A Presence-Centered Approach to Coaching
Presence is your inner resource for navigating complexity—whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, creating something new, or exploring life’s deeper questions. Coaching offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to include your whole experience—awareness, emotions, and sensations—and to access qualities like calm, clarity, courage, compassion, and creativity. Through this work, you’ll meet challenges with grounded wisdom and discover a natural confidence in being your authentic self.
What Becomes Possible
When we learn to meet life from Presence, new possibilities open:
Live with a deeper sense of integrity, creativity, and authenticity.
Cultivate emotional and relational intelligence.
Meet difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations with curiosity and care.
Find clarity for navigating stuck places, tough decisions, and complex challenges.
Calm your nervous system and create conditions for restoration and resilience.
You don’t need any prior experience with coaching or meditation to experience these benefits—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Clients describe this work as grounded, clarifying, and quietly transformative.

Joe’s coaching has supported me in a way I have seldom experienced. I can bring whatever is current into the conversation, and he meets it with such grounded presence that the shame or consternation I felt before talking with him dissolves. I left each session with renewed clarity and a sense of release from the weight I carried in.
— Nikky O., Coach -
My sessions with Joe proved extraordinarily useful. I entered our relationship with a tangle of unnamed problems and emerged with a clear sense of what problems I wanted to solve, some tools to help tackle the problems, and, most importantly, a new way of thinking about how I showed up in the world.
— Bryan Y., Team Leader
Aletheia
Welcoming What’s Here
This Presence-centered approach is grounded in Aletheia Integral Unfoldment—a gentle, developmental path that welcomes what’s here and invites transformation through awareness and embodiment.
Most approaches to personal growth assume something is wrong that needs fixing. Aletheia asks a different question: What if nothing is missing?
Our work creates the conditions for you to uncover Presence—your natural resourcefulness, creativity, and wisdom.
The secret of this work is simple and powerful: letting go of the need to change. When we welcome what’s here, space opens for something new. Growth and transformation begin to feel almost effortless.
What a Session Feels Like
We start with what's here now—a challenge you're facing, a feeling you can't shake, a pattern that keeps repeating. Rather than rushing to analyze or solve, we slow down and welcome it with genuine curiosity.
We might explore parts of you that need to be heard, or sense constrictions and energetic holding patterns in the body. As we attune to the edge of knowing, we will uncover and embody qualities of Presence. You'll feel more capable of navigating life's complexities with openness and ease.
Joyful Practice
Your inner fire for practice often accelerates transformation. You’re always practicing something—so together we’ll explore the container you’re playing in. When practice feels meaningful and joyful, something wonderful begins to unfold.
Our coaching container includes:
A reflection tool to kick off our work.
A co-designed goal that we take seriously and hold lightly—a useful beacon as you unfold.
Meditation and somatic practices that support your goal.
Recommendations for relevant reading, videos, and learning opportunities.
Session notes that can be a springboard for journaling, integration, and further insights.
Email support.
Spot coaching—a short call between coaching sessions to uncover a next step.
Attuned to Your Purpose
Starting with What Matters
Maybe you know what matters most to you—or maybe you're still discovering it. We'll explore what lights you up, how your gifts meet the world's needs, and what's calling to you from underneath the noise. This work helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
We'll begin with a complimentary session to see whether we're a good fit. From there, we'll design a developmental goal that serves as a beacon as you unfold. Our work will be tailored to what matters most to you.
Working Together
If we decide to enter into this extraordinary space together, the coaching relationship begins with a three-month commitment to explore a burning question or developmental focus that can bring meaningful change to your life. We'll typically meet every other week, creating a rhythm that allows time for integration while maintaining momentum.
