Born in Lyon, France, Maxime earned a Master of Science in Integrative Biology & Physiology from the Sorbonne in Paris and conducted clinical research on cardiovascular health at Cochin Hospital. This scientific foundation is not a footnote. It is the bedrock. Every protocol, every assessment, every coaching decision he makes today is anchored in the rigour of someone who has studied the human body at its most fundamental level.

But understanding was never enough.

During these same years, two parallel practices quietly reshaped everything. Through inner martial arts and meditation, he discovered that true understanding does not narrow. It flows between disciplines, between body and mind, between the seen and the unseen.

Driven by the need to embody what he studied, Maxime left the laboratory and crossed the globe: Australia, Germany, New Zealand. Immersing himself in elite coaching environments, rapidly becoming a top-performing trainer. Known for his energy, leadership, and ability to create deep trust, he was recognized early as both a high-level performer and a catalyst for others' transformation.

Yet performance, in isolation, revealed its limits.

This realisation led him further, where he dedicated years to yogic sciences, meditation, naturopathy, cellular detoxification and fasting, as well as neuro-linguistic programming. There, he expanded his lens beyond physiology into the domains of energy, emotion, and consciousness. He learned to read the nervous system not as data, but as a living intelligence, one that carries the psychological friction, the emotional weight, and the energetic debt that no wearable will ever quantify.

This is the layer most high-performance practitioners ignore.
Maxime built an entire discipline around it.

Today, based in Geneva, Maxime operates as an independent performance architect, working with executives, entrepreneurs, and modern athletes. His methodology bridges advanced sports science (VO₂max testing, strength diagnostics, structural assessment) with deeper frameworks of nervous system regulation, mental clarity, and sustainable high performance.

He co-founded Manakin Digital, exploring how sustainability enhances business value, and created MANA³: a coherence system that fuses elite in-person coaching with continuous physiological intelligence.
