About · Relationship coach & poet

The anonymity was the thesis. Authorship is the answer.

One person, one move, three forms — coaching, a game, and the poems. Each is a way to make contact with something true and hard to say, and stay there.


How I got here

Before it was a practice, it was a problem I was living inside.

The first thing I built was called Comfort Free Conversations. The premise was a little countercultural: the things we flinch from are usually the things worth staying with, and discomfort, handled with care, is a tool rather than a threat. I still believe that. It runs underneath everything here.

But somewhere in those years I caught myself doing all of it from the neck up. I could name any feeling from a safe distance and mistake the naming for the thing itself. I had turned knowing into a place to hide — a quiet, well-defended way of never quite arriving in the room.

So I went back down into the body, and into years of study most coaching never touches: phenomenology, embodiment, the psychology of how a person actually makes meaning. The slow work was letting what I understood reach what I felt. What came out the other side is the practice you are reading now — philosophical enough to hold your complexity, embodied enough to notice the moment you leave the room while still sitting in it.

A closed loop cannot revise its own premise. Mine did.

Felt first. Then proven.

The studyAn MA in psychology, and doctoral training in clinical psychology — the clinical spine under the warmth. It is load-bearing. It just doesn’t do the talking.
The principleThe two stay two, and the staying-two is the life of the relation. Every session, every card, every line runs on that one idea.
The craftPlain words, deep reach. Feeling shown through the body, never announced. When two opposite things are both true, both go in.

Start where the pressure is.
