Dear Reader,
I think as humans we all share the longing to be able to honestly express who we truly are, and to love and be loved. This is where meaning resides and it starts with listening. Our deepest longings call for us to listen — because when we listen, we nourish the soul.
I call my work companioning. The word companion speaks to me because it’s derived from Latin roots that can be translated as “with bread” which for me, implies the sharing of nourishment. For healing to take root, whether on the level of body, mind, heart, or soul, we first need nourishment.
I am in service as a healer. I could call myself a spiritual counselor, a nondual healing practitioner, or even, a deep listener. For me, companioning resonates as one who shows up with bread — nourishment rich with listening, compassion and insight so that healing may take root.
With Gratitude,
John
Soul doesn’t care at all about perfection or getting it right. It cares about participation.

Who Do I Work With?
My clients are people who find themselves ready to do the deep work their souls ask of them. Some find that they are at a crossroad in their lives, or that things are no longer working or serving them as they used to. Some arrive with relationships, career, or health in crisis or failing. All are in need of soulful companionship.
I often work with men and help my all my clients:
- Cultivate resilience and clarity to feel more available, effective, and grounded in daily life
- Learn to nurture and nourish their inner lives and personal relationships
- Embrace life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation
- Claim your own presence and vulnerability and the inner strength that spring from them
- Participate in life more fully connecting to purpose, meaning, and a deeper sense of belonging
- Recognize your role in community and the interdependence we share with others and the world around you
Are you ready?
- Are you tired of concealing your gifts or your suffering from others and perhaps even yourself?
- Do you want to be better at expressIng (or even knowing) your emotions in ways that create more intimacy and connection in your life?
- Are you at a crossroad or milestone in your life (relationship, marriage, divorce, career, parenthood, aging) where the uncertainty and overwhelm have you feeling lost and alone?
- Are you struggling with grief, loss, or in a phase of deepening and seeking support?
- Are you finding your typical modes of striving, relating, or problem solving are no longer working or providing the satisfaction they used to?
- Do you feel your personal and relational growth is being blocked by mental , emotional, or spiritual patterns or beliefs
- Are you desiring to create more strong, meaningful, and nourishing relationships in your life?
- Are you suffering from health issues that you feel have emotional or spiritual components that are impeding your body’s healing process?
Do you long to more fully know who you are and to live more authentically from that place in order to participate with more fullness, openness, and joy in the richness life has to offer?
