Meet Greg
HOW IN THE WORLD DID I END UP HERE?
Have you ever looked back on your life, paused and asked yourself that very question? The joys, sorrows, achievements, failures, twists and turns….this life—what a ride! The journey I’ve been on has sculpted me in a way that makes me feel beyond grateful for it all. For my first forty plus years on this planet, the name of the game for me was solely on “achievement”. Having spent so much of this time as a competitive athlete, NCAA college hockey player/coach and a corporate sales guy, this was the lay of the land for me. Score the goal, win the game, meet the sales numbers and all was just fine. My high achieving way had served me well in so many aspects of my life. It taught me the value of discipline and hard work. I became more resilient in the face of challenges.
SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE
That driven way of being served me well—until it didn’t. When goals went unmet, my inner critic took over, running the show with self-judgment, doubt, and fear of failure. Over time, that mindset took its toll, and my mental health began to decline. When depression and anxiety appeared, my life took a significant turn. I made a conscious choice to nurture my body, mind, and spirit through daily yoga and mindfulness meditation. These practices have transformed my life in ways that are hard to describe. Old, unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior have softened, and intention, awareness, and intuition now guide my decisions. Mindfulness has helped quiet my inner critic, bring more flow into my days, and allow me to show up as my best self—in life, work, and relationships. I’m still the fiercely driven, achievement-oriented person I’ve always been—the difference now is that I move forward with less fear and attachment to outcome. And that’s made all the difference.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
My mission is to guide clients toward greater happiness, peace, and well-being across mind, body, and spirit. I am committed to empowering individuals and groups in corporate and athletic environments to unlock their full potential by enhancing cognitive performance, emotional intelligence, resilience, focus, and flow. Recognizing the preciousness of life, I strive to support people in living with passion, vitality, and purpose—transforming their personal and professional lives to achieve their highest aspirations.
