About Cliff

I’m Cliff — a practitioner, guide, and lifelong traveller of the path — exploring the dance between body, energy, and consciousness.

Born in Belgium with Chinese roots, I’ve studied the workings of the body through both Western and Eastern lenses, yet my practice flows beyond any system, shaped by direct experience, intuition, guided by presence, energy, and the Tao.

My path has woven together:

• Western physiotherapy knowledge (movement, anatomy, rehabilitation)
• Eastern medicine practices (Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Cupping, Tuina, Bone setting)
• Energy work (Reiki, Qi Gong, intuitive healing)

Alongside this, my lifelong passion for martial arts (Kung Fu, Wu Shu & Fight Stunt Choreography) has deepened my understanding of the body’s intelligence — teaching me the philosophy behind movement and the art of expressing energy through form, from Wushu to stunt fighting. Through these disciplines, I’ve explored the living teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism, and how their wisdom applies to real life.

I’m continuously learning within communities that value self-development, Connection through recreation, diversity, tradition, and financial mastery, collaborating with like-minded souls across different realms — each connection expanding my path of growth, mastery, and service.

Alongside these tools, I’ve studied my own energetic profile in the past 2 decades, which gives me deeper awareness of my nature and how I connect with others. I share this openly so you can feel who I truly am — and know who you are meeting.

My Energetic Profile

Every person resonates with certain energies — and when those align, healing flows naturally. By sharing my energetic blueprint, you can sense whether my energy feels familiar or supportive for where you are now.

The Explorer & Integrator

In Human Design, I am a Manifesting Generator 1/3 — an energy type that learns through experience and shares from embodiment.
 What this means for you: when we work together, you’ll feel a dynamic, intuitive energy that helps you move past stagnation. I see patterns quickly, simplify what feels complex, and help you find your own natural rhythm again.
You’ll feel guided, not pushed — supported by someone who experiments, adapts, and walks beside you while you rediscover what works for your body and life.

Growth with Grounding

In BaZi, my chart is rooted in Wood and Earth elements.
 Wood represents creativity, growth, and expansion — the spark that inspires movement and renewal.
 Earth offers grounding, patience, and stability — the safety to unfold at your own pace.
Together, they bring a balance between gentle encouragement and solid support. When you’re with me, you can expect to feel both inspired to grow and safe to rest.

Connecting Worlds Within and Around You

In my Divine Template, I carry the Bridge-Builder archetype — the role of harmonising opposites: East and West, body and spirit, science and energy, strength and surrender.
If you’ve ever felt “in between worlds” — logical yet spiritual, sensitive yet driven, strong yet tired — this space was made for you. My energy helps you weave those parts together into wholeness instead of choosing one over the other.

You’ll likely experience me as

• Intuitively empathic — feeling what’s beneath your words and emotions.
• Flow-oriented — guiding not through force, but through rhythm, balance, and timing.
• Catalytic — creating a safe field where new doors open effortlessly, often beyond what you expected.

Together, these layers form the essence of how I work and who I am:
a bridge, a mirror, and a catalyst — helping you reconnect with your own wisdom, balance, and vitality.

If you feel a spark reading this, a calm recognition, a soft “yes” inside

Then it’s your intuition reminding you of where you belong.

My journey

My journey in becoming a practitioner all started as a young boy watching all these kung fu movies. All these energetic masters performing amazing movement skills made my jaws drop everytime in front of the television. But what impressed me the most was the master that always fixed pain and aches of warriors and common people. At that time I already knew when I grow up I'd learn to optimize the body with manipulations, applying ointment, qigong, movement and wisdom. At that age I somehow already understood that improving one’s own life energy, the body, mind and soul had to be strengthened together. As a kid I must say I’ve been devouring movies of Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan and all that showed kung fu.

It was a later stage in my life that seeing a lot of people in my family getting older and stacked with body pains that I decided to gain more knowledge helping them. Since then, my journey to achieve this “secret” wisdom has been a rollercoaster of adventures that opened my eyes. Medical school somehow didn’t resonate with my being, so after two years I switched to a master's degree in physical therapy. I knew already a lot about moving the human body, how educating patients and performing hands-on/hands-off treatment could optimize the healing process, but my hunger still remained with a lot of questions that kept unanswered. So after a few years of being inspired by a collegue practicing acupuncture, I took the step and took on a course for a postgraduate in traditional Chinese medicine education. That’s how my life got infused by western and eastern wisdom.

But it didn’t stop there. I also looked for new ways expressing the moving body. And I know I switched a lot in different sports, but looking back it was only a matter of searching for freedom exploring and experiencing the joy of moving. I went from gymnastics and swimming to soccer and running. From going to a local fitness all the way to crossfit. I also became a coach in Crossfit Antwerp where I got the privilege to hone my skills of coaching and guiding people to move better. I went down the martial arts world trying and testing all these different worlds from capoeira, thai box, kendo to wushu and lion dance what I’m still learning now.

In the last few years I have also indulged myself in spirituality. I learned life coaching, reiki, transcendental meditation, Qi Gong. The more you get to know yourself, the better you’ll be able to help others, that’s what I learned. Life is a journey discovering who you really are and what’s already there. Since understanding that principle I’ve been to countless coaching sessions (from equine therapy, to hypnotherapy, SRT, psychotherapy, energetic therapies, ...).

I am and always will stay an eternal student of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical movement, that’s my motto. The more I experience and learn, the more I feel everything is connected.

My origin story

The reason behind my firm beliefs all started around 2011. I was active, fearless and in the top of life until life threw a big lesson at me… A weak neck, a few accidents and an unresponsible high load of strength training volume caused my neck to suffer a serious herniation that required immediately surgery. 

Optimistic as I was, I told people not to worry, that I was fine, that I would recover on my own keeping myself strong in front of the world. But inside I felt broken, desperate, hopeless, alone, filled with weakness, self-pity and guilt.

I kept asking myself questions: 'Why? Why me? And what will happen? What about my future? My active life? My future jobs?'

The answer I got from medical experts was that my life from now on had to be careful, not too intense. I was told that it was best to consider giving up on specific sports, specific activities and even that it wasn’t sure if the prosthesis in my neck would last more than 10 years. For a young grown-up this was my turning point that I instilled so many limited beliefs on myself.

After 1 year there was still such a slow recovery. All I did was giving up. My motivation had never been so low. Even when the motivation rised up to a specific point, I would frequently have recurrent strains that freaked me out.

After that year, things started to change for me. I surrendered to the fact I would be able to do it all on my own. I delved into movement research, searching for mentors, coaches and people who could show me the way of a better healing practice. I opened myself up for possibilities and I learned a lot in those 2 years. I learned to trust in my body to trust in the process. I changed my approach and beliefs that movement would not hurt me again if I didn’t obsess myself with intensity, volume and goal setting. I learned to listen more to what my body had to tell me. Patience, faith and trust taught me to take more care for my body. Since 2013 I am painfree, haven’t had serious neck issues again and my body feels better than ever before.

I never blamed any medical expert. I only blame myself that I allowed these negative and limited beliefs to stick with me for such a long time. I could have done so much more in those years! But that time didn’t go wasted. it allowed me to OVERCOME and experience a TRANSFORMATION of a new belief. I’m a living example that the way you think and act can change the course of a story.

Vision

We have the right to OWN our own bodies. We have to trust the power of our own body. We are made to heal, to recover, to thrive and to experience life to the fullest. Pain can be more than just a physical wound. Your recurrent pain or pain that doesn’t recover optimally always has a reason. It’s a signal and message our body is telling us, but we haven’t listened to it 'yet'. 

My dream is to provide inspiration and knowledge to the people. I want to break through barriers: cultural, regional, religion, language, age by using an universal language: PAIN, LOVE, COMPASSION, CARING. Something I want to change is these fixed beliefs that pain only can be taken away by someone else. I want to inspire people to build healthy beliefs about their bodies and to regain the trust in their body's healing potential.
