Dear Reader,
As humans, we share a deep longing to live a life that has meaning and purpose. A life where we learn to honestly express who we truly are, and to love and be loved.
But the world often seems to have had other designs for us. What do you do when the long arc of day-to-day trials brings you to the edge of your map where the road ahead has not been drawn and the road behind you’ve travelled a hundred times?
This is the realm where the soul comes alive and it will take you to this edge however many times it takes – even over lifetimes – before you’re able and willing to leap. The soul is persistent but very patient.
You’ve been here before — the edge – and you’re here once again. How will this time be different?
I call my work “soul companioning”. Because when the soul calls us to our edge, having a companion walk that edge with you makes all the difference. This is not the companionship of easy answers and empty platitudes but the companionship to help you hear, feel, and integrate the truth already present that soul calls forth .
I am in service to you as a healer but also as a “Soul Companion”. For me, companioning resonates as one who shows up with bread — nourishment rich with listening, compassion and insight necessary for journeying the edge so that healing may take root.
I am grateful to be walking the earth during this lifetime with you and look forward to joining you for the next part of your journey.
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 have already done deep work, perhaps with some level of success but something is missing. 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, so they can deftly and compassionately live the life their souls ask of them.
I often work with men, but not exclusively.
How Do I Help?
I help 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 their 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 their 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 stronger, more 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?
