthier relationships, families, and communities. The Balanced Man seeks to redefine modern masculinity by empowering men to show up fully — with courage, compassion, and clarity — and to create a lasting ripple of positive change in the world.

Zand & Christian
ZAND…
...I’m a training transpersonal psychology coach with over a decade in men’s work and personal development.
​
For many years, life looked good on paper — a well-paid job, a beautiful family, and years living around Africa — yet I lived with constant low-level anxiety, worry about money and approval, and work that didn’t truly satisfy me. In 2017, a simple question — “What makes you smile?” — stopped me in my tracks and changed everything.
​
I left a secure career without knowing what would come next and committed to deep personal development and inner work. Today, I do work I love, live largely free from anxiety, and experience a sense of freedom, joy, and presence I’d forgotten was possible.
​
Nature and my children are my greatest teachers. I believe every man can live with a bias toward positivity, and I’m driven to support men to rediscover clarity, purpose, and aliveness.
