What you are looking for

is what is looking

- St. Francis of Assisi

Welcome to The Essence-Way

What if the deepest transformation isn't about achieving or becoming, but about recognizing what's already alive?

This is work in service of essence knowing itself through the senses — through beauty, through presence, through the quality of attention itself.

When essence recognizes its own flavors, life begins to follow..

I stopped designing, and arguing, and

sculpting a happy life.

I didn't die. I didn't turn to dust.

Instead I chopped vegetables,

and made a calm lake in me

where the water was clear and sourced and still.

And when the ones I loved came to it,

I had something to give them...

TARA MOHR, "The Quiet Power"

Three pathways to work with me..

Essence-way Taster Session

A single session to taste this path

Whether you're curious about what this path is, or exploring if companionship is right for you, this session offers a direct taste of your essence qualities through your senses — through whatever is alive for you right now.

This is for individuals and practitioners alike. Follow the “learn more” link for more about the Essence-Way — you will find package offerings there too..

Essence Companionship

Extended journeying for those navigating transformation

I journey alongside you as you discover, and live from, your unique essence qualities. Over time, this becomes less about searching and more about recognizing what's already here — and letting your life come into coherence with that.

Practitioner Companionship

For therapists, coaches, spiritual directors and teachers

What if you could invite your clients to recognize specific flavors of their essence—like spaciousness, clarity, aliveness—with precision and poetry in the work you already do?

This companionship helps you come into more coherence with Essence in your own life, and to then offer essence quality recognition as a living thread woven through your existing work..
