Direct Guidance · One-to-one

A steady companion for whatever road you’re on.

Some people come to me in the middle of something enormous. Some want focused, personal guidance for a big decision or a new chapter. And some just want a consistent person to reflect with as life unfolds. There’s room for all of that here.

See What’s Included

For life’s most significant shifts

Someone in it with you, start to finish.

Together we’ll sketch a map of the terrain you’re in. Then, as we walk it, we’ll fill in what no satellite could show: the hidden springs, the switchbacks, the landmarks only you would notice.

My job is to help you hear what’s true for you, find out what you’re actually capable of, and take the next honest step. Who you become is up to you.

What’s included

Six sessions, plus support in between.

01

Six private sessions

Six 75-minute Zoom sessions, spaced however your situation needs. Usually they’re closer together at first, then further apart. We’ll finish within six months.

02

A path shaped around you

There’s a clear structure, but what we actually do depends on you. We might work with IFS, astrology, dreams, embodied practice, ecology, or just the practical decision in front of you.

03

The Ecosystem library

Full access to eight programs in the Ecosystem, our online community: Space, Time, Mind, and Dream Craft, plus Ayurveda, Vedic astrology, Inner Physics, and self-care.

04

Support between sessions

You’ll get transcripts and summaries of each session, written experiments, and a private notebook. Between sessions, you can reach me by text, email, or voice note, and I usually reply within a day.

A defined arc, personally navigated

From orientation to integration.

There’s a shape to it, but it’s not a formula.

  1. 01

    Orient

    We get the whole story and notice what’s already working for you.

  2. 02

    Map

    We name what’s driving this change and get clear on where you want to end up.

  3. 03

    Deepen

    We get to know the parts of you that are protecting, hurting, and trying to emerge.

  4. 04

    Experiment

    You try things in real life, with small, specific steps that stretch you without flattening you.

  5. 05

    Integrate

    We look back at what changed, what you gained, and what’s still a mystery.

Meet your guide

I know what it’s like to navigate uncharted territory.

My own seasons of dismantling have included letting go of relationships, homes, career plans, and the spiritual structures I’d relied on. What I find on the other side, each time, is an ever-deepening way of belonging to the living world, and a way of working that uses nature’s patterns to help people through change.

I’m still doing my own work, and I expect I always will be. What I bring is well-tested maps, a lot of training, curiosity, and the steadiness of someone who’s been lost more than once and keeps finding his way.

I’ll hold the lantern. You choose the path.
