John’s personal life

His best buddy Lola loves to join John on retreats and has the distinct title of lead love ambassador. John believes laughter is medicine and enjoys standup comedy, he will also never shy away from a dad joke. John makes his home in San Diego California but loves to travel, especially to Bali where he has found a second home.

Mindset Shift Coaching

What is it?

John is an expert at helping people become a master of their most important asset, their mind. All high-achieving and joyous people have one thing in common, they have mastered their mindset.

John will give you the tools to become a master of how you think. How you think affects literally every aspect of your life. How you think is responsible for how you feel, how you act, how you make decisions and how you interact with others. John will take you into the science of how your brain works and why so many of us feel like victims to the thoughts in our minds.

John has distilled years of study in neuroscience, yoga, stoicism, buddhism and his own experimentation with meditation, breathwork, plant medicine and various eastern and western therapies into an easy to understand roadmap of how to become a better, more positive thinker. He will teach you the practical tools that took hime from burnt out, depressed and addicted to calm, present, positive and hyper-optimistic.

Let’s Connect!

As a former journalist I LOVE people’s stories — I think one of the great gifts of being human is the opportunity to simply talk to another human and find out a bit about them. If you’re reading this, I would love to get to know you! No pressure to buy anything. I simply love to support people on their journey towards a happier and healthier life, whatever that looks like for you. If you’re curious about coaching, a retreat, or other ways we can work together, I would love to hear about that too. Time and attention are precious gifts, I’d be honored to receive them from you!

Mindset Shift Retreats

Ready a life-changing adventure? A well run retreat is one that delivers on the promise of transformation. Our retreats aren’t a vacation with a bit of yoga thrown in. They are a full buffet of transformative workshops and experiences designed to leave you saying “wow, I’m SO glad I did that.” We teach ancient practices through the lens of modern science with an emphasis on how we can impart change to our unique lives and challenges. This is a loving invitation into challenge — it’s an invitation back to yourself that will leave you with a formula of how to keep you there.
