Born and raised in Sweden to a Swedish mother and Cape Verdean father, Coach Sebastian began an remarkable journey of personal and professional growth.

Growing up, he faced challenges that would test his resilience. Encounters with neo-nazis and racism shaped his early years, instilling a deep commitment to promoting inclusivity and well-being in all areas of life.

Coach Sebastian's path to becoming a thought leader in the realms of mental and physical health started with martial arts, instilling discipline from a young age.
At 17, he discovered a passion for dance, which became a transformative force in his life.

His journey led him far from Sweden at the age of 19, and he hasn't looked back since. Living in six different countries and communicating in five languages, he has explored the world and shared his expertise on numerous global stages (30 countries as of 2023)

As an international and professional dancer for 14 years, Coach Sebastian has been on several world tours, both as a performer and a coach. His commitment to holistic health and well-being led to the creation of the world's first Afro-Latin dance festivals focused on mental and physical health, "Be Fit and Sensual," with over 400 attendees each year. Fueled by personal experiences, Coach Sebastian developed his own functional training method for dancers, called "Dance Specific Training." ( www.dancespecifictraining.com )

He battled and overcame panic attacks and anxiety more than a decade ago, turning his mental health around through a holistic approach.

His mental health journey brought him to the Norwegian School of Sport Science, and later, to Cape Verde, where he connected with his roots and dedicated himself to philanthropic endeavors. Coach Sebastian founded "FIT.CV," Cape Verde's leading online fitness movement, improving the mental and physical health of Cape Verdeans both on the island and in the diaspora.He mentored over 20 “English teacher” students in online entrepreneurship, created the "Young Wolfs Society" to support young men from Cape Verde, and took the TEDx stage as a speaker on "Vision Zero Suicides."
