We'll start with the Heart, and go from there.
Hey! I’m Paul
A little about me…
I was pretty numb to life, you might say (and I didn’t really know it…)
Go figure- who’d have guessed you eventually stop even knowing you’re numb.
Well I was numb, empty, emotions were usually OFF and when they weren’t OFF they were confusing… but they were mostly TURNED OFF. And I had convinced myself it was all ok (that’s part of how we turn them OFF).
I was really good at that emotional off switch... Being numb and not even knowing it. Maybe you can resonate, I find that most can.
For me, life was like seeing everything through a foot long tunnel. And I wouldn’t have known that was my experience, until I EXPERIENCED something different.
Through a lot of pain... and through a lot of study, meditation, therapy, coaches and courses of all kinds, tools and techniques up the wazoo, ect. ect... eventually I learned to EXPERIENCE joy, and love to be honest. I learned to really feel the essence of LIFE. And I want you to know it's beautiful. So f*** beautful.
As we learn to heal our Hearts, with time we learn to tune into what is REAL and tune out the NOISE and BS. And ultimately through learning to listen to my Heart, I learned, to experience and create a lot of peace, joy, internal clarity...
And I continue to learn every day. I love this journey.
That is the jist of my Heart journey.
And that's what I want YOU to EXPERIENCE for yourself.
Now a lot of people wonder, what are your credentials, what's your training? Well, if you really want that I'll share... though honestly, I have met a lot of high credentials who are still extremely miserable... so take it with a grain of salt.
While on the above Heart journey, I had a keen mind, and I got a PhD in Chemistry, doing environmental work, thinking, I may as well try to leave the planet better than I found it…
Funny how caring about the eartH, led me to my Heart.
I also became a "life coach", herbalist, energy worker, studied biohacking, nutrition, became an avid student of Jungian psychology, as well as aspects of Anthroposophy. I devote a significant amount of time to Qi Gong practices as well. Qi Gong simply translates as Energy Work in English... Ultimately, all life is about energy, and where it's flowing. :)
I still do some chemistry consulting part-time. I love building things and working with my hands in my lab.
But now, my focus is really on helping others on the Holistic journey to Health, starting with the Heart.
To be fair, when I say “your Heart”, it’s probably not what you think it is…
A decent description of what I do as a Holistic Life Practitioner, is I work with you to see the large complexity of our life, your entire psyche, your habits, your relationships, your dreams, wishes and desires, and we work to bring Holistic methods to get to the actual root of the disfunction in your life. We work, so you can heal yourself and thrive, so you can live healthy and vibrant, and navigate your life in a much healthier way than our society teaches.
From what you eat, how you move and sleep, to the beliefs that are stirring in the Heart, we look at it all. Holistic is the WHOLE picture.
Now I talk about the Masculine Heart as well, because we as men, have a need to reclaim the Masculine Heart as the center and core of healthy and mature masculinity.
My passion is working with individuals- supporting you in your work to live life more fully, for COMPLETE Health- Heart, Body, and Mind.
I love health and healing- My favorite thing is definitely enjoying the sweetness of life.
And my second favorite, is enabling you to enjoy your life as well.
Body, Heart, Mind and Soul
I’m here for your Heart, as cheesy as that may sound… it’s true and it’s important. The Heart probably means a bit more than what you think it means… and it’s key
Reach out. Say Hey. Let’s talk about creating more of the good in your life.
-Paul, Holistic Life Practitioner, Masculine Heart Mentor
