NO FINS, NO LIMITS
1-Hour FREE Masterclass on the Art of No Fins
Hi! I’m Michaela
Freediving coach, athlete, and multiple Guinness WR Holder.
At the heart of my mission is a deep passion for freediving and a commitment to helping you unlock your potential in the water. Whether you're a surfer, ocean swimmer, beginner or an experienced freediver, I am here to guide you on your journey of self-discovery.
Freediving isn’t just a sport—it’s a transformative experience and a way of life. I've been freediving for over 16 years and for over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of DNF (Dynamic No Fins), a discipline that strips freediving down to its purest form: no fins, just your body, your mind and technique. After six months of specific preparation, I achieved my first Guinness World Record by completing 101 × 25 m DNF laps in one hour, spending over 42 minutes underwater in total. In 2025, I then led a team of nine elite freedivers to complete 98 km in 24 hours, equivalent to 3,918 × 25 m DNF laps!
Now, I’m here to share that knowledge and experience with you. Through personalised coaching, immersive trips, hands-on workshops, and a comprehensive online courses, I’ll teach you how to move with power, precision, and grace in the water.
Whether you want to learn new skills, reach your potential in competitions, or simply explore the beauty of freediving, this is your space to grow, thrive, and dive deeper. Let’s begin your journey today.

Freediving has taught me that goals are less about the destination and more about what you become in the process.

On 17 November 2023, I achieved something extraordinary: 101 × 25-metre underwater laps in less than one hour, using Dynamic No Fins (DNF)—also known as underwater breaststroke.
That’s 2,525 metres, with over 42 minutes spent holding my breath across those dives!
Two years later, on 23 November 2025, our team of nine freedivers completed a 24-hour relay, covering an incredible 98 kilometres underwater - using nothing but own own bodies. No fins!
Along the way, we raised over $10,000 for Rainbow Club!
WHY INVEST IN A COACH?
Progress begins with understanding yourself—how you move, how you think and what you bring into the water.
Your technique, your mindset and the demands of everyday life all shape your freediving. Your training should reflect that.
As your coach, I help you recognise habits that hold you back, move with greater ease and build trust in your own abilities. Together, we’ll work towards your goals with curiosity, patience and a respect for your body.
Awareness over ego. Technique over force. Efficiency over struggle.
Because how you feel along the way matters just as much as how far you go.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
For nearly two years, Michaela has been my freediving coach, creating a personalised weekly plan focused on core strength, CO2 endurance, technique, and flexibility for DNF and bifins. Before training with her, I spent hours in the pool without progress. Trusting her completely has transformed my journey, impacting every aspect of my life.
Highly recommended—don’t waste another minute of precious pool time!.
Bill Cotis, 1:1 Coaching Client
I didn't have much to say about her perfect technique and steely determination in the training tables!
William Trubridge
That was an amazing session this morning! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge, and I know this partnership will not only lead to increased swimming performance, but also to improved physical and mental health benefits for my team. You're amazing! :)
Paul Sharman, Head Coach NUSwim Swimming Club
It’s amazing how much you can get out of a one day course! Definitely will be lots more confident and calm during big hold downs from now on
I’d strongly recommend it for surfers of all levels who want the confidence and ability to push themselves in bigger waves. Plus it was a really fun day.
Tim Dickson, Manager - Slimes Boardstore
The Surf Survival course was the perfect introduction to understanding the power of breathing, getting the most out of every breath and staying calm for long periods under the water. It is a breath of fresh air for emerging ocean swimmers looking for real usable tips to reduce anxiety in the surf and develop skills to be more efficient under the water.
Andre Slade, Owner Ocean Fit
Michaela’s No Fins No Worries is the most comprehensive training program that I have experienced. Michaela provides the tips, tools and guidance to set your goals and achieve them whilst developing in a like minded community from around the globe. Much of the training can be related to other freediving disciplines as well. Highly recommended.
