Hi, I’m Martins Zalitis.
I’m a Daoist somatic coach. I teach tantra, help people with their mindsets, and work on their bodies.
I work with people who want to feel more connected to themselves, their lives, and the way they are moving through the world.
My approach is grounded, relational, and practical. We usually begin with conversation, perspective, and clarity, and then bring the body into the process when it becomes clear that insight alone is not enough.
I do not push people toward breakthroughs or try to force change.
I believe real change happens when someone feels safe enough to slow down, listen, and respond differently.
What we do together tends to feel supportive and uplifting, even when we are working with serious or deeply personal topics.
This work is not theoretical for me.
It is how I live my life. I have spent most of my life starting over in new relationships, career changes, and new environments. Each time, I had to learn how to adapt, pay attention, and stay present in situations that were unfamiliar and often uncomfortable.
Those experiences taught me how mindset, stress, intimacy, and the body interact under pressure long before I had language for it.
Over time, what I was living became the work I now share.
What “Daoist Somatic Coach” Means
I use the term Daoist Somatic Coach because it best describes how I work, even though it is not a standard title.
Daoist, in this context, means I focus on presence, balance, awareness, and consistency rather than effort, control, or pushing
through resistance. I am interested in how life actually works when you stop rushing and start paying attention to what is happening
in the present moment.
Somatic means the body is included in the process. We do not try to solve everything in the mind alone. We pay attention to how the body responds in real time, where tension shows up, how the nervous system reacts, and what changes when things slow down. I often say that our issues live in our tissues, because the body holds what has not been fully processed or felt.
Coaching means I work with you directly and we figure out what will work in practice. The goal is not insight for its own sake, but change you can apply in your life.
How I Work
Sessions usually begin with a conversation. We slow down, talk, and notice how you are arriving that day, both mentally and physically. There is no script and no preset plan.
As we talk, I am paying attention intuitively to where I can be most helpful in that moment. I make decisions based on what is in front of me, what your program is responding to, and what is most likely to create meaningful change in that session. We are here to make great changes.
From there, the session unfolds based on what is actually present. That may include conversation, breath, bodywork, sound, or quiet attention. The pace is intentional and the work is focused.
People often tell me they feel at ease quickly when working with me because I am fully present and engaged in the process. When someone feels seen, respected, and experiences real change in a session, their body often begins to respond differently on its own. That is where meaningful change starts.
Why I Do This
My dharma is to show people that, no matter what, life is beautiful.
No matter how chaotic or intense the world becomes, I am here to help people come back to their lives.
Most people are carrying a lot, and they are carrying it alone. They keep pushing, staying busy, and telling themselves everything is fine until the body forces a conversation through anxiety, tension, shutdown, numbness, addiction, or constantly being in their heads. Over time, the patterns get heavier.
If something feels locked in you right now, we don’t shame it or judge it. We stay with it, work with it, and keep going until it opens.
An Invitation
If something here resonates, the next step is a conversation.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to explore what you are experiencing and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
