About

Brad

After starting and operating two small businesses for over 25 years with my wife Maria, a total life transition was in order. Our most recent business was killing me from the inside out. I deeply needed a change.

Fortunately, I was actively involved with our local Men’s Group and was transitioning for some time in becoming a professional coach. Now, I am a professional Body Centered Coach with specific training in Somatic Experiencing for Trauma and Trauma Reconciliation through Journey Work.

  My belief in this work is simple…

  • When people feel safe in their bodies, and extend their safety to others, the world will change

  • When Fathers become open, loving, safe, and vulnerable, it will foster secure attachment in their children, and in their relationships.

  • Those that make the choice to face their own disconnected parts will form a new relationship with self and build greater self awareness.

  • Being conscious of our physical bodies and our non-physical bodies is critical to being fully human.

  • We need others to help us evolve. We cannot do it alone.

I have over 15 years experience in working Men’s Groups and currently facilitate Men’s Trainings from coast to coast. My list of clients include those working on their relationships, parenting styles, divorce transitions, and Trauma Resolution.  I maintain a private practice in Sandpoint Idaho where I live with my wife of 30 years.  Our two boys are now grown men, emotionally healthy and comfortable in their skin, a parents ultimate hope for their children. We are proud of them and proud of the way we chose to parent.

I serve as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. In offering private and group sessions, I also am passionate about Community Men's Groups.  I have participated, trained, and worked with Men's Groups for almost two decades.  Community based Men's Groups are a powerful community resource.  I can help set up and train a group in starting  their own sustainable Men's Group within their community.   

I am a collaborative, body focused coach. Through this approach, I provide support and specific methods to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I also integrate mindfulness methods, visual imagery, and body centered expression to offer a highly-personalized experience. With guidance and intuition, I work with you to gain greater capacity for navigating life and developing new emotionally healthy skill sets.
