I had the privilege to follow an 8 weeks course with Max. I have to say that I finally found a method, a range of tools to start a real work on myself. I found the approach really therapeutic. Max is a wonderful facilitator, he explains things clearly and scientifically. And most of all he doesn't put any BS mysticism on this breathing work. So it's accessible to everyone with lungs!!!
The way the course is designed is a good mix of theory and practice. I highly recommend it specifically if you want to change paradigms and the narrative of your life.

Back in June 2020, a good friend of mine introduced me to Enactivate, at first, I was skeptical on the promise, but I gave it a try. Max explained the science behind his methods and I was able to follow the presentations and develop my own understanding. Practicing the techniques I soon started seeing improvements with the way I respond to stressful situations. I am more composed, calm and focused. I recommend anyone to give it a try, trust in your ability to evolve, grow and be a better version of you.

During the Covid lockdowns, I became depressed, which led to severe lower abdominal pain. Every difficult situation then became a huge ordeal and stress for me. One of my office colleagues introduced me to Enactivate. Max’s scientific explanation allowed me to see my situation and what I needed to change. I started practising diligently and I noticed consistent improvement in the way I respond to situations, I am calmer, focused and more energetic. I am so grateful to his program and I really encourage everyone to give Enactivate a try. You will see results within a few sessions. Thank you Max.

At Enactivate we offer courses and guided audio breathing exercises. Simple practical techniques and the science behind them, allowing you to tap into your nervous system, balancing your brain and body. You then have the brake and accelerator so that you can adjust your brain activity to suit the task in front of you.
When you are relaxing in the evening with friends and family, the daytime task solving brainwaves stop you from being fully present and enjoying that moment. We can show you how to hit the brakes, slowing your brainwaves down into a state of relaxation and recovery.
In just 5 minutes we can teach you to create an Alpha state of coherence in your brain and nervous system.
Benefits of the Alpha state:
○ Feel more calm and at ease
○ Access the creative areas of your brain
○ Make better decisions
○ Communicate more effectively
Enactivate Founder
Max Whittle
Born in the UK in 1976 Max studied Biological Sciences specializing in neurobiology at Oxford University. In his early 20s he moved to Japan where he spent 18 years studying Zen and various types of Eastern meditation. He started meditating regularly at age 15 and now 30 years later has clocked up over 30,000 hours in the practice of meditation and breathwork under various teachers.
Having experienced the pitfalls and shortcomings of meditation and spirituality, he went back to neurobiology and developed the Enactivate approach based on real world results and practicality.
Together with his wife and 10 year old son, they live in Wakayama prefecture. Fully bilingual, Max has written several books in Japanese, lecturing at conferences and universities all over the country. Graduates from the Enactivate program now teach and apply his methods in schools, clinics and companies all over Japan. He is now bringing the Enactivate courses into English and Spanish.
