Life Coaching & Consulting
Calm Your Mind. Find Your Direction. Live With Clarity.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, I help you simplify what’s going on internally and move forward with clarity and structure.
My work focuses on practical, grounded coaching that helps you understand what’s actually driving your stress, habits, and decisions – and how to change them in a sustainable way.
What You Can Expect
We get to the root, not just the surface
Most approaches manage symptoms, like stress, anxiety, overthinking. My work focuses on identifying the deeper patterns, habits, and emotional loops that are actually driving those experiences. Most people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge, they struggle because old habits, unconscious patterns, and self-sabotaging behaviors keep pulling them back into self destructive shame loops. When you understand what’s underneath, lasting change becomes possible.
Practical, grounded support you can apply immediately
Sessions are calm and focused, not abstract. You leave with concrete tools, mindset shifts, and actionable practices to use between sessions. Real transformation happens through small, consistent shifts.
Building Systems That Support Your Life
Lasting change doesn’t happen through insight alone, it happens when your daily life supports the person you’re becoming. Together, we’ll create practical systems, routines, habits, and structures that make it easier to follow through consistently, reduce overwhelm, and stay aligned with your goals, even when life gets hectic.
A holistic approach that covers the 5 Elements of Life
Life doesn’t happen in separate compartments, and neither does coaching. We’ll look at your habits, mindset, health, relationships, work, and sense of purpose because they’re all connected. I go into more detail on the 5 Elements of Life below.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for more direction, we’ll work with the whole picture instead of just treating one piece of it.
A Personalized Coaching Experience
In our sessions I offer you the opportunity to slow down and explore your inner world with curiosity rather than judgment. No two people are the same, so no two coaching journeys are the same. Every person brings a unique story, set of experiences, strengths, challenges, goals and dreams. That’s why I take the time to understand your life as a whole, allowing our work together to be shaped around who you are. This is not a one size fits all process.
Creating an Accountability Practice That Lasts
Most people already know what they should be doing, the challenge is following through consistently. Together, we’ll create a personalized accountability practice – daily, weekly, or monthly – that keeps you moving forward between sessions, helps you navigate setbacks without shame, and builds the confidence that comes from keeping promises to yourself. Over time, the goal is for accountability to become something you cultivate within yourself, not something you depend on from someone else.

Self Sabotage, habits and behavior change
Most people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge, they struggle because old habits, unconscious patterns, and self-sabotaging behaviors keep pulling them back into self-destructive shame loops.
Together, we’ll identify the internal patterns and saboteurs that influence the way you think, feel, and respond to challenges, and where you might be lacking in self love.
Mindset, Confidence & Perspective
The way we think shapes the way we experience the world. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs, perspectives, and internal narratives that influence your decisions, relationships, and daily life.
Career Direction & Life transitions
Whether you’re considering a career change, starting a business, relocating, entering a new season of life, or simply feeling uncertain about what’s next, transitions can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
Together, we’ll create space to slow down, gain clarity, and make thoughtful decisions that align with your values and long term vision.
Relationships & Communication
Our relationships often reflect the way we relate to ourselves. Whether you’re navigating conflict, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, or simply wanting deeper, more meaningful connections, we’ll begin by understanding the patterns that shape the way you show up in your relationships.

About Me
I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and I’ve been a coach in one form or another for most of my life: from coaching sports in 3 different countries, to working with kids with special needs, I’ve always loved helping people see what they’re capable of. I use a holistic approach to help people make lasting changes, with real accountability, practical feedback, and zero judgment.
My coaching is informed by my life experience:
- I’m mixed race and grew up in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the US.
- I started businesses, led teams, and experienced sudden career shifts working in 4 different countries.
- At age 21 I was falsely accused of a crime carrying a potential 10–15 year prison sentence. My whole life collapsed.
- Though the case was dismissed, the 3-year ordeal left me searching for healing.
- I confronted my ptsd, reframed my unconscious beliefs and self-sabotaging patterns, and moved with my partner to a rural farm in Ecuador to live with the land.
- I became fascinated with studying the nervous system, holistic lifestyle design, circadian biology, ancient knowledge, and regenerative farming.
- With my mentor I learned self accountability and trust, and I can help you do the same.
The goal is simple: to create more space in your life for what truly matters: your health, relationships, direction, and purpose.
Testimonials
Catherine P.
Ian helped me access a shift that has changed my life forever. Before our work together, I was incapable of truly loving. I confused love with validation and lived in unconscious emotional contracts that left me shattered and disconnected. He helped me build a foundation from which I can now truly love myself and others, without transaction or grasping.
I came to Ian at a moment when I was in a new relationship and could feel old emotional patterns resurfacing.. reactivity, insecurity, people-pleasing, and a deep fear of abandonment. I knew if I didn’t address them, I would repeat the same cycles I had lived in for years, hurting myself and the people I loved.
Ian helped me start at the foundation: my health, habits, and nervous system. As I began eating better, sleeping more, and removing numbing behaviors, I gained clarity and emotional stability I didn’t realize was possible.

Working with Ian has helped me grow in various ways. The opportunity to talk about myself and reflect on past issues is something that I have never been able to do. Through the questions he asked me, he helped me gain clarity around the struggles I was dealing with. We identified the issues and the root causes and worked through them together. When we started working together, I was fresh off divorcing my ex-husband, and I was worried about being on my own and many aspects of my life. He helped me identify what I wanted from life and helped me build confidence to explore who I am and how I want to live.
Before I worked with Ian, I would be nervous to walk down the street in fear of street harassment. Now, I feel confident, and when my anxiety does arise, I know how to have a healthy conversation with myself and not make decisions based on fear but on reason.
