Coaching

What a session is

It’s a conversation with a direction. We start with what’s actually going on, not with a worksheet, and we work with it on three levels: the thoughts and stories you’re running, the meaning underneath them, and what your body is doing while you tell me. That’s the PAL Method in a single room: transpersonal psychology for the why, somatic practice for the how.
This isn’t only work on what hurts. Half the people I see are doing fine and want to go further: a goal they’ve circled for years, a body that could carry more energy, a relationship that could go deeper. Positive psychology has as much to say about that as transpersonal psychology has about meaning. The aim is the same either way: a person who functions better in body, mind and relationships, not one who feels better for an afternoon.
People regularly tell me that one hour undid something they’d carried for years. That isn’t magic. It’s what happens when the right question meets a body that is finally calm enough to answer it. You leave with two or three things to do that week, chosen for you and written down: a breath practice for a specific moment in your day, a sentence you need to say to someone, or permission to stop doing something.
One more thing, said plainly: my job is to make you need me less, not more. Most people come for a handful of sessions, spaced a week or more apart, and then carry on without me. That’s the goal.

What we can work on

Every session is yours, but these are the doors people usually come through.
A practice that has stalled. Meditation or breathwork that used to work and doesn’t, or that never quite started.
A pattern you can see but can’t stop. The same argument, the same avoidance, the same Sunday-night dread.
Stress, anxiety and the body. Tools that change your physiology in a minute, and an understanding of why they work.
A decision you keep circling. Getting underneath the pros and cons to what you already know.
Purpose and alignment. When the life you built doesn’t fit the person you’ve become.
Intimacy and relationship, for individuals and couples. Presence, energy and honest connection, drawing on Tantric and Taoist traditions I’ve practiced and taught for years.
Grief, loss and letting go. The practice of surrender, which is not the same as giving up.

Who it’s for

People who are functioning and want more: more Peace, more clarity, more honesty with themselves. People willing to practice between sessions. People who would rather be told the truth than be reassured.
It isn’t a substitute for therapy or medical care. If you’re in crisis, or you need clinical treatment, a licensed provider is the right first call, and I’ll say so if I think that’s where you are.

The session

One hour on Zoom, one-on-one. $250, paid when you book through the calendar. You’ll get a confirmation with the link straight away.
Book one at a time, or up to four in advance, no more than one a week. The gap is deliberate; it’s where the work happens.
Reschedule freely up to 24 hours before. Inside 24 hours, or if you don’t show, the session is charged in full.

If you use the Authenticity app

Bring your PAL Score. It gives us a starting point across five dimensions of a peaceful, authentic life, and it gives you a way to see, in the weeks after, whether what we worked on is moving anything. If you’ve been doing daily reflections, a glance at your recent patterns before the call is worth more than any notes you could prepare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Chad@oneloveholistichealth.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How do I book?

Through the calendar on this page. Choose a time, pay, and you’ll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link.

Do I need to prepare anything before my session?

No. If something specific brought you here, a few notes help, but an open mind is enough.

What happens in the hour?

We talk about what’s going on, we work with it, and you leave with a short list of things to do that week. If a practice fits, we’ll do it together on the call so you know how it feels before you try it alone.

What’s the rescheduling policy?

You can move your session up to 24 hours beforehand, using the link in your confirmation email. Inside 24 hours, or if you miss the session, the full fee applies.

Do you offer refunds?

No. Your hour is held for you alone. You can reschedule within the window above.

Do you offer package deals for multiple sessions?

Not at the moment. You can book up to four sessions in advance, one per week.

How do I pay for my session?

When you book, through the calendar. There’s nothing to arrange separately.
