Great question. The term coach is widely interpreted and can be quite confusing. I have a short blog for this topic here.

Something has brought you here, which is already a start. If you are fully motivated to make lasting change and work towards a specific goal or topic, then it is recommended that you dive into a Personalized Package as a great starting place. We will hone in on what it truly is that you want and help you achieve it over three plus months.
Still unsure? Then book a free Discovery Call to learn more.

Joe’s formal accreditation is from Integral Coaching Canada, Inc. and he is also currently enrolled in the coaching program at Aletheia, in order to diversify and expand his offerings. Aletheia was born out of an integral program and describes itself as “integral unfoldment.” Joe is attracted to Aletheia’s cutting edge coaching methodology, most notably the depth at which it can traverse with clients.
Joe works with what is most alive in the present moment and can also keep an eye on the overall big picture.

Joe does not have a “5-step plan” to get you what you want. He weaves together his teachings from Integral Coaching Canada, Aletheia Coaching and his own personal intuitive approach. This combination leaves significant (and necessary) space for your unique individuality and involves working with the constantly changing lives we lead. Putting someone in a program or system may yield specific results, but it rarely allows for the full unfoldment of a unique human being. Joe believes that this is where the magic, passion, joy and flow of life is attained.

This truly depends on you and your topic. Some people will never quit working with Joe, as they see value in always having a partner to explore what is arising. When you start to see that life can keep getting better, deeper and more meaningful, it can be helpful to keep the momentum of this work going. Humans often tend to fall back into patterns if we do not fully embody change and self-awareness (our neural plasticity is efficient and does not prefer change).
The majority of those who have not worked with Joe will likely choose a package that will run for three to six months. These would involve weekly or biweekly calls, ensuring that your self-awareness is deepening and moving closer to meeting your future with open arms. You might be sufficiently pleased at this state and want to pause to integrate.

All calls will be held via Zoom at this time. Joe will send you a private link before each call and you may have the option to record the session, if desired.

The Discovery Call is free and it is highly recommended that everyone start here.
The most popular package starts at $1,200 (CAD), which includes six sessions.
Individual sessions range in fees, but are generally $200/hour. These are exclusively for those who have already worked with Joe, although certain exceptions might be made (please inquire).
Possessing a certain level of commitment is a big reason why we need to work together for a period of time before unscheduled calls can occur more easily. Our personal conditioning (defences) can be quite sneaky and rigid, so we want to ensure we commit to a process together. For example, it’s fairly widely known that most people fall off the wagon on a New Year’s Resolution. We will keep habit formation principles in mind as we work together. Atomic Habits is a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about this.

Many people who work with Joe say they feel lighter at the end of each call. While this is not necessarily something to celebrate (yet), it does open you up to other viewpoints and with more trust and ease in the coming days. This will help you become aware of your patterns almost immediately, yet embodiment to work with those does take time. If you turn off a fan, it takes time for it to be still. Results will depend on how many fans we want to work with. :)

Joe is available for speaking engagements, which can be customized for your needs; however from a coaching standpoint, Joe solely works with individuals.
In the future, Joe plans to create courses or programs that might be well-suited for groups.
