Purpose | Legacy | Change
Are you currently “questing”?
- Are you going through a significant life transition that is asking that you let go and stretch your sense of self into new and more life-affirming patterns?
- Are you actively investigating your life calling or considering your legacy, and aiming at something novel and/or much bigger than ever before?
- Do you have a deep desire to re-enchant your life, recover your joy, and become a force of love and healing on this planet?
- Are you at an impasse in a relationship, needing to express yourself more forthrightly but not wanting to close your heart?
- Are you seeking to integrate a profound spiritual opening experience?
- Have you reached a key passage in your life where you realize you cannot go on as before, and would like compassionate support for exploring who and where you are, and for taking the next steps?
- Are you done talking and thinking and trying to “figure things out” and ready to go deeper with yourself and with life?
- Are you searching for greater connectedness, meaning and purpose?
- Do you have a life-changing idea or invention and need support in taking the next step?
- Has traditional talk therapy not “gotten you there”?

Facilitation for Self-Emergence
My approach is facilitative (helping you help yourself) and systemic (comprehensive) — encouraging you to listen to and learn from your own flow of spirit, energy, thoughts and emotions and to deepen your relationship to yourself, others, your community and world, and to pursue what makes you most passionate about life. I trust that you already know what to do. My job is to facilitate the self-emergence that is already wanting to happen.
Explore the Possibilities, Pressure-Free
If you’ve yet to have someone facilitate your taking the next step with your life, relationships or career, you owe it to yourself to explore the potential of this kind of relationship. I’m happy to offer a brief session that is free of any pressure to do more than discuss your current situation and goals. In around a quarter hour, you can see if going further might be fruitful. If you’re ready to explore the possibility, schedule a call time here.
In-Depth Sessions
John-Michael encouraged me to be the major artist of our work together. I found that I was divine in my imperfection and master of myself and how others treated me.
– M.D.
My facilitative sessions run from 55 up to 75 minutes when needed so you have the time to reflect, respond, and share what’s going on for you in the context of your life process. What is “process-oriented”? It is simply an approach that pays attention to what is happening in the moment — so it’s not just talk about “what you did” and “what you’re going to do.” For example, as we engage with each other and with your key life questions today, you may reflect on your currently arising physical responses, intuitive images or feelings, sudden questions or revelations, etc. I find it best not to try to shoehorn my clients into sessions that may be too brief to explore in this way. However, if you just want a quick-connection session so you can get back to the joy of creating something wonderful, well yeah.
Available Plans
This plan provides 3 months (13 weeks or “one season”) of weekly sessions, plus a weekly email exchange. This is the recommended duration if you are wanting to attain mastery and are committed to doing whatever it takes.
“Season of Change” 13-Session Plan — as low as $500/mo– contact me to order.
This plan provides 2 sessions, plus a weekly email exchange, over a 4-week period (one moon cycle). This plan is good for boosting your focus for a new goal or life plan, or for exploring the possibilities of working with me before committing to a greater duration.

Individual sessions are $125, all inclusvie — contact me to order.
What to Expect
No two people are alike, and neither are facilitated sessions. That being said, here are some things you can expect from me and from our time together:
- You can expect me to treat you as an individual with unique talents, desires, goals and needs.
- You can expect me to treat you as a whole person, mind, body, heart, soul and spirit, and to encourage all these parts to be engaged in our time together and in your life always.
- You can expect me to ask you a lot of questions, to listen more than talk, to help you identify patterns that may not be working, and to suggest new approaches.
- You can expect me to help you build on your strengths and strengthen your suboptimal habits.
- You can expect me to be straight with you when something is not working or I think you’re overlooking something important or even fooling yourself.
- You can expect me to be nonjudgmental, supportive, honest, clear, intuitive, and sometimes provocative and challenging.
- You can expect us to jointly develop a plan with concrete goals by the end of the first session (for the Season of Change Plan), and to refer to and update it regularly.
- You can expect me to help you hold yourself accountable to yourself – not to me; and therefore:
- You can expect me to treat you as an adult.
- You can expect some initial writing to get you going and to share with me before we start, and also some along the way.
- You can expect me to respond to emails within 24 hours, often sooner.
- I may recommend practices or meditations, which are always free to adapt to your own use.

Is NOW the Time?
- What do I have to lose by not acting now?
- What do I have to gain by acting now?
By really delving into these questions in a committed fashion, you’ll come to understand if now is the time. The truth is, you have to be ready, and no one can tell you that but you.
That being said, sometimes we have to jump in the deep end of the pool before we feel ready in order to discover what we are truly capable of. Sometimes we have to take a leap of faith. Sometimes we have to act when hemming and hawing and waiting for the “perfect time” or the “right time” isn’t getting us there. So, what does your gut — not your head — say?
If you’re ready, and/or willing to leap, the only other question remaining then is, am I the person to help you?
Thankfully, there’s an easy way to explore that: schedule a free consultation here.
Is a “Facilitator” Necessary?
By definition, what we are unaware of, we are unaware of. Another person who is also walking the path of awakening can as an outside observer more objectively see what your mind, settled in its own habitual patterns, may not be able to see. In this way, you can learn to broaden your perception of both your gifts and your subconscious programming.
He or she also brings a lifetime of unique and different experiences, and can thus help expand your choices of how to respond and create more consciously and confidently.
Finally, having another person as a participant in your inquiry can be reinvigorating, as it’s no longer just you talking to yourself but a more active and vibrant co-creation. Just being witnessed can be very profound and potentiating. This is the highest form of service we can do for each other.
