That path lasted 6 weeks into my first accounting course, when my soul said “I'm here to do something with my life… and this isn't it!” 

I listened and transferred to the college I'd dreamed of but had been steered away from. 

A scary step off the safe ‘right’ path? Hell yes. 

Necessary? Absolutely.

After becoming an architect/ecological designer (and doing my best to save the planet one eco-project at a time) I eventually hit another turning point. 

You know the feeling: life is good on paper but hollow on the inside. 

I was active, busy, and my life was full. Growing my career, juggling opportunities and expectations, chasing “success," but my soul was still saying “This isn’t it, keep looking…”

As I turned 40, my mother died of cancer and the wheels came off my life. I got very depressed and had to face things I’d ‘managed’ (ie ignored) for decades.

You see, on the surface, I had a privileged life, a busy career, and many of the goodies that came with it… but underneath lay a tangled maze of family patterns, traumas, and buried secrets. 

Like many of my clients, my inheritance was challenging and filled with both privilege and family secrets.

It was being molested by my grandfather in childhood and in adolescence I was shipped off to be bullied relentlessly at boarding school. Behind closed doors, family life was a minefield. My father had an explosive temper from World War 2 PTSD. My mother wrestled with anxiety, depression and alcohol abuse - a lovely inheritance from her unstable, mentally ill mother.

What seemed ‘normal’ to me was far from it—and it took many years of therapy to resolve the depression and other issues. Along the way, I became a psychotherapist to help others in the ways I had been helped. 

But, as 50 approached, two more things popped up.

One. I saw how I’d spent my life trying to live up to family and cultural expectations and be true to myself—and I was failing at both. 

Two. A repetitive, destructive pattern I thought I’d resolved in therapy reared its ugly head again. There was ‘something deeper’ going on. The years of therapy had helped, but the psychological stuff alone wasn’t enough (which is true with many of my clients).

Discovering shamanism—humanity's oldest form of healing and wisdom seeking—was the ’something deeper’ I was seeking. This new path offered me an inner peace, focus, and purpose that I never knew was possible, and it finally put my life on a whole new track.

That's when I committed 100% to my spiritual path… and to helping my clients reconnect with their energy, spirit, and light using the tools and insights of the shamanic path. 

Since 2011, I've combined my experience as a therapist and shaman as a unique kind of executive coach. I’ve guided nearly 200 executives in that time—men and women in the high-stakes worlds of banking, IT, research, law and more—to follow their path to soul-deep power and purpose.

All this experience boils down to one divine truth: your soul knows the way. Let's uncover it.

Now, if you've read this far, chances are you're wrestling with questions of your own. You've got this far in your career, but something's missing. You're searching for more—more authenticity, more purpose, more life.

If that’s true, let’s explore these questions together, and help you reconnect with your truest self. 

Come as you are; leave as the person you were meant to be.

So, are you in or are you out?

Be light-hearted,
