Frequently Asked Questions
-
I believe that cancer and other chronic illnesses are the truth seeking expression. Cancer is a wake-up call and we have the choice to answer - or not.
-
I am the only holistic, heroic coach that I know of who’s on a mission to eradicate chronic, degenerative illnesses on this planet. I combine Brian Johnson’s Heroic Performance Coaching method with Leonard Orr’s framework of the 7 Elements of Healing to create a holistic approach that addresses all aspects of mind, body, and soul.
When you work with me you’ll have access to a large variety of tools and modalities that I’ve learned from some of the world’s most artful healers.
-
Yes - in the past I’ve had surgery, chemotherapy, high intensity radiation, and a bone marrow transplant. While I might make different choices today, I support people in whatever treatment modalities they believe are right for them. I always support your choices, and if you change your mind, I will also support that choice.
-
I believe in empowering you to make informed decisions about your treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery while taking ownership of your choices. It is your path, and my job is to be your guide along that path, helping you go deeper past the concept of “fixing” yourself to becoming the best possible version of you. My approach is not prescriptive - I’m not going to tell you what to do, although I can certainly make suggestions. I’ll provide you with information, support, and tools that you can implement and use as needed. And, I’ll lovingly hold you accountable.

I work best with three kinds of people:
Professional working middle-aged men or women who have been diagnosed with cancer. You’re a seeker who’s already tried a lot of approaches in your quest for healing, and at this point you may be questioning the effectiveness of traditional allopathic medical treatments. You’re answering the wake-up call and you’re open to a personal transformation.
Former athletes or musicians who have been diagnosed with a chronic/degenerative illness such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. You were once athletic or musically talented, but life has sent you a wake-up call in the form of illness or trauma. You’re seeking new ways of being in the world and would like to get back to your old, more active self.
Family members of someone diagnosed with cancer. Your loved one was diagnosed with cancer or another chronic degenerative illness and you’re not sure what to say or do to support them. You may be inspired to change your own lifestyle based on what’s happened to them but don’t know where to begin.
Anyone who wants to reach peak performance in work, love, and life. You are someone with an entrepreneurial spirit or creative spark who is actively working on yourself. You know you have untapped potential and are looking for new ways to become the best possible version of yourself.

I am not an expert in any of the following areas:
Children or teenagers
Geriatric/elderly populations
People who identify as transgendered or are questioning their gender
Pregnant women
While I don’t work with these populations, I may be able to refer them to other professionals who are more qualified to provide the help they need.
In addition, I do not work with people who are:
Looking for a quick fix or someone to tell them what to do
Trying to get something for nothing
Unlikely to make an effort to change their habits
Uninterested in engaging in any type of movement practice

We’ll start with a 30-minute complimentary Zoom meeting so I can better understand your situation and how I can help.
Schedule Now -
Where have you been?
I’ll ask about your past experiences. What adversity have you faced? What trauma have you experienced? What is your relationship to food and to family? What is your athletic history and your understanding of exercise and movement? What did you most love to do as a kid? What have been your triumphs?Where are you now?
We’ll talk about your present life. Who are your friends? Do you have a job? A safe place to live? Are your finances sound or scattered? Have you been exercising and moving for the last six months or have you been sedentary? How do you feel about your current physical condition?Where do you want to go or who do you want to become?
We’ll talk about what you want for your future. If you could create your life with the wave of a magic wand, what would it look like? I’ll encourage you to dream bigger than whatever that dream is now. -
We’ll usually start by defining your Heartset - your Why for the heroic journey you’re undertaking. We’ll get to the heart of your ultimate purpose in life and deal with the battle that’s going inside between your heart and your head, your devils and your angels. We’ll connect with your true authentic nature and create enough life force energy to carry out your heart's desires.
The process will be different for every person depending on your past, your present, and your desires for the future.

Our first consultation is complimentary.
After that, individual sessions are paid up-front. One 90-minute session with a 15-30 minute follow-up is $325. A 30 minute call is $175.
To make sure we can develop a sufficient relationship to give you a shot at transformation and breakthrough, I ask for a three-month commitment - one hour a week or 90 minutes bimonthly plus email support. This package costs $3,500.
If this is more than you can afford, we can discuss a sliding fee.
