Please note:

Individual coaching and Shadow Tender work are an excellent compliment to a personal contemplative practice or existing therapeutic process, but they cannot replace the guidance of a trained counselor or psychotherapist. I am an artist, a coach, and a teacher, and the purpose of these sessions is to offer educational tools and structures for creative exploration, expression, professional and personal growth. I am not a licensed mental health care provider, and the services I provide are not designed for those who are currently working with or going through acute crisis or trauma.

I strongly encourage anybody pursuing Shadow Tender work or rigorous self-development to have ample outside support and resources (family, friends, therapists, community, etc) to help navigate the material that may arise out of such a process. I would be happy to make suggestions or referrals for mental health care services as part of our coaching work together.

Honor teachers, respect your ancestors : 

My work and coaching approach was developed across a variety of spaces - intellectually, temporally, and geographically - which is itself an enormous privilege.

No teacher, no ancestor is perfect or without flaw, yet a constellation of teachers can begin to weave clearer and clearer paths for inquiry shaped by integrity, curiosity, and greater self-awareness. I openly credit and honor those whose work has become a foundation for my own approaches and teaching methodology:

  • The teaching methodology, academic guidance, and insights of La Donna Forsgren, Les Gray, Theresa May, and Alexandra Bonds

  • The research of Spee Kosloff, Jeff Greenberg, and other scholars of Terror Management Theory

  • The writings and scholarly research of Judika Illes 

  • The breathing methodologies of Konstantin Buteyko

  • The teachings and writings of Milton Erickson

  • The teachings of butoh artists Diego Piñon, Hiroko & Koichi Tamano, Yumiko Yoshioka, and others

  • The communication strategies taught by Kasia Urbaniak and Ruben Flores at the Academy

  • Shadow Tender collaborators and co-teachers: Maria Thomas, Magdalena Kaczmarska, and Adam Cooper-Terán

  • Eastern European and Central Asian folklore and fairytales as passed through oral and written traditions

  • The teachings & writings of Marshall Rosenberg and his theory of Nonviolent Communication

  • The psychodramatic approaches of Alejandro Jodorowsky 

  • The research of Peter Levine and Somatic Experiencing

  • The original writings and theories of Carl G. Jung
