What is most inspiring to me about being an integral coach is the intimacy and co-creative journey it creates with a client. You never know how it's going to go but it always goes. Each person is so unique and so diverse. Each coaching topic is like looking at a whole new facet of the human experience. I love how the method is so solid and gets such good results, but there’s this huge mystery that both client and coach sit in around how things will come to completion. As someone who needed work in the LL quadrant coming into the Integral Coaching program, I find it so rewarding to be in connection with another human being about the s&*% that really matters in life.


Some significant life experiences, education, or practices that have contributed to my ability as an Integral Coach include my training in Jujitsu, Yoga, and athletics has helped me really learn to embody and metabolize personal change very fast and 'get it' in myself in a way that I can help others do the same in their bodies and lives. I think a lot of people in the Integral community get things cognitively. We can switch our minds quickly, but bodies need time and space to change. Until a realization drops down into the body, it can quickly evaporate. Lasting change needs to be embodied and having done so much somatic work and being a body person, I think that’s a skill I can help clients get on a deeper level to make consequential change and development in their lives. I also think the Warrior spirit of my life and martial practice helps inspire others and help them bring strength and compassion to the struggles of their life.


Integral Life Practices I am currently involved in are zazen, prayer, study, and journaling everyday. I also do way too much exercise: yoga, Qi Gong, jujitsu, kickboxing, run, bike, and train acrobatics. I have done trainings with Lama Surya Das, Sally Kempton, Diane Hamilton, Sophia Diaz, and David Deida. I train with fighters in Mixed Martial Arts. I’m also trying to get more in touch with the softer side of things in somatic work; Qi Gong, massage, and relaxation techniques are really hard for me and good for me at the same time. But they definitely balance me out.


I live an Integral Life because I can't stand being incomplete. The only way I feel free is when I have it all. Integral offers that. Living in an Integral Life isn’t about having everything. It’s about having what you need. With Integral, it’s so much easier to feel what’s missing and know how to cultivate it so we feel more free, more full, more alive.


People would be surprised to learn that one of my main practices to become an Integral Coach was to take bubble baths. I hated it, but it taught me to be softer, gentle, present to myself, caring and relational to others, and relaxed about life.
