Our practice

Fundamentally, our process is about space - creating it, determining what to do with it and then filling it with the outcome you’re looking for It may sound easy - create the space in your life/team/day, identify the way you want to use that space, then develop and pursue a plan that will deliver on that use.

In practice, that looks like a holistic coaching experience that considers and prioritizes personal & professional goals and complete health (mental, physical and spiritual) to reach a sustainable plan for life success. It also looks like dynamic consulting that balances human resources and organizational outcomes. And, it looks like engagement in the natural world that heals, strengthens and expands our desire to explore.

We prioritize your unique capacity to ensure your outcomes are worth the resources you’re putting into it. Let me be your guide to success!!

The STL Shaman

THE SHAMAN

The STL Shaman's primary gifts are an ability to communicate, motivate and connect on an elevated level, a unique set of life experiences that provide perspective, and a heightened ability to hear, see and translate your words and thoughts.  This is a foundation that leads to achievement.  If we're seeking an outcome together, we'll get to it. 
The shaman has consistently pursued  the purpose of this life and how to make life as enjoyable as possible.  The positive emotions of happiness and joy are the foundation of what makes up the best of this world.  And nothing will make us happier than you experiencing happiness  with us!
So, instead of elevating from this world to find solutions  as traditional shaman have, our solutions are grounded in the reality most everyone lives in - this world with all of its challenges and flaws.  Connect with the shaman to see it first hand and you'll find happiness is closer than you think!
And, if you are someone who wants to see the roles that have cultivated this perspective, here’s something more than a few gifts and a vision:
a Christian
a husband 
a father
a sibling
a friend
a backpacker
a business partner to Dream by Design
an executive, not for profit leader
an executive, for profit leader 
a disciple to patience, prioritization and persistence

Mission

We have two underlying foundations that have led to these applications:

1) There is too much beauty in our world to be without joy

2) Nature is an impactful, free way to find joy and gratitude

We have a mental health emergency. People are drowning from expeirences and demands that deter them from being happy. Social media, politics, poor managers, capitalism are all very consuming detractors of joy that are difficult to avoid in our present world. Can we replace our time in those spaces with natural spaces?? Our mission is to make nature more comfortable for everyone so it becomes a primary, daily experience that balances out the things that cause us pain and frustration.
