COACHING WITH GREG
About Greg
My best qualification isn’t a certificate — it’s a lifetime divided into two very different chapters. Chapter One was a life lived about as disconnected from its own purpose as a human being can get, and it ended in real desperation, close to self-destruction. Chapter Two has been a series of awakenings — some rude, some unmistakably spiritual — that reconnected me to a Power far greater than myself and put my life on a path I could never have planned for myself. That transformation was nothing short of miraculous, and I take no credit for it beyond a willingness to keep showing up and doing the work of rebuilding.
Out of that came a purpose: helping other people uplift their own lives. Over 20 years and thousands of conversations later, that’s still exactly what I do.
If you’re somewhere in your own Chapter One right now — stuck, disconnected, desperate for something to change — I want you to know: it’s not the end of your story. It’s the beginning of the part that actually matters.
COACHING WITH GREG
Intro to Coaching
Only one thing exceeds my joy and fulfillment in teaching Yoga: talking with people eager to achieve profound results in what matters most — and making certain they accomplish it.
This is Life-Coaching. I’ve coached individuals for more than 20 years, witnessing countless transformations. Some wanted worldly accomplishments: a new career, a healthier body, or an important new skill. Others wanted to change their inner world. This means real peace of mind, self-expression, or true purpose. Some have sought freedom from life-threatening addictions, early-life trauma, PTSD, or debilitating codependence they recognize is making life seriously unmanageable, if not completely miserable.
Inevitably, all these worlds intersect in what I call our “True Place” — the unique place where our God-given gifts find their greatest expression, for our own well-being and everyone around us. True Place is the highest aspiration: living the life we were created to live.
EXPERIENCE & RESULTS
Why Coaching With Me?
Experience and results. I hold certification through CTI (Coaches Training Institute) since 2009, perhaps the most respected coaching training in the world. Beyond that, I’ve dived deep into the world’s healing and truth traditions for 50 years, healing my own life first. That’s what qualifies me to show others how — not abstract advice, but real action that solves problems and creates the life we were meant to live.
My coaching is one-of-a-kind — I draw from the many paths I’ve spent my life immersed in: Yoga and meditation, contemplative prayer, psychotherapy, CBT, 12-step recovery — to suit the person in front of me. What I know isn’t taught at university — there’s no certificate for it, only lived experience.
Does this make me a shaman, a guru, or a psychic? The label is irrelevant — what matters is getting to the core of your issue fast. Within a few sessions, most people find exactly what they want, what’s holding them back, and a real plan to get there — results often chased for years.

The Principle
How It Works
There is a deep and profound spiritual/metaphysical principle at the core of my coaching: “Anytime two or more are gathered.” When two humans join together in honest, willing, open-minded conversation with the highest intention in mind, nothing less than miracles happen.
This is not spacey, new-age hyperbole; this is rock-solid pragmatic reality. Honest, open-minded, vulnerable and curious conversation between human beings is mankind’s oldest and most reliable means of healing and transformation, because it opens the channel to Truth. Know the Truth and it will set you free.
The Requirement
How It Works
What’s required to choose coaching with me? A sincere desire to improve, the honesty to discuss it, and the willingness to take action and be accountable. Any worldview is welcome. Whether spiritual or material, believer or secular — you bring your mindset, your desired outcome, and your willingness, and this work will deliver your result.
I speak with confidence — I’ve seen it happen so consistently over the years, I simply know it. While I am the coach, I am not the Source of the healing; I am the channel through which the knowledge you already know is delivered to you. If you seek, you find.
The Principle
Another Mind
It’s difficult, often impossible, to solve a problem with the same mind that created it — we need another mind to help us get there. That’s the principle at the core of my coaching: two people, in honest, open conversation, can reach a place neither could reach alone.
The Requirement
How Can I Have All the Answers?
I don’t. You do. What’s required to choose coaching with me is a sincere desire to improve, the honesty to discuss it, and the willingness to take action and be accountable. Any worldview is welcome. My role isn’t to hand you solutions — it’s to help you find your way to what you already know.
What Our Students Say
Reading only takes you so far — at some point, seeking has to become conversation.
