Having experienced various traumas in his life, and overcoming them Mike made it his mission to combine his love of travelling Thailand, and the self-work he did there to share the gifts of our facilitators with the world and MTR was born. Specifically wanting to help men was a natural choice as they are his group and experience a lot of hardships regarding societal pressures including the fact that most western men don’t have anybody they can talk about issues affecting them from an emotional standpoint.

A certified counselor graduate from the Interchange Counseling Institute of San Francisco, Bernard has trained extensively in the powerful work of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and supported hundreds of couples, individuals, and organisations in overcoming challenging conflicts.

Jeremy is a writer, internet entrepreneur, and men’s circle facilitator. Originally from the U.S., he has lived in Southeast Asia since 2013.
In 2015, a severe chronic illness forced Jeremy into a journey of healing and self-exploration. Western doctors declared his condition incurable, but his gut told him otherwise.
Over the last decade, he has immersed himself in natural healing modalities and discovered ways to heal that modern medicine overlooks. This also brought him to the power of men's work. In 2021, he completed a Men’s Circle Facilitation Training with The Unmasked Man (UK). He now lives in Hoi An, Vietnam, where he hosts weekly men’s groups.
