My Lived Experiences That May Help You:

I can be especially helpful and, where appropriate and desired, offer advice in each of the following areas:

  • Feeling like you are not doing enough for your community or the world;

  • Divorce;

  • Polyamory;

  • Coming out;

  • Parenting queer and trans kids;

  • Work-life "balance";

  • Finding or building a community as an adult;

  • Parsing your desires from those imposed on you by your environment and conditioning;

  • Bringing to life true desires and fantasies;

  • As a caver, diver, and world traveler, I can help you add more adventure to your life.

We spend too little time intentionally shaping our lives. There is no need to wait until we are faced with a crisis.

Change is best made in small and easy steps: "Take on difficulties while they are still easy, do great things while they are still small." (Chapter 63, Dao De Jing, Tr: Jonathan Star). Whether you are in a good place and therefore free to focus on small adjustments or have had a crisis that resets your life to a clean slate, I firmly believe that energy underlying this world fundamentally supports growth. Let me help you find your connection to that energy.

Life is a relational process and we are able to embody our truest selves when we are able to be present to it.

As a trauma- and somatically-informed life coach I bring powerful skills to scaffold your changes. As a Daoist priest I bring additional potent skills and am also myself the medicine that will give you the energy and space you may need to begin a process of self-transformation.

BUILDING FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS

We are relationships.  We relate to ourselves.  We relate to our physical and spiritual worlds.  We relate to our families, birth and created. We relate to our communities.  We relate to our friends, colleagues, and acquaintances.  We relate to our lovers.  We exist as the nexus of these relationships.

I offer multiple forms of relating that can help you with your other relationships.

As a coach, I can, however, help you think through and intentionally build your relationships.

As a Daoist priest, I can provide you with various religious healing services, help you improve your energy, and guide your cultivation of right relations.

As an educator, I can help you develop and follow a curriculum around various aspects of relating, including parenting, better romantic relationships, sex, sexuality, and bodies.  I can also help you build your relationship to your own body through various somatic modalities.

Be better.

CONFIDENTIALITY

I offer full confidentiality, including, where appropriate, the attorney-client privilege and the priest-penitent privileges. These mean that, absent an exception, I cannot be compelled to divulge your secrets, not even in court.
