Experience BeNkd Coaching
Small Groups, Big Connection
Small groups are what makes the BeNkd experience work. All group activities are limited to 6 - 10 men. This is intentional and creates a relaxed, personal and supportive space where it's easier to settle in, easier to be honest and easier to form the kind of connections that actually mean something.
Each man also receives more personal attention and support throughout — whether that's in a physical session, a sharing circle, or simply over a meal.
A smaller group also means less pressure. Vulnerability feels more natural when you're not navigating a crowd.
BeNkd Coaching for Men Connection & Wellbeing Monthly Workshop
October 2026 | Limited to 6 men | Holborn, London
Step out of your head.
Back into your body.
Into real connection.
A half-day guided experience for men who want to feel more grounded, more at ease and more genuinely connected to themselves and to other men.
-
It’s not therapy.
-
It’s not about performance.
-
And it’s definitely not about being someone you’re not.
It's a safe, welcoming space where you can slow down, breathe and rediscover what it feels like to be fully present in your body and calmer in your mind.
Each workshop is a standalone experience, so you can join for one session or return as often as you like.
What You’ll Experience
The afternoon moves through six connected elements, each building on the last.
-
Grounded Arrival - Simple breath and body awareness to help you settle and feel at ease.
-
Authentic Men’s Circle - Honest, supported sharing without pressure or expectation.
-
Tantric Wellbeing Practices - Learning how to shift from thinking to feeling and from tension to ease.
-
Conscious Touch & Massage - Safe, guided exercises designed to build trust, awareness and embodied confidence. Participation is always optional.
-
Integration & reflection - Time to land your experience and leave feeling steady and clear.
This workshop is respectful, consensual and clothing optional.
Who This Is For
This workshop may be right for you if you:
-
Spend a lot of time in your head and want to feel more in your body
-
Want deeper connection without the posturing or competition
-
Are curious about Tantra in a grounded, wellbeing-focused way
-
Want to feel more at ease with touch, consent, and your own boundaries
-
Value personal growth in a small, supportive setting
You don't need any previous experience - just curiosity and a willingness to show up as you are. All who identify as men are warmly welcome, regardless of age, body type, experience level, or sexual orientation.
The only practical requirements are being able to sit comfortably on the floor and have both hands free to give and receive massage for up to 15 minutes.

Noon to 16.00 Saturday
The next one will be in October 2026.

"I've spoken to several people about it since and they no doubt think me a little 'woo woo' - the term me and my therapy peers use when we experience something a little on the outside of our realm of experience.
In all honesty, I found it profound. My initial discomfort was rooted in my fear of not being in control. The environment was safe. The steps were small and I felt as if I could give in to the experience, not be in charge all the time and accept connection with another human being for a mutually beneficial experience. I found I was able to accept pleasure freely. Thank you. It blew my mind."

“It’s been great working with you! Really can’t thank you enough, and I’m proud of myself for enjoying this period of focus on myself, my life and everything else it has entailed. I’m excited for my journey to continue” – Ross Milne, Runner
I live with Restless Leg Syndrome which makes it hard for me to relax and limits my sleep. Going to the first session I had some reservations about being naked but immediately felt comfortable. I realised that without clothes I was closer to my true self and able to openly discuss things that were having a negative hold on me. Martin guided me to think about my life in a more fulfilling way. After the first BeNkd treatment I knocked two minutes off my Park Run PB!

Men’s Health and Wellbeing 1:1
Stripping away taboos
From the moment you were born, you were perfect. Life has shaped who you are today and now it's time to shed the limits on your mind, body, and emotions. Break through taboos and barriers to improve your physical, mental, emotional and sexual wellbeing through the mind-body connection. Discover how incredible you and your life can be.

Take control of stress and anxiety, unlocking the path to being yourself - including when you are facing challenges like injury or illness. BeNkd Men's Health & Wellbeing is a journey of self-discovery with sessions tailored to your specific goals even if you don't know exactly what they are yet. It offers a safe non-judgemental space to be open and honest with yourself. Whether you’re striving to be your best, dealing with trauma, struggling with body image, lacking self-esteem, dealing with sexual performance issues, internet porn addiction, or simply needing to relax, this coaching can help. Being physically naked in sessions is optional. Many clients though find it both physically and emotionally liberating and empowering. Clients have reported a range of benefits, including reduced stress, deep relaxation, and improved physical and mental health. Many have experienced enhanced body confidence and increased self-esteem, along with better sexual well-being and performance. Clearer thinking, less addictive behaviour, and improved physical performance are also common outcomes. For those recovering from injuries or managing pain, sessions can also provide valuable support for healing and resilience.

Beyond traditional sports coaching.
Working together we’ll overcome the physical, mental, and emotional barriers and patterns that limit your performance, fix bad habits, and resolve blind spots to help you achieve your sporting goals. By stripping yourself bare (physically, emotionally or both), BeNkd Sports Coaching puts you in a safe space to be totally open and honest with yourself like never before. Creating a feeling of safety frees you to rewire your thought and behavioural patterns to get the most from your training and boost your sporting performance. Throughout the process, you’ll be heard, challenged, and supported in a judgment-free environment. BeNkd Men’s Sports Coaching is for those men motivated and committed to getting tangible improvements in sports performance whether a beginner, a professional, or anywhere in between. It’s for men seeking a fresh perspective on how to enhance their sporting ability, reduce and rehab injuries and be more relaxed using the mind and body for sustainable long term benefits when performing and in their daily lives. Being physically naked in sessions is entirely optional, though many clients find it both liberating and empowering, helping them feel more positive about their bodies and gain a deeper understanding of how they function. You can gradually work up to being naked over several sessions if that feels more comfortable for you. We will always go at your pace, with your explicit consent. These sessions are all about your comfort and your personal journey. You’ll gain practical tools and daily habits to maximise the results of your efforts, improve your sporting performance, and rehabilitate effectively. Expect improvements in power, strength, flexibility, speed, and mindset.

Men’s Tantra Wellbeing 1:1
The art of being rather than doing.
Tantra Wellbeing is not just a massage; it's a meditative experience emphasising the art of being rather than doing. It fosters deep mental and physical relaxation by unblocking physical, mental, and emotional energy, and revitalising your entire being. In this parasympathetic state, when the pressure is off, you have the space to think and feel differently. Tantra Wellbeing is a philosophy of connection - of the mind, body, and consciousness. It is about expansion, deep relaxation, connection and powerful energising. Many men are pleasantly surprised by the profound relaxation and heightened energy they experience. Tantra is often misunderstood as solely a sexual practice yet it offers so much more. This misconception arises because Tantra celebrates the joy of desire, which societies and cultures tend to suppress. Tantra Wellbeing provides a safe space for you to explore and discover, leading to meaningful transformations and realisations. Tantric Wellbeing sessions offer multiple benefits. Mentally, they help break free from incessant thoughts and restlessness, providing clarity and peace. Emotionally, they create a sense of balance, helping you feel more connected and centred within yourself. Physically, they rejuvenate and invigorate, leaving you with a powerful sense of vitality. Sessions use intentional touch that is slow, soft, caring, and fully present. This mindful touch promotes total embodiment and serves as a meditation, helping you melt away stress, stop overthinking, and feel connected, rooted, and centred. The goal is to achieve total surrender and presence in the moment, fostering a deep sense of letting go. Each session begins with an open dialogue to understand your deepest wishes and desires, ensuring a personalised experience tailored to your specific needs. This conversation includes discussing and respecting personal boundaries, making sure you feel safe, comfortable, and fully in control throughout the session. In sessions you'll be lying on a soft mattress on the floor, creating a grounding and serene environment that enhances the touch, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Tantra Wellbeing is a journey of profound connection and transformation with effects that continue beyond the sessions. Unsure if Men’s Tantra Wellbeing is right for you?

I struggled with hip and leg pain for my entire adult life. Conventional physiotherapy treatments only treated the symptoms and brought no long-lasting solution. Yoga was not working. I needed something different. Our psychology has a powerful effect on our minds and our bodies. Martin understands that. Working together to address my physical and mental barriers, I have seen massive transformations in my strength, mobility, energy-levels, but also my relationships. Today, I am back in the gym four times a week lifting more than I ever have. I owe Martin immensely!

Hello I’m Martin.
With over 30 years of experience coaching men and sportsmen, drawing on both Eastern and Western practices and my own journey of self-discovery, BeNkd Coaching was born. It's not just a coaching approach, it's a shift in how men approach personal growth, health and wellbeing. Websites aren't really my thing. What lights me up is people. My mission is helping men reconnect with their minds and bodies, and build positive change across every part of life — physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually. As a Mind and Body Coach, I believe that nurturing both mind and body is the key to unlocking your full potential. I'm also a firm believer in the benefits of being clothing optional for men's wellbeing, there's something grounding about it. If you’ve ever been skinny dipping you’ll have some idea of what I mean. With over 30 years of experience coaching men and sportsmen, drawing on both Eastern and Western practices and my own journey of self-discovery, BeNkd Coaching was born. It's not just a coaching approach, it's a shift in how men approach personal growth, health and wellbeing. Men come to me for many different reasons - navigating emotions, working out what they want, improving physical, mental or emotional wellbeing, working through trauma, addressing body concerns, health issues, or sexual performance. Every man's story is different, and I'm here for all of them. Whatever brings you here, the first step is acknowledging where you currently stand. That takes purpose and clarity and yes, it can feel daunting at first, especially if this is new to you. It gets easier with practice. Life isn't a constant joyride, and letting go of that expectation makes space to navigate its ups and downs. There are moments of ease and joy, and moments that are genuinely hard. I've been there myself, more than once. For a long time, my own struggles centred on my identity as a gay man, body image, and questioning my self-worth. Those challenges shaped my journey and I've studied, trained and worked across many disciplines, and met remarkable people along the way. This work continues to shape my own growth too. Life is a process, not a destination. Alongside client work, I share what I've learned about the mind-body connection through workshops, retreats, courses, podcasts, speaking engagements, magazine features and media appearances. I'm here to start a conversation and see if working together is a good fit. Life's too precious to waste anyone's time, and there's nothing to lose in exploring it. My personal mantra is simple: Enjoy the day you create. How about you? Ready to embrace the day you shape?
