Personal Coaching

Hello!

…and welcome to the personal coaching page where you will find information about the coaching I offer. I’ll give a brief overview to start and if you want a little more of a deep dive more information is below.

Coaching is a very broad term, where fundamentally the role of a coach is to provide support in areas that help us move beyond personal limitations. Can you recall a time in your life where you had a coach who helped encouraged your growth? What I offer is trauma-safe support to grow both practically in life and reflect our spiritual nature. The premise of my work comes from the basic, essential understanding that our innate nature will guide us to wholeness it’s a matter of us becoming available and that is what the container supports. These natural themes of healing present themselves in our physiology prior to pathologizing. Good news!

Session-work is particularly supportive for those undergoing:

-chronic stuckness or alienation

-life transitions or period of rapid change

-intensity drawn addictive impulses (I do not work with active substance abuse)

-dis-integration/integration in relationships

-deeper, spiritual unfolding and greater well-being

My aim in working together is for you to experience healthy, lasting changes. Together we build a nest of support that allows expressions (that go far beyond concept or personality) to come forward to be experienced more fully. These key moments are subtle and when highlighted and held in the right type of environment often brings a deeper sense of equanimity for people and a healthier world view. During a session, we could be moving from one area of sparked interest to talking about the weather, for example.

I offer a free 20-30 minute consult. Standard sessions run 60 minutes and I charge on a sliding scale at a rate of $60-90 per hour. Rates in Latin America are $40-60 an hour.

Please either use the contact form below or contact me directly for us to schedule. It will be my pleasure to hold a conversation with you.

Science and Testimony

Body, Mind, and Spirit is a Greek concept. The division between having a material, breathing, animal with emotion to that which forms a history and a perspective on life and so on. These divisions are how we also constellate internally. We know through basic principles of physics that the innate nature of every thing is energy and that energy is vibrating, contracting and expanding in an unknown mass of uncertainty, potential. As a biology, we experience this universal energy in flux as a world of sensation and movement. Images, visions form inside of us. Being humans, we have added complexity that we share to limited capacities with other animals (other animals possessing intelligences way beyond what we can grasp I must add!), we think and form emotional attachments.

We also have the environment we live in; which we are in-separate from. Like every life form, through some unique make-up of that energy being metabolized through material events, the energy is transformed through the eternal, always reliable and consistently here- the present moment. We know the present moment by connecting to it. We know this in a different way we know things.

Our conscious choice to trust another person or circumstance is secondary, a byproduct if you will, that whatever that other person or circumstance is, is okay and safe enough for your biological system to relate and engage with. There are observable moments, happening all throughout the day for each person (including animals) where something organizing and coherent is coming through to establish further integration into the whole picture of life; your life. What I do is highlight (often by subtle means) when this is happening for you, and reinforce them within a positive framework. This builds trust between us.

Our true limitation is not how much we can suffer (we’ve got plenty of that); our true limitation is how much we can enjoy. What builds lasting capacity (intellectual, emotional, spiritual, professional…etc.) is very subtle, gradual and often outside of conscious awareness. Any self-realized person will back me on this. Those little tiny moments of spontaneous equanimity build, creating a life full of meaning, connection, and profundity. When those little moments are given the permission to happen, we feel good. We’ve made the return, if only briefly to our true dwelling place, the present moment. We can get all the boxes checked but without something, how do I say this, in-between happening we can have everything we ever wanted and more and still find ourselves standing there wondering what’s missing.

Trauma is nothing more than a de-railing from making that return. We experience this as a deep type of insecurity, that if we were to let ourselves be more of who we are, something very bad could happen. That insecurity is not something that we can make changes to by more clever thinking or feeling more intensely. For lasting changes to take place (which is what I am concerned about) we need the ‘biological understanding’ that what is going on is actually safe. This a radical departure from what therapy has taught us. Therapy often takes what we call a top-down approach. We impose techniques onto the psychology having identified aspects of the psychology that are presenting imbalance. The coaching approach is to recognize what is already revealing itself to build stability and further integrate, reinforcing this innate good-nature that we all are. We don’t play God; we align with God.

Science and deep talk aside, sitting down with someone who doesn’t react in places you are used to getting a reaction to- is an invaluable resource. In my personal journey I have encountered some of the worst, horrifying realities of a human being. In the worst of moments what unexpectedly shows up as support, either through situations or through people themselves has revealed to me things that cannot be bought or taught. So please let it be said that signing up to work with me is not just Landon; you’re entering a network of support that extends far and wide.‍ ‍

We can achieve a lot as individuals but the reality is you will only go so far. If we were hurt in relationship, why do we expect to heal as individuals? That is non-sense! What ‘makes sense’ is what can unfold maturely, intelligibly, and heart-attuned in relation to one another. When our systems come into congruency we feel good, we have more control over our lives. We have room to enjoy what we have. The possibility opens to consider the deeper aspects of what it means to be a human Being.

Warm Blessings,
