John Machiels 

Coaching & Photography

Hi, 

My name is John. Although I live a quite good life, working in the financial business, having two beautiful children, many friends, plenty of hobbies, I still had the feeling something was missing or not clear to me.

As a passionate rock climber and photographer in my free time, I've been looking for answers in these activities. Climbing has always given me loads of satisfaction and challenge. It also helped shaping my view of the world.

Conquering a steep rock can be compared to living a challenging existence where you have to make important decisions and take risks. Photographing stands for taking your time and slowing down to take a good look around you. To observe and find the right point of view, reframe if necessary and ultimately enjoy what you see and experience.

But some life changing experiences due to a painful breakup made me go radically deeper in to the search of who I really am and what my purpose is in this world. With the help of a coach, many books and several retreats, I now come close to an answer.

My mission is to help you.

Help you in finding your point of view so that you can continue climbing your life path. Especially if you may need to reposition yourself a bit in order to be able to move forward with confidence in your own abilities. 

Helping you making beautiful memories as your dedicated photographer. Because it's what I love to do.

And helping other men finding their power to step into their pure and positive masculine energy by organising males only circles, the Wolf Gatherings, on a regularly base.

The above mentioned vision is also my guideline in my main job as mortgage loans specialist. With a holistic and slowing down technique I help and coach customers take a good look at their financial situation and how to make decisions in which they feel secure when buying property.
