Everything you want
is on the other side of the work
If you’ve found your way here, chances are something in your life no longer fits:
A title. A marriage. A story you’ve outgrown. A story you need to tell, or live.
You’ve succeeded—on paper. But inside? Something’s restless. Something’s ready.
This is where we begin.
You’re navigating a threshold:
A career that no longer fuels you.
A relationship that’s asking more than you know how to give.
An identity that feels… brittle. Used up. Not you, not anymore.
You don’t need a productivity hack or another empty promise.
You need a place to stop pretending.
To drop the mask, drop into your body, and ask a better question.
Who are you now?
That’s the real work.
And it’s not about fixing anything—it’s about remembering, reimagining, rebuilding.
Most coaching plays on the surface—metrics, habits, goal-setting. All fine things. Not what I do.
I work underneath.
With the stuff most people avoid: stillness, power, sex and intimacy, fear, forgiveness, emotional fluency, trauma, the integration of shadow, and the art of choosing who you will be next.
We don’t avoid the mess. We step right into it.
If you’re here, you’re close.
The questions are already burning inside you.
But maybe you haven’t suffered enough yet, maybe the pain of not being fully you doesn’t burn like an acetylene torch in your soul.
That’s fine. Come back when it does, and we can begin.
Approach + Methodology
I don’t offer quick fixes or save you from yourself. This isn’t therapy or life coaching.
This is work at the level of identity—where the stories you’ve outgrown are rewritten, and the version of you that’s trying to emerge gets air to breathe.
This is rigorous, often uncomfortable, and absolutely worth it.
Because the alternative? Is staying stuck in a life that no longer fits.
Polarity & Paradox
You’ve seen the limits of either/or thinking.
You see it everywhere—entrenched sides, dug-in certainty, a refusal to hold complexity.
Culture-wide gridlock.
Personal confusion.
Conflict without resolution.
But here’s the thing:
That same rigid thinking runs silently in the background of your own life.
It shows up as “I need to grow my business”—as if where you are now has no value.
As if success means abandoning the present to chase some imagined future.
That’s the trap.
Real growth isn’t about leaping from “here” to “there.”
It’s about learning to hold both—where you are and where you’re going.
Polarity isn’t something to solve.
It’s something to dance with.
In this work, we don’t collapse complexity. We train you to stand inside it, with clarity, with presence, with the ability to choose instead of react.
This is where transformation happens.Not at the edges.
But in the tension between them.
The Body Knows
Before your mind forms a thought, your body has already spoken.
It knows when you’re bluffing.
It knows when you’re scared, lit up, about to make a choice that betrays you—or frees you.
The question is: Can you hear it?
And if you can… do you know what to do with what it’s telling you?
Most people are trained to override their bodies.
To live from the neck up.
To disconnect from the gut, the heart, the pulse of instinct and truth.
But you weren’t designed to live that way.
We’ll bring you back into your body—not just as a vessel, but as a source.
A compass.
A place where wisdom lives, not just ideas or top-down actions.
We’ll use simple, powerful practices to restore the connection between body and choice.
The result?
More clarity in high-stakes moments.
More peace in your nervous system.
Better sleep. Better sex.
A deeper knowing that doesn’t need to be proven—only trusted.
Fire of Awareness
You hear a lot about mindfulness. You can get a meditation app in thirty seconds.
You can take a class, download a PDF, burn some incense and pretend you’re calm.
But real awareness? It’s not calm. It’s not safe. It’s not pretty.
It’s clear.
And clarity doesn’t always feel good—especially when it shows you who you’re pretending to be.
As a Zen priest, I’ll tell you: not all meditation is created equal.
Have you ever been still enough to feel the silence underneath your thoughts?
To sit outside your name, your stories, your goals—and watch them flicker like shadows on a cave wall?
To witness yourself as a temporary figment of divine imagination?
Stillness is not the absence of movement.
It’s the presence of truth.
And most people are terrified of it.
But when you learn to sit in that space, you see yourself clearly.
And from there, everything becomes possible.
Testimonials
“I want you to know how much I have and do appreciate Keith, not only in the work he did with us, but also the honest and gifted person that he is. I have seen his beautiful flexibility flowing into the waters of the unknown in our business and taking responsibility when no one could even know what that responsibility was.”
Terri O’Fallon
Founder of STAGES International
“Keith is not afraid to cut with a sharper edge when needed. He takes transformational work out of the therapeutic "safe" container while being guided by heart that shows up big and committed to the deeper awareness that dwells in the core. I feel safer around Keith for the reason that he is willing to take risk, willing to say what is unsaid and to deliver it without compromise. His practice as a martial artist and Zen practitioner brings a grounded presence that supports a container in going toward what matters.”
Marco Chung-Shu Lam
Clinic Director of the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic
“Keith brings vast and diverse personal experience and insight to his work with men's issues.
He'll quietly listen and affirm the story we tell (ourselves and others) and when the moment is right, offer that sniper-like bolt of clarity that cuts through it all to the heart of the issue and provide the light that illuminates the path forward.
He’s an adept — a sherpa — that can aid your journey. One only need ask for his guidance.”
Casey Capshaw
Director of Operations, Strada
“He’s not just a wordsmith extraordinaire he’s the guy you want to have your back on a crucial project or professional conundrum. Keith’s clarity, subtlety, and grace inspire me as a writer, a reader, and an entrepreneur. But what truly makes him a cut above are his huge heart and fiercely clarifying presence.”
Angela Raines
Professional Writer
“Keith stands apart in his capacity to float fluently between constructive analysis of your work, and your more spiritual and psychological personality traits that are at play. He cuts through the nonsense to target precisely what’s holding you back.”
Katherine Armstrong
Attorney and Entrepreneur
“Keith brings a completely unique intensity and insight to his coaching. Quite simply, he was able to do more in less time than many therapists, coaches, and other professionals who have come in and out of my life over the last 25 years.”
Bill Brakemeier
Senior Trainer & Coach at CGI Franchise
“I am consistently impressed with Keith’s insight and ability to quickly deepen with others in a way that treads beyond the comfort zone but brings people with him. Keith has a great balance of grounded power and confidence and the capacity to reveal his own vulnerability. I am inspired by his dedication to his own evolution as much as his skill in contributing to the evolution of others.”
Eddie Konold
MA, LPC, CAC II
“The thing you need to know about Keith is that he has done and is doing the work himself every day. What does this mean for you? It means that you can expect no judgment, but also that his bullshit detector is on high. If you’re ready to dig in and get real, he’s your man.”
James Edwards
Chief Executive Officer, Drylands Agroecology Research
“Keith has always approached me from a solid grounding in his body, which helps land everything…right here. But it’s his own continued opening into the most vulnerable and raw places within his heart that has me so deeply trust him.
And it is all three together - wisdom, ground, heart - that has Keith being a man I turn to when I’m faced with the biggest challenges I have.”
Bryce Widom
Professional artist + transformational guide
“Keith’s in-depth understanding of human development really helped us cut quickly to key areas that are holding me back. His samurai sword of clarity and compassion helps me feel safe in our sessions, while his finely calibrated bullshit detector deftly uncovers where I’m fooling myself.”
Mark Bloomfield
former CEO Radiant Labs
"My experience co-facilitating, shoulder-to-shoulder with Keith continues to shift and grow as I witness him beautifully evolving as a man, a leader, and a skillful, courageous, heart-full facilitator. Keith possesses -- and continually refines -- his own rare blend of deep discipline (Zen and Kung Fu are in his bones), a humble and heart-centered practice in relationship to other humans, and a fierceness of sight and challenge that is matched only by his love of laughter and connection. If you're looking for a unique, powerful, insightful, skilled, and loving guide, look no further ."
Jeffrey James Howard
MA, LPC, Soul Guide
“Keith has committed himself to the kind of work that most dare not — he has acknowledged complicated truths that shine light on uncomfortable corners of my reality that demand attention, once seen. He rings the bell that cannot be unrung. He’ll go the edge with you and guide you gracefully beyond it because he’s been there himself… and for this I am infinitely grateful for his presence in my life.”
