About
About Tulum Tarzan
Tulum Tarzan is a personal transformation brand based in Tulum, Mexico, built around immersive retreats and a 90-day coaching and integration program.
It is founder-led. After getting sober in December 2023, I built the daily practices and integration work that pulled me out of twenty-plus years of escapism, then started handing that same structure to other men.
The name came from Tulum locals who started calling me Tarzan long before there was a business behind it. Every offering here exists to give people a real, lasting shift, not just a good week away.

An immersive week in the place that changed everything for me. Dates, group size and pricing are shared on a discovery call so we can make sure it is the right fit first.

- Available as a retreat add-on
Application only
90-Day Program
Ninety days of
actual structure.
One-on-one coaching built around daily discipline: what you eat, when you sleep, how you move, and what you do with the hour after you wake up. We track it together, every day, for three months.
- A custom action plan built around your life, not a template
- 30-day meal guide
- Shared daily and weekly checklist spreadsheet
- Private accountability group
- 24/7 access for questions
- Daily check-ins
Pricing is shared on a discovery call after you apply, not listed publicly. It is not for everyone, and that is the point.

I did not fix twenty years of escapism in a weekend. I fixed it by doing unglamorous things every morning until they stopped being a decision. Tap any one of these to see how.

Hi, I'm Stephen.
Tulum found me before I found it. On my third day here, after the ruins, the sea and tacos with a friend, something in my chest said: you're finally home. I started crying at the table. It looked like a vacation. It was a calling.
I was living in Northern California running a cannabis operation and making more money than I ever had. I closed that chapter and moved to Tulum at thirty-eight, somehow knowing my real life had not started.
December 17, 2023 became my sober date. The years since have been built out of integration work: routines and rituals that kept my head above water through a first year that was every bit as hard as people say it is. That is what I teach now.
"The ceremony is not the change. What you do the next ninety mornings is."

FAQ
Good things to know
Still have a question? Email or text and I will answer it myself.
No. Most men who come to me are somewhere in the middle: functioning, successful, and quietly exhausted by their own habits. Sober, sober-ish, or just done with autopilot are all fine starting points.
We build a custom action plan, then work it daily. You get a 30-day meal guide, a shared daily and weekly checklist, an accountability group, daily check-ins, and 24/7 access to me for questions.
Because it only works if you actually show up. The application and the discovery call are there so neither of us spends three months on something that was never the right fit.
Pricing is shared on the discovery call after you apply. It depends on what you need, and I would rather talk it through than have you decide from a number on a page.
In and around Tulum, Quintana Roo. Jungle, cenotes and the Caribbean, with a private chef experience available as an add-on. Dates and pricing come on a call.
Two short PDFs, $8.99 each. One is my natural energy protocol, the other is a plain-language beginner's guide to fasting. Both are practical and both come from my own routine.
