About the approach
My mission is to help people reconnect with their authentic voice so they can speak English — and live — with clarity, confidence, and presence.
How does this work?
Most people believe that becoming fluent in English is about learning more grammar and vocabulary.
At beginner and intermediate levels, that’s partly true.
But at B2 level and beyond, what holds people back is something else entirely:
fear, self-doubt, overthinking, and nervous-system tension.
You already know enough English to express yourself.
What you lack is the inner freedom to use it.
That’s where my work is different.
1. I work with your mind, not just your English
Language lives in the mind.
So instead of drilling isolated rules, we work with how your mind actually functions.
Through conversation, reflective questioning, and psychologically rich topics, we begin to:
soften rigid thinking
reduce performance anxiety
loosen perfectionism
increase cognitive flexibility
This creates neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt, form new patterns, and speak more freely.
The more flexible your mind becomes, the more fluent your English becomes.
2. You restore the “learning state” of a child
Children don’t learn languages by memorizing grammar.
They learn because their minds are:
curious
relaxed
unafraid of mistakes
open to experimentation
Adults lose this state because of judgment — from school, society, and from themselves.
My sessions are designed to bring you back into this natural learning mode, where speaking becomes easier, faster, and more spontaneous.
This is why people often experience sudden leaps in fluency after working with me — not because they learned more rules, but because their inner blocks dissolved.
3. I integrate structure with awareness
This is not “just conversation.”
Alongside this mindset and nervous-system work, I provide:
precise feedback on your language
vocabulary expansion
grammar clarification
pronunciation and rhythm training
The difference is that this technical input lands in a mind that is open and receptive, not tense and self-critical.
That’s when learning sticks.
Who am I?
My name is Max Friedstein. I’m an English teacher, meditation and breathwork practitioner, Reiki Master, and transformation coach — working at the intersection of language, consciousness, and nervous-system healing.
For more than seven years, I’ve worked as a coach and mentor supporting people through anxiety, self-doubt, identity shifts, and major life transitions. My work has always focused on helping people return to their natural clarity, confidence, and inner authority — not by forcing change, but by restoring presence.
Alongside this, I am a CELTA-certified English teacher and TEFL Level 5 certified, currently teaching within the Berlitz and Cambridge-aligned frameworks. I’ve spent the last year teaching students from all over the world — from beginners to advanced professionals — and I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: most people don’t struggle with English because they lack intelligence. They struggle because their nervous system goes into survival mode when they speak.
That’s where my background is different.
I am trained in meditation, breathwork, and Reiki, and I am a licensed consultant within The White Rabbit Reveals (TWRR) — a consciousness-based transformational system that works with awareness, emotional patterning, and perception. These tools allow me to work not just with words, but with the state of the person speaking them.
Before all of this, I was a professional dancer and artist, trained at NYU in dance and gender studies. That artistic background gave me a deep understanding of embodiment, expression, rhythm, and flow — all of which are essential for natural, fluent speech.
When you bring all of this together, you get a method of teaching English that doesn’t just train grammar — it trains the whole system that produces language.
I don’t just help people speak better English.
I help them feel safe, present, and confident enough to let their voice come through.
And when that happens, fluency becomes a by-product.
Who We Are
We’re a life coaching practice rooted in the belief that real change begins with clarity, self-awareness, and support. Our mission is to help individuals move beyond doubt, overwhelm, and uncertainty — and into lives that feel purposeful, confident, and aligned.
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, seeking deeper fulfillment, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself, our coaching process is designed to meet you where you are. Through honest conversations, proven tools, and compassionate guidance, we help you uncover your goals, shift your mindset, and take meaningful action.
We’re not here to tell you who to be — we’re here to walk beside you as you become the version of yourself you’ve always known was possible.
What I Do
I help adults become confident, natural English speakers by working with the whole person — not just their grammar.
Through conversation, reflection, nervous-system regulation, and precise language coaching, I help you move past fear, overthinking, and self-doubt so English becomes something you live, not something you perform. This isn’t about sounding perfect.
It’s about speaking from who you are.
Who I Am
I’m Max — a CELTA-certified English teacher, coach, meditation and breathwork practitioner, and Reiki Master with over seven years of experience supporting personal transformation.
I’ve worked with people across cultures and life stages, and I bring together language teaching, nervous-system awareness, and deep self-inquiry to create a learning space where you can feel safe, grounded, and fully expressed.
My Mission
Our mission is to help people reconnect with their natural voice — in English and in life.
By combining language learning with presence, awareness, and emotional safety, we create the conditions for real fluency to emerge: not just the ability to speak, but the ability to express yourself clearly, confidently, and truthfully. When you feel at home in yourself, language follows.
Testimonials
"In Max's sessions he balances the act of deep spiritual channeling with his capacity to remain grounded, present, and available for what his client is moving through. His insights in our consultation prompted a huge shift within my psyche and spirit that allowed me to break through some painful patterns and blocks that were keeping me from walking my dharmic path..."
Claire, Consulting Client
"I recently had an energy healing with Max after I needed support with something I felt stuck with. I have worked with Max several times over the years and each time I do I can feel the subtle (and not so subtle!) shifts within. Max’s understanding of energetics and his shamanic abilities are a refuge to me at times when I forget who I am..."
Iain, Consulting Client
“Max holds space beautifully...
and helped me see and unpack both my sun and shadow in a container of love, acceptance, and compassion. I didn’t know why I wanted to work with Max in this year long course–it just felt right on a deep level. I now see that the feeling was my soul’s yearning to be seen and heard without the constant judgment and narratives I adopted...”
