What I Do, The Elevator Version

It's like a spa for your mind. Sometimes it's like a gym.

I help people introspect. Bathe in the light of their own awareness. Build new mental muscles that improve their quality of life. I support people in applying their insights to living meaningful lives organized around their purpose and goals.

I work with individuals and groups on the phone, by Skype, or in person, either on site, or in my Portland, Oregon office.

In our meetings, I work with you in the modality of your choice, or a combination:
   1. Coaching
   2. Writing
   3. Meditation

My training for each modality is:
   1. Coach skills training course from Positive Acorn
   2. MA in Creative Writing from New York University
   3. 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training from the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy and 5000 Hour Certificate from Abhyasa Ashram School of Self Awareness

My Personal Mission Statement

My mission in life is to connect with people around what is the most meaningful to them, supporting them to explore and deepen their relationship to their values, meanings, insights, and life purpose.

--I will be honest and transparent about my training, internal as well as external life-experiences, strengths, as well as shortcomings to bring authenticity to my relationships.
--I will use my strength of perspective to reveal the inherent beauty and dignity of existence for myself and others.
--I will use my intuition to reveal and overcome obstacles that impede my and others' experience of connection and meaning in life.

The Description of My Book That I Could Write on a Business Card

This introspective workbook helps you observe and articulate your identifications with ideas, roles, things, emotions,  and other thoughts. It encourages you to ask, "Are these identifications who I REALLY am?" And it guides an inner exploration to substantiate the feeling that the answer to that question is NO.
