Stop right now. Can you feel it? A little bit of tension, lurking — in the body, in the mind. It's always there, more or less. We call it discomfort. We call it boredom, anxiety, fear, sadness, anger.
Dissolve isn't about trying to be happy, or trying to push the fear away, or intellectualising any of it. It's learning to look properly at our reaction — to the world, to ourselves, to the body — and forming a new habit of release.
You already know how to release. We all do. We just can't do it at will, we can't do it deeply or consistently. We just get confused — looking the wrong way, in the wrong direction. Dissolve gives you the tools to look properly. And as you look properly, it changes.
A few minutes with Andy & Kat.
Learn. Integrate. Continue independently.
"The whole idea is to teach you how to train …
so that you are not dependent on ceaseless lessons, a never ending workshop circuit and retreats — or trekking to the ends of the Earth in search of the Secret Form.
My whole modus operandi is to give you the tools you need, in the clearest and most accessible way.
You can train with me for a while, then take that newfound clarity, and train independently, with confidence.
Of course, I’ll always be here if you need to check in!" - Andy
You’re not learning a thousand different techniques. You learn the same simple cycle of release:
See · Know · Let Go · Enjoy
You can train it through postures, through movement, sitting still, or hands-on with another person. The mode changes. The practice does not. You practise the same thing until you can recognise it and use it in ordinary life.
Different places to practise. The same thing to learn.

As Featured In
The concept and method of Dissolve became clear to Andy Mack in 2012, about a year after meeting Thai meditation master Luang Phor Jumnien in Chiang Mai.
"Jumnien is the strongest illustration of the spiritual goal fulfilled that I have encountered — radiating deep and complete release and joy at all times. He is like a light bulb, or a sun. See, Know, Let Go, Enjoy — Dissolve is an expression of that."
Andy and his son Duran moved to Thailand in 2011. Years of residential training followed in the forest temples of Luang Phor Tong, Kruba Noi, Luang Phor Plien and Luang Phor Anan — each from a different strand of the Thai Buddhist tradition. The first meeting with Luang Phor Jumnien triggered eighteen months of no-thought. Dissolve was born about a year later.
Behind it sit twenty-one years of continuous practice. Nineteen of those were spent training under Adam Mizner of Heaven Man Earth Taiji, where Andy was one of Adam's two senior students and head instructor for HME Europe: meditation, qigong and the classical internal forms, ten to twelve hours a day, across Australia, Thailand and Europe. Underneath all of it, the work was always the mind.
In 2018 Andy moved to London, practising from Akasha Spa at Hotel Café Royal in Piccadilly. Today Dissolve is led by Kat and Andy together, from Brazil. Kat is a fully qualified practitioner who trains and practises with Andy every day.
They teach, treat and keep developing the work side by side: Dissolve, Alignment and Bonesetting, and the one practice underneath them all. The aim is simple. Give people what they need to practise for themselves.
I’m still walking around with an open heart and a smile on my face. Thank you. I’m still walking around with an open heart and a smile on my face. You helped me compress all the knowledge into an easy fundamental direct experience that I’ll carry with me all my life.
Andy explains the process clearly, step by step. I thought the course was great, and easy to follow. I’ve just completed the online Dissolve course. The platform is well laid out, and each video is easy to watch. Andy explains the process clearly, step by step. I thought the course was great, and easy to follow. I hope that Dissolve will help to deepen my acupuncture practice and support my taichi training. I’m excited to try it out on my friends and family.
I was taught what tension felt like, and then how to let it soften and dissolve. I really don’t know where to begin, what a kind, gentle soul. I had never heard of this form of treatment before, but I personally knew that I had not accepted and let go of a lot of pain in my life. My treatment was amazing — it was like an inner body journey of self discovery. I felt a very warm connection as the treatment began. I was taught what tension felt like, and then how to let it soften and dissolve. It was very interesting to feel the change of tension, which I didn’t know I had, leave my body. I quickly, with Andy’s help, began to recognise this feeling, and had fun with it. As Andy worked on my internal organs, it felt as if my body was not my own, it felt softer and lighter. I would whole heartedly recommend this treatment, as an inner healing. Andy teaches you the techniques so you can heal yourself. What an amazing and wonderful guy. Thank you Andy.
I’ve been three times to Dissolve and highly recommend this to everyone interested in deep release on all levels. I’ve been three times to Dissolve and highly recommend this to everyone who is interested in deep release on all levels, and finding stillness and freedom. I have seen and met many skilled therapists from all over the world and Andy is one of my favourites. He is giving you an invitation to let go of your tension, your holding on — and allowing you to free yourself from clinging to old stuff which is not needed anymore. His presence is warm, open and empty and makes it easy to heal, and meet the no mind — where you experience real freedom beyond body and mind. It is much more than treatment for releasing symptoms of pain and tension — this therapy is giving you the chance to heal the cause of the symptoms — the holding on. May many people get the chance to have this therapy and healing work with Andy. It is a blessing to meet you and see soon again. With deep respect for your healing work you are offering.
Dissolve is a candle of light and healing in a dark and stressful world. Dissolve is not only a candle of light and healing in a dark and stressful world. Through this profound, easy to follow online program, Andy Mack kindly offers the opportunity for each of us to dissolve habituated tensions, light our own candle of inner calm and joy, and then share that light with others. In my 30+ years in the field of healing and wellness, I’ve not come across anything like this which offers such a simple, potent antidote to stress.
The results of my first therapy session with you were instantaneous. Hi Andy, I don’t often feel compelled to write testimonials for professional services tendered, but I want to do so in your case because I would like to share my experience and spread the word. The results of my first therapy session with you were instantaneous. I had been suffering with bad neck and shoulder pain for a long time due to the fact that I work on my computer, sitting at my desk for 8–10 hours a day, 5–6 days a week. The pain had become so intense and distracting that my work results were noticeably suffering. The pain was no longer limited to when I was at my desk and it was even stopping me sleeping, which further affected my general mood and overall well-being. In short, I was feeling terrible, both physically and mentally. After one session with you the pain simply “dissolved,” and after following your simple instructions on how to regulate my energy and dissolve my pain and stress, I have had no reoccurrence of the aches and pains that have plagued me for years. I must also add that not only did my pain “dissolve,” but after my first and second sessions with you my energy levels rose to heights I had not felt in years, and my creativity and vitality rose along with it.
I’ve tried many therapies in my life, but Andy’s treatment is unique. I chose to try Dissolve because I have felt for some time that my body is becoming a hard and unyielding object. Although I am healthy and active, I was very stiff and blocked. I was hoping that the therapy would allow me to become more flexible. What I gained was so much more — a way of being that will allow me to have a more positive and effective life. For years I’ve been struggling with trying to let go of emotions and things that happened in the past. That’s the first thing I learned from Andy — to stop trying. As the time continued I learned how to let go and make space in my body. I realised how much time I waste replaying experiences when time and energy could be spent so much more constructively. I learned how to move past saying words and really feeling and meaning them. I’ve tried many therapies in my life, but Andy’s treatment is unique.
Eight months ago I met with Andy when he was in Milwaukee for a workshop — our work together has made a profound and lasting effect. I would like to express my appreciation for my Dissolve experience and the difference it has made for me. Eight months ago I met with Andy when he was in Milwaukee for a workshop. I’m so glad I did. Our work together has made a profound and lasting effect. My Dissolve session relieved me instantly from some long-lasting chronic body issues, but Andy also shared with me skills that I am able to use every day — to investigate and do a little dissolving on my own. It’s really made a huge difference for me, and I am truly grateful.
This was heavenly — Andy lit a way to another path of true relaxation, calmness and inner peace. This was heavenly. Andy lit a way to another path of true relaxation, calmness and awareness of achieving inner peace. I dropped so much tension in one session that I could have flown away, if Andy did not insist on carrying me. His calm and embracing aura has a rolling effect on everybody around him.
You know when they say let go and you go, but how? Andy teaches you how to do it. I had a one-on-one session with Andy late last year and it has chilled me out heaps. You know when they say — let go of your thoughts and problems, relax — and you go, but how? Andy teaches you how to do it. He helped me to experience what it feels like to dissolve tension throughout my body’s tissues, and with that I also learnt how I can melt tension in my mind.
Not only does the depth of Andy’s knowledge seem endless, he truly embodies his own teachings. Not only does the depth of Andy’s knowledge seem endless, he truly embodies his own teachings. This is something I look very sharply for in any teacher, I scan for any form of hypocrisy, which lights up like a neon light, be it concealed or all too obvious. Andy truly walks the walk, practices what he teaches.
Consider it preliminary reading — a taste of the method, and hopefully a reason to go deeper. Dissolve Your Monsters was written in a little café nestled within the city walls of Essaouira, Morocco.
