Mau is dual national. From a Brazilian-Dutch background he grew-up with a colourful tapestry of culture, behaviour and adaptability. In addition, after living in London, the multicultural capital of the world, for nearly 20 years, he grew to develop diversity of thought and perspective. All of which he brings to his practice, with a curious and non-judgemental approach.

He is at his best when with his clients serving by creating a safe space where they can think and connect with what they really want, so that they find joy and success in their lives.

Mau holds a Diploma in Transformational Coaching through the Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by the International Coaching Federation and the Association for Coaching.

He now lives in The Netherlands.
