What kinds of life challenges bring people to this work?
While my focus is on the whole person rather than treating isolated symptoms, clients often seek this space to navigate the somatic and emotional layers of chronic stress, anxiety, healing and resolving relational and attachment dynamics, rewiring old reactive patterns, and releasing the heavy burdens of grief or loss. This work is designed for individuals, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond managing symptoms and are looking to transform deeply ingrained patterns at the root.

​

How does deep transformational coaching differ from traditional therapy?
Traditional psychotherapy often focuses on intellectual understanding, processing through analytical talk therapy, and treating clinical diagnoses. Deep transformational coaching is a collaborative, growth-oriented process anchored fully in the present moment, even while drawing on information from the past. Together, we focus on tapping into the wisdom of your body, engaging the nervous system to actively shift old patterns, release stored stress, and connecting you directly to your innate capacity for healing and resolution.

​

What is psycholytic medicine work, and is it fully legal?
Psycholytic work utilizes low, sub-psychedelic doses of medicine (typically medically prescribed ketamine and legally dispensed cannabis) within a structured, therapeutic coaching container to gently lower defenses mechanisms and amplify somatic processing. All medicine work facilitated through Wholehearted Path is fully legal and conducted strictly within safe, regulated frameworks. Our focus is heavily centered on relational safety, nervous system regulation, and integrating deeply profound experiences into your everyday life.

​

How do your somatic and relational approaches inform the medicine and coaching sessions?
Our sessions are experiential and relationally focused. Rather than analyzing your history intellectually, we welcome the different internal parts of you, honoring the profound, hidden coherence behind your old survival strategies and wired-in relational defenses. By quieting the managing mind, we create a collaborative, co-regulated space where the nervous system can safely access deeply held non-verbal material, process stored trauma responses, and permanently rewire outdated emotional mappings at a biological root level.​

​

How do you approach your work with couples and families?
We will move away from blame and look directly at the underlying relational and attachment patterns that cause couples and families to feel disconnected or stuck. By creating a secure, emotionally supportive, non-judgmental environment, I help partners map out their automatic protective cycles, understand each other’s underlying somatic vulnerabilities, and cultivate deep, authentic emotional bonds that foster true intimacy and mutual support. Whatever the block, if there is willingness, there will be a way back to each other.

​

Do I need prior experience with somatics or medicine work to attend a retreat or session?
Not at all. Whether you choose private sessions, an immersive retreat, or equine-assisted integration, the work is entirely paced to your unique needs. I will meet you exactly where you are and guide you to co-creating a safe, relationally-centered space where you can step into these experiences with my dedicated support and guidance. We will take things at the pace that feels right for you by tracking and following the innate wisdom of your body and mind, trusting your inner healing intelligence to lead the way.

What role do equine-assisted services play in your range of services? 

Horses and donkeys are social, highly sensitive animals whose own survival depends on absolute, grounded presence and resonance. In our ground-based equine-assisted sessions, the animal acts as a living mirror for what is occurring within your nervous system, providing immediate, nonjudgmental feedback to help you track somatic tension, notice relational patterns, and practice real-time co-regulation. This experiential, fully engaged setting offers a safe and profound container for emotional integration and deep self-exploration.
