Hey, I’m Jay.
I’m on a mission to empower you to rewrite the rules of how you show up in relationships, both personally and professionally.
I’ve worked with thousands of smart, self-aware humans who’ve done all the therapy, read all the books, and still find themselves feeling resentful, disconnected, or like they’re secretly the mess in the room. They know better—but when it matters most, they can’t do better.
That’s where I come in.
Through the transformative "Hey, Wait" framework and my signature course, Yours Truly™, I teach you how to stand solid in your own experience—so you can stop performing and start being real. You’ll learn how to work with your nervous system, break free from relational conditioning, and communicate with honesty and self-respect—even in the hardest moments.
I’ve been at this for over two decades, combining mindfulness, embodiment, and science-backed therapeutic approaches to help people feel more at home in their own skin. I do this work because I’ve lived the other way. I’ve twisted myself up to make other people comfortable. I’ve stayed quiet to avoid conflict. I’ve rehearsed comebacks in the shower because I was tongue-tied in the moment. I’ve undervalued my self in my work and relationships.
Believe me when I say—I know how easy it is to get lost trying to be “good.”
Like me, you were probably never taught how to be with yourself, especially around other people. And there are so many forces—cultural, relational, neurobiological—pushing you to disconnect just to get by. That’s why my work goes beyond insight and pulls from somatics, psychology and Polyvagal Theory. It helps you rewire the patterns in your nervous system so you can stop performing and start showing up—with empathy, honesty, and a real connection to yourself.
Because if you’re not working with your nervous system, it’s most likely working against the growth you want for yourself.
My work is influenced by all the professional experiences I’ve had—everything from teaching yoga, working with adjudicated youth in wilderness therapy programs, being a rock climbing guide and a rites of passage guide, training leaders in corporate boardrooms and coaching thousands of people around the world on how to show up more fully and freely in their lives.
It's also shaped by my lifelong devotion to learning—through two plus decades of yoga, meditation, therapy, coaching, reading just about everything I can get my hands on, and a graduate degree in Integral Transformative Education. Most recently I’ve found a great sense of freedom, joy and a connection to something true in myself through riding motorcycles.
Whatever you want for yourself—personally or professionally—you’ve probably realized by now that thinking your way there won't work. If it did, you’d already be there. You’re smart. You’ve done the work. And still, something inside keeps getting in your way.
Don’t worry—you’re not broken. You just haven’t found the right tools yet. When you’re ready to unlock your access to those tools, I'm here to help.
