Hi! It's Tarkan

Born in Berlin, I'm the son of second-generation Turkish immigrants and a mystic at heart.

I offer marketing & design services as well as health & performance coaching.

Tarkan Turan | C.H.E.K. Practitioner & Massage Therapist

During my shaky upbringing, I was frequently confronted with the limitations of my own body. For years, I lived with chronic pain, dysfunction, and a burning desire to understand what was wrong.

Over the years, I developed wide range of tools, techniques and a schooled eye to realign the body into harmony and flow. I learned from the pain-teacher and took the acquired skills & tools with me—now helping people towards a happy and pain free life.

I've loved strength training since I was 14. Through it, I learned the nuances of treating the body with respect, instead of like a machine, while giving it enough challenge to grow holistically. That means not only growing muscles, but making my passive structures like the ligaments, tendons and the whole fascia net as resilient, hydrated and flexible as much, too.

Ten years later, at the age of 24, I started practicing jiu jitsu. This martial art taught me even more about respecting my body, pacing according to my energy levels, and flowing with training partners in a challenging, respectful and ultimately productive way. I learned to establish boundaries and to push others just enough for us both to learn effectively, leaving my ego outside the door.

My own journey of healing from chronic pain led me to the CHEK Institute, where I found the scientific, holistic framework that gave me the language and tools to formalize my practice.

The CHEK approach is rooted in Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology , which recognizes that the body is a working unity, as well as a complex system, not a collection of isolated parts. We learned to treat the body from the inside out, addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than just the symptoms.

  • Holistic Health Coaching: I consider all aspects of your lifestyle—from nutrition and sleep to stress management and emotional well-being—to create a truly integrated path to health.

  • Scientific Strength and Conditioning:
    We use principles of kinesiology and biomechanics to develop a plan that strengthens and makes your body more resilient, while minimizing the risk of injury.

  • Correction of Muscular Imbalances:
    We evaluate your posture and movement patterns to identify imbalances and correct them with targeted exercises, so you can move more freely and without pain.

  • Strengthening of the Inner Trunk and Back Musculature: Through scientifically-backed core conditioning, we not only improve your stability and strength but also lay the foundation for a healthy spine and enhanced overall performance.

  • Achieving Inner Unity and Coherence:
    By considering movement, diet, stress management, and sleep, we aim to improve the communication between your body and mind, helping you find inner balance and well-being.

The CHEK Institutes education has allowed me to combine my personal experience with a professional, scientifically-backed methodology.

I can confidently guide you on the path to a happy and pain-free life, just as I did for myself.

I also offer Marketing & Design Services

In my alter ego, I also do digital work.
As a brand consultant & marketing services provider with a bachelors degree in Industrial Design, I am a builder of frameworks that transform the complicated into the clear.

My expertise lies in crafting impactful campaigns, enhancing brand visibility, and driving business growth through clear communication in local as well as across international markets.

My work is deeply rooted in creating ease, balance, and authenticity. I help brands and individuals cut through the noise and clutter to uncover what truly matters: their message, their purpose, and their product. I connect dots and shape strategies that are profoundly human and natural, driven by a strong belief in the power of design – be it the design of humans, a product, a space, or a lifestyle.
