01Is this for you?
For founders and operators scaling on shifting ground
You are building something impactful, running a kickass team, and your product is gaining traction.
But things keep changing, and with every change, you feel it:
The pressure is not temporary anymore. It is the new baseline.
You are running on empty
You wake up tired. The decisions don't stop, and by evening there is nothing left for the people closest to you.
Your mind keeps looping
The imposter story. The replay at night. The hard conversation where you watch yourself do it anyway. You can name the pattern better than most people, and it still happens.
You can't let go of it
In the startup phase, you had to do everything yourself. Now scaling asks you to hand things over, and to accept a quality that isn't yours. So you rewrite it, take it back, or decide it's faster to do it yourself. And you keep holding it all together, for everyone.
What is possible
You make clear decisions when the ground keeps shifting
Not after the crisis passes or once you have enough information, but in the moment, with what you have, from a place of clarity, not fear. And your head is quiet by the time you get home. And you still have energy left at the end of the day.
You respond instead of react
The hard conversation happens early, at work before it becomes a crisis, at home before it becomes distance. When someone challenges you, you notice the freeze or the push-back and choose what to do. The loops stop running you. When one starts, you catch it early, before it takes over.
You become the steady presence the room needs
You ground your team, and you become an accelerator, not an obstacle. The team starts bringing you the hard things earlier, because there's finally somewhere safe to put them. And when you reach the people closest to you, you have something left to give. You're no longer the one holding it all together.
02Stories
I used to seek stimulus to avoid being with my thoughts: information, screens, and worse. I didn’t want to show my underlying sadness, because I didn’t want to push it onto other people.
Now I can open up to my team instead of performing certainty I don’t feel. I have more space to respond and not react, in the hard conversations at work and with my wife.
It all started with the breath.
Co-founder & Managing Director, energy scale-upI’ve always done the work on my own, but there are periods in life when you’re frozen or when stress piles up, and the old tools stop working.
After unlooping, I check in with my body before I start the day, and again when stress creeps up: is this something I can face right now? If not, I reset. It doubled my output. And I end the day satisfied, because what I achieved matches what I can bring.
Head of UX at a global consultancy, now a founderIntense meetings make me upset and reactive. I’ve been mastering various communication techniques, which are great frameworks, but not complete when this energy takes over me.
After unlooping, I can stay in the room when things get tense. I built a different relationship to my own anxiety, and that changed how I meet the anxiety of the people around me. In senior team meetings, I’m now the one who brings the temperature down, not the one who escalates it.

03The method
Why hasn't your inner work got you there?
Most of the work you've done in therapy, coaching or leadership training has been unlocking understanding in your thinking layer.
Understanding matters. But under pressure, deliberate thinking gets harder. So you see the loop, and it runs anyway.
Because part of your loop lives in your body: in your tensed muscles, your overloaded nervous system and the emotions you learned to hold back.
And in your relational patterns too.
Unloop works
Layer by layer
Map
the thinking layerWe map your loops with the WhoCards and you learn to read your body's signals, so you can catch a loop as it starts.
Unclench
the tension layerBreath, movement, sound and touch loosen what your body has been holding, so it can settle.
Feel
the emotional layerWith less holding, the emotions underneath come up: the fear, the sadness, the anger you've been managing. You feel them in your body, at your own pace, in a safe and compassionate space.
Relate
your inner capacityWhat went into holding is yours to use again. The meeting where you'd normally take over, you don't. You hand the thing over and it comes back better than you'd have done it. Your co-founder stops guessing what you want.
04The program
Your Unloop
Our upcoming spring Unloop starts on the 5th of January 2027, with 18 places across 5 intakes. Start below to secure your spot.
A 16-week program that includes:
One-on-one sessions
80 minutes each
The deep work. We use somatic and breath-based coaching to go deeper into those layers: your nervous system, your body, your emotions and the way you relate to others.
Video modules
45 minutes each
The background material to learn the evidence-based protocols and the knowledge needed for this kind of work.
Group masterminds
75 to 90 minutes · optional
Where we discuss the video modules, and where you meet people going through the same journey at the same time. Highly recommended: learning also happens in community.
About 20 minutes of practice a day, on top of roughly 2 hours a week.
Also included:
- A physical WhoCards deck to train human connectivity
- A Pulse Ring to break autopilot
- WhatsApp support between sessions
- Lifetime access to the materials
Pricing is shared on the call.
05How we work
The principles behind the work
Drop into your body first.
Under pressure, thinking gets harder. So we start where it's easiest to reach: the breath and the body.
Practice it in real life.
The real meeting, the real conversation, about 20 minutes a day.
We meet you where you are.
No forcing, no breakthrough to chase. We adapt to your own inner speed.
You're not carrying it alone.
One-on-one, and with others who carry the same weight.

Meet your instructor
Hey, I'm Tamás Hovanyecz
My work has always been about building what hadn't been built before: the first automated legal documentation system at Morgan Stanley, decentralized organizational structures in New Zealand, and Mindworks, the cognitive science lab based out of Greenpeace and Taiwan. In every one of these places, my analytical, systemic mind put me in the front row of some of the most innovative projects I could have worked on.
At 26, at the height of my career at Morgan Stanley, I suddenly lost my ex-partner. His death came just before a promotion to Hong Kong that I ended up turning down. Instead, I chose to get on a path of inner work while I was building projects alongside it. Through that inner work I gained more and more insight into what had happened to me, how I behave, and why. I still couldn't change it in practice. It affected how I showed up for myself, for my family and friends, and for the mission I was on: bringing more innovation to a world that badly needs it.
So I went looking for why insight alone doesn't help. I trained with Gabor Maté, Nicholas Janni and Patrick McKeown. Today I'm training in body-oriented psychotherapy in Budapest, and certifying in BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release (BBTRS®).
I test everything on myself first, and the best test I know is a highline: a rope hundreds of meters above the ground. There's no room for overthinking up there. You can't think your way across. You breathe, you feel your feet, and you stay with what's happening in your body. It's the same thing I ask of the people I work with, only with lower stakes.
Pressure is
the new baseline.
The question is how you meet it.
Option 1
Keep managing
You keep going as you are. Managing the pressure. Performing the steadiness. Holding it together for everyone else. It's working well enough, until it isn't.
Option 2
Unloop
You work on the layer where the loop actually lives: your body, your emotions, the way you relate to others. Not another tool added to an already stressed system.
07FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I've tried coaching and therapy before. How is this different?
Most coaching focuses on cognitive strategies or behavioral changes. Unloop works with your complete operating system (thoughts, emotions and body sensations) in real time. You're not just learning concepts: you practice in your real situations, one-on-one and with others facing the same challenges.
Is this therapy?
No. Unloop is coaching, not medical treatment, and it doesn't replace therapy. It's for people who've done some inner work and are ready to work with the body. If something needs clinical care, we'll talk about it on the first call.
What if strong emotions come up?
It will happen, and it's part of the work we do together. You set the pace, and we adapt to your inner speed. You'll be held in a safe and compassionate space by someone who has done the work, and who is still doing it.
I don't have time for another program.
That's exactly why many high performers stay stuck. The time you spend overthinking decisions, replaying conversations and managing internal chaos far exceeds the roughly 2 hours a week, plus about 20 minutes of daily practice, that this takes. It gives time back by teaching you to respond rather than react.
What if I can't attend a session?
The masterminds are optional, though highly recommended: learning also happens in community. They're all recorded, so you can catch up. Your one-on-ones are scheduled individually, and you can reschedule one up to 24 hours before the session.
What if this doesn't work for my specific situation?
Every founder's challenges look different on the surface, but the underlying patterns are remarkably similar. The practices apply whether you're dealing with difficult investors, team conflicts or a major strategic decision. The first call is how we see whether it's a fit.
Do I need experience with breathwork or somatic work?
No. We start with the basics and you learn the practices as we go.
What does it cost?
We talk about the investment after the first call, once we know it's a fit.
