Figure out who you actually are.

1:1 integral coaching for young men in their twenties. I'm 24, New Ventures West certified, and I recently walked a lot of this path myself.

01 / approach

Integral coaching, plainly.

Integral coaching isn't motivational. It isn't advice-giving. It isn't therapy, though people often confuse the two.

It's structured, reflective work on who you are — across your body, mind, relationships, and sense of meaning — usually over four to six months. We meet regularly, pay attention to what's actually happening, and build new capacities, not just new information.

The New Ventures West program I trained in is one of the more rigorous integral traditions in the country. This is the work I went through myself, with my own coach.

02 / who this is for

Is this for you?

Honest answers below. Coaching isn't for everyone, and the wrong fit is worse than no fit.

this is for you if
  • You're in your twenties and the script you were handed isn't quite working anymore.
  • You want to understand yourself, not just optimize yourself.
  • You're open to a structured, reflective process — not a hack or a productivity system.
  • You're willing to try new things, including paying attention to what's happening in your body.
this probably isn't for you if
  • You're looking for a therapist — I'm not one, and that's different, important work.
  • You want tactics, advice, or answers handed to you. I'll mostly ask questions.
  • You're hoping to change quickly without changing much. This takes months, not weeks.

I'm Nate.

I grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, played college soccer, and studied economics. For a long time I was doing what was expected of me and calling it a plan.

Then I started paying actual attention — to what was true, to what was hollow, to the questions underneath the questions I was used to asking. That process didn't happen alone. I worked with a coach, I spent a lot of time outside, and I trained at New Ventures West in integral coaching.

I live in San Diego now. I work full-time at an environmental consulting firm and see coaching clients on the side. I'm building this practice slowly and on purpose.

A discovery call is thirty minutes, free, and genuinely low-pressure. It's a way for both of us to see if the work would be a fit — and if it isn't, I'll often have a suggestion for what might be.
