Success Stories: how clients describe it

  • "Zach is beautifully using his gifts of deep listening, noticing, care and compassion, alongside his knowledge of somatic coaching, to create real transformation for folks like me who want more than traditional talk therapy can offer. Through our 1:1 sessions, I've learned so much about how my behavior patterns and emotions are expressed in my body, and have seen the direct, positive effect from his coaching in my life. Thank you for helping me thrive!"

    Business Growth Consultant

  • "I came to him with the faint idea that maybe my emotions are having physical manifestations in my body…Our time together has liberated me from some nasty self-talk and shame, and helped me find that quiet voice within that knows best what I need. Together, I also ended up exploring some developed tendencies I had not identified throughout years of therapy. I laughed, I cried, and I became more self-aware."

    Immigation Attorney

  • "Zach really helped me to notice and interpret the cues my body was sending me, and helped me cultivate love and respect for myself and my body. I noticed myself becoming increasingly aware of my body, and my agency in my life, thanks to my work with Zach…It was deeply powerful and healing for me. Zach is kind and wise, and is a humble thought partner in this work. I felt really comfortable working with him and making myself vulnerable and committed to his processes; I trust him deeply."

    Entrepreneur & Creative Consultant

  • "Zach is just very relatable and smart. He makes you feel really comfortable to say whatever you really feel and think, and has great exercises to engage your body. We have had 20 sessions so far (a surprise for me, as therapy is new and I didn't expect to look forward to it!), and he's always flexible and understanding. He does an amazing job of reminding me what I said and felt before, which helps me chart my progress over time. Would recommend! "

You: What old patterns get in your way?

People Pleasing

Try to please everybody else, but aren’t getting your needs met?

Righteous Anger

Feel “wronged” by others, staying angry long after it’s useful?

Escaping Stress

Procrastinate or dissociate when overwhelmed?

I believe that you deserve to be free from them.

Break free with Body Wisdom Coaching.

Hey, I’m Zach!

I can help you break free from stubborn patterns, that get in the way of living a life that actually meets your needs. 

Trust me, I’ve been there.

For nearly a decade, I analyzed myself to bits in talk therapy. But I was stuck in the same pattern — chronically burnt out “saving the world.” I was self-righteous, exhausted, and resentful about it, a real martyr. I wasn’t showing up fully as a friend, family member, or romantic partner, which added to the negative self-judgment.

Then I found somatics, body-mind therapy — and it all started to shift. Within just a year of rigorous embodiment work, I had made a huge career move, and I was asking for what I needed in my relationships. I was more playful, mindful, and self-loving. My oldest friends say “they feel like they have their old friend back.” 

This process transformed my life. And it can work for you too.

OK, but what actually are mind-body practices?

They range from physically rejecting someone to body-scan meditations.

One example is this Aikido-based staff “extension practice.” We each mindful movement, it helped me retrain my body to stop always overextending myself. Thats why I’ve done this particular practice >3000 times!
