I’m Phillip Masashige.

Born in France and raised between two cultures, Japanese and French, I grew up navigating discipline, sensitivity, and unspoken expectations around masculinity. Like many men, I spent years looking outward for meaning, building a career in the tech world across London and Paris, while feeling increasingly disconnected from myself, from others, and from nature.

That disconnection became a turning point.

Alongside my professional life, I trained as a life coach and completed five years of therapeutic training, not to fix others, but to understand what truly creates change. Through this, and through time spent in stillness and nature, I came to recognise that real strength is quiet, embodied, and rooted within.

Grounded Men was created as a space for men who struggle to talk, yet want depth, clarity, and brotherhood. A place where silence is respected, presence is valued, and growth does not require performance.

You don’t need the right words to be here.
Just the willingness to arrive.
