Meet Your High-Performance Coach
Martin H. StasTime to level up.
Hello, my friend.
I’m here to guide courageous souls — like you —toward a life of joy, connection, and purpose. My mission is simple: to help you turn your challenges into your greatest breakthroughs, empowering you to create a life and business you love.
My Story
Born in the Netherlands but raised across the globe, I’ve experienced the beauty and challenges of constant change. Moving every three years with my single mother taught me resilience, adaptability, and the value of connection.
My 20s were marked by deep struggles – trauma, existential despair, and a relentless search for answers. That search led me down a path of spiritual healing, shadow work, and shamanic journeys to Peru. It was through facing my darkness that I discovered my purpose: to guide others out of suffering and into a thriving, heart-centered life.
Now, I see every twist and turn in my life as sacred – a gift that prepared me to help you transform your challenges into a source of strength, purpose, and abundance.

The Compass I live by
Truth above all
I’m here to live with radical honesty—with myself, with others, and with life. I don’t believe in pretending things are fine when they’re not. I believe in meeting what’s real, facing it with courage, and rising stronger. Always.
Live fully. Love deeply. Lead boldly.
Life is too short to live half-heartedly. I believe in living with intensity, loving with intention, and showing up like it matters—because it does. I value kindness, deep connection, and compassion. Always.
Growth is sacred
I’m obsessed with growth—not from a place of never being enough, but from a deep reverence for what we’re capable of. Evolution is my love language. I’m constantly refining, healing, learning, and becoming more of who I’m meant to be.
What Working With Me Is Like
This isn’t surface-level coaching.
This is deep, transformative work – designed to help you rise into who you really are, and create results that actually stick.
I coach with heart, integrity, and fire.
My approach blends science-backed strategy, grounded presence, and intuitive insight – meeting you exactly where you are and walking with you into what’s next.
I bring compassion, challenge, clarity, and joy to every session.
I’m here to hold a powerful space where you can be fully seen, heard, and supported – while also being lovingly pushed beyond your comfort zone.
