My Approach
My coaching approach is grounded in deep self-awareness, embodied transformation, and purposeful action. I believe in creating a space where clients can connect with their true essence, uncover limiting beliefs, and engage in profound inner work that drives lasting change. Together, we explore the intersections of somatic awareness, identity work, and emotional intelligence, cultivating the ability to navigate challenges with clarity and resilience.
I use a blend of methodologies, including Internal Family Systems, somatic practices, and intuitive inquiry, to help clients connect to the wisdom of their body and bring the unconscious into conscious awareness. My role is to guide you in building an authentic connection to yourself—not through force or discipline, but through devotion to your own journey. I believe that real transformation is born from embracing stillness, creating resonance, and taking intentional steps aligned with your deepest values.
My clients are high achievers—leaders, creators, and visionaries—seeking not just external success, but internal fulfillment. I help them move from heady thinking to embodied presence, from being driven by fear to leading with vision, and from feeling isolated to experiencing deep, meaningful connection. By cultivating a deeper understanding of your inner landscape, you will develop the capacity to live with greater authenticity, purpose, and impact.
About John
I am a coach, speaker, and thought leader dedicated to helping CEOs and business leaders achieve deep, sustainable transformation. With 15 years of experience in coaching, somatic work, and identity reconstruction, I guide leaders to break through internal barriers and reach new levels of strategic success and impactful leadership.
My journey began with 17 years as a massage therapist, where I developed a deep understanding of the body-mind connection. This foundation led me to executive coaching, where I blend somatic awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and parts work to help leaders access profound insights and drive lasting change.
I am passionate about fostering resilience, moving beyond discipline to devotion, and cultivating grounded, authentic leadership. My approach empowers business leaders to shift from reactivity to intentional action, from isolation to connected influence, unlocking their full potential to lead with clarity and purpose.
