Shift a Pattern
What got you here
won't get you there.
You control everything. You overthink, avoid, or hide. You continue to prove your worth, self-optimize, or perfect everything you touch. These, or one of the other 12 survival patterns, have helped you create the life you have. But those same patterns may be keeping you from what you want now.
Together, we explore the survival patterns shaping your experience and create new ways to move forward.
Begin with the assessment (coming soon!).

Crossed a Threshold
Something about your
old life no longer fits.
You achieved your goal. You had a responsibility lift. You received an inheritance that changed everything. You walked away from a relationship, religion, or career. Whatever happened, your old identity and the rules that came with it no longer apply. You have space for something new, but the old answers no longer tell you what to choose.
Together, we explore what matters now, what you want to build from here, and work to make it happen.
Coaching packages for
three or six months.

Release a Block
You can feel it inside you;
it’s time to finally let it go.
That ball of unease in your gut. The clenching and restriction in your throat. The heaviness in your chest. The walls you can't take down. The armor you can't take off. You've been carrying this weight for years--even decades. Therapy didn't release it. Other healers couldn't help. But you know it's getting in the way.
Together, we create space for exactly what's needed, so you can finally release what you've been carrying all this time.
30-minute sessions,
individually or in packages.

How My Transformation Informs Yours
How My Experience Shapes Our Work
I know what it means to hold yourself back.
I spent 20 years in the closet and more than a decade building a successful corporate career. I know what it feels like to create a life that looks good on the outside while parts of yourself remain locked away.
My own life has required me to recognize the patterns that once protected me, release what was no longer serving me, and discover what became possible on the other side.
Today, I help others do the same. Through survival pattern work and somatics,
I help people shift what’s getting in the way of the life they want—and experience more freedom, choice, and possibility in what comes next.

What My Clients Say
What My Clients Say
Real transformations happen when you commit to change.
Brian Stevens
Risk Management
"Working with Jon was truly transformative. In just a single session, he created such a safe and supportive environment that I felt comfortable exploring a deep-seated fear that had been paralyzing me in a crucial professional project.
"What sets Jon apart is his ability to see beneath the surface. Rather than just addressing the mental block itself, he guided me to work on a much deeper level through a powerful visualization exercise. His skillful questioning and profound listening created space for genuine breakthrough.
"The session left me with something I hadn’t felt in a long time: hope. Jon helped me discover an entirely new perspective on my situation, one that felt both authentic and empowering. His coaching approach is both gentle and penetrating, creating lasting shifts that go far beyond the immediate challenge."
A. G.
Entrepreneur
"After just this one life coaching session with Jon I feel so so inspired.
"I had gone into it feeling like a grey cloud was over me for the longest time, with so much confusion about what I need to do with my life. When Jon asked me what I had hoped to get from the session I asked for clarity and grounding… I didn’t realise that talking to him would connect me to something deeper; something I didn’t even know I needed: a part of me that I had forgotten about and been disconnected from - my heart, my essence… that aspect of me that makes me feel really good about being me and that makes me honour the energy I bring to the world.
"I feel so much gratitude for Jon’s presence… He is so genuine and heart centered in the most natural way and made me feel so comfortable in sharing openly, very vulnerable thoughts and feelings without feeling pressured to do so. Thank you Jon. You are just amazing at what you do xxxx

"When I met Jon, I was like in the depths of despair... But right now I feel like I have my vision, I have my desire to live and do things... Our sessions also made me realize what I really want in my life and what I don't want in my life... I'm feeling healthier and I feel emotionally safer.
"Every time after our sessions, I was happy and I always regained my belief in myself... and I started feeling better again and again. There were many times I was feeling down, and after our sessions, I'm like, okay, I'm capable of everything...
"I was able to build up my portfolio because that was something I was postponing... I started getting more interviews... I got my confidence again."
S. B.

"Before working with Jon, I didn’t realize how stuck I was in my comfort zone or how much I was shutting down around other people. Over the two months we worked together, he helped me open up, understand what I was doing, and let go of old negative experiences that were still affecting me. One visualization exercise especially changed things for me — it helped me feel more positive and happy, and I still use it all the time.
"Through this process I broke through a barrier inside myself, something that had held me back with people and with my confidence for a long time. I started feeling more at ease, more open to meeting new people, and more comfortable just being myself. I found more of who I am during our time together. I highly recommend working with Jon.”

"After years of feeling a disconnect between who I felt I was and who I wanted to be, I engaged Jon to provide coaching services to help me better figure out how to get from where I was to where I wanted to be. Jon was amazing. He asked probing questions which I had never been asked before and helped me identify where the stumbling blocks were to my progress. The best thing? I felt that I could talk to him about anything without shame or judgment. I'm in SUCH a better place now because of my time with him."

"You’re one of the best coaches I’ve worked with. I’ve worked with a lot—maybe a dozen different coaches over the last decade.
"The quality of your work as a coach is being able to get to the core of some of these very challenging and often emotional decisions and guiding people through it so they can come to their own conclusions. That, I think, has been game changing. And frankly it’s also had a massive impact on my day and how I feel about work and my excitement towards work.
What I really loved about your approach is that it’s...really set around the modality of “you have the answers, but you just need somebody to guide you to them.” And...this approach of curiosity, I think it’s much more effective for people to eventually come to the right answers, particularly for entrepreneurs…So the answer is "Do it.""
