1:1 Coaching
Coached by a leader. Not a theorist.
Private six- and twelve-month programs for founders, executives and men ready to lead. We work on how you lead, how you love and who you are when no one is watching.
Programs are 6 to 12 month commitments. Details after the call.
Who this is for
You're not broken. You're done pretending.
You've hit a threshold. Maybe it came through heartbreak, burnout, numbness, or success that stopped meaning anything. However you got here, the mask is slipping and you can't fake it any more.
- The leader who is done chasing the next win.You've built it. Now you want to build from something real, not from the need to prove yourself.
- The strong one who has no one.Everyone leans on you. Your team, your family. You need a man who will hold you to account and hold you, both.
- The man whose relationship is on repeat.Same fights, same silence. You want more depth, more fire, more truth with the woman you love.
- The man who has gone flat.Not falling apart on the outside. Quietly numb on the inside.
- The man ready to rise.You know there's a gift in you and you haven't yet shared it with the world. You want to find your purpose and step into your power.
Good. This is where the real work begins.
Why me
I'm in the arena with you
I'm CEO of Temple Village, a land-based community being built in Bali. Investors, a team, deadlines and a vision bigger than one man. I know the pressure you carry because I carry it too.
Before that I was an international sales director with everything on paper and nothing inside. I walked away, faced it, and have spent the years since in psychology, somatic and tantric practice and men's work, guiding leaders, couples and men through the same descent.
- CEO of Temple Village, Bali
- BSc (Hons) Psychology · Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society
- Certified Holistic Counsellor (SIAF accredited)
- Founder of Rites of Passage
The approach
This isn't therapy. It's truth work.
Not a productivity hack. Not a spiritual bypass. We go to the roots: the unspoken contracts, the survival strategies, the hidden grief, the lies you've built your identity around.
We work through the body, through emotion and through the live edge of your relationships. We expand your capacity to hold intensity, and build a masculine container strong enough for the chaos of the world. We don't fix you. We reveal you.
What actually changes
- You stop performing and start living.You feel your body again, your boundaries, your hunger, your yes and your no.
- You lead from presence, not pressure.Clear, grounded and decisive in the room and at home.
- You hold more without breaking.More intensity in yourself, your partner, your business and the world. Still, present and contained, with your fire intact.
- You stop abandoning yourself.For anyone or anything. No more needing to be liked, validated or understood.
- You love and make love from truth.More depth, more honesty, more fire in your relationship.

In their words
Life before Steve. Life after.
Steve was amazing at helping me learn more about myself. He knew exactly when to listen, when to check me on my BS, and how to offer advice in a way I could understand. I think of my life now as life before Steve and life after Steve.
S.D.Start-up engineer & entrepreneurSteve created a space where I could finally drop my shame and guilt. His work helped me connect deeply with my masculine energy while opening my heart with compassion. Honest, disciplined, and deeply kind.
Alexander CottleFounder, Unmasked Man ProjectSteve Shiva is pure energy. He gives his all and doesn't stop until the work is done. He is fearless, committed, and deeply open. If you ask for his help, you won't be disappointed.

Three steps
Apply
A short application, about ten minutes. Be honest. It's the first step of the work.
Private call
If it's a fit, we speak. By the end of that call, you'll both know whether this is right.
Your program
You receive a proposal built around you, with the investment. Then we begin.
Questions
Before you apply
Is this therapy?
No. I'm psychology-trained, but this is coaching and truth work: body, emotion, relationships and leadership. If you need clinical care, I'll tell you, and point you to it.
Online or in person?
Most sessions are online, so you can work from anywhere. In-person sessions and intensives happen where location allows, including in Bali.
What does it cost?
The investment depends on the program and is shared on the private call, once we both know it's a fit.
Is it confidential?
Completely. What you bring stays between you and me.
I'm in a relationship. Can my partner join?
Yes. Sacred Partnership is the couples version of this work. See couples coaching.
What about sexuality?
It's part of the work when it's part of your life. For a dedicated focus, see Sexual Mastery.
