Someone who can actually hold your hand. Or hold the reins.
Most people who talk business have either the numbers or the soul. I spent twenty years getting both. An MBA earned after a year sitting in ceremony — because I wanted to understand the way business actually works in man’s world, not just wish it were gentler. More than 200 businesses across nearly every industry. Strategy, operations, revenue, the unglamorous middle where things actually get built or quietly die.
I’m the person you bring in when you need someone senior enough to see the whole board — and trusted enough to hand the reins to.
WHY THE MBA AFTER THE MOUNTAIN?
I could have stayed in ceremony. A lot of people in my world did. But I watched too many gifted healers, coaches, and purpose-driven founders go broke doing sacred work — brilliant at the medicine, lost in the money. Beautiful gift, empty calendar.
But I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so business is in my blood. I started a business at 10 years old. So I sharpened my skills in business while my practices helped me find peace within myself. The MBA, the operations, the revenue mechanics, the way deals and systems and teams actually move. Not to abandon the spirit — to be able to translate for the ones who only speak one language.
That’s what I bring into a business. The strategist who can talk margins and funnels with a straight face, and the person who can feel where the thing is actually stuck — which, more often than not, isn’t the spreadsheet. It’s the founder’s story about what they’re worth. I can see both, because I’ve spent a career in both rooms.
WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
The right engagement depends entirely on where you are and what’s breaking. Here’s the range of how I work — but the honest answer is usually something we design together on a call.
Strategy & Clarity
When you’re too close to see the board. We find what’s actually running the business – and what’s actually running you – and build a plan you can execute. Sometimes one session is the whole unlock.
Fractional Executive
Done-with-you operations, revenue, and systems. I step in as a senior hand – building the infrastructure, running the plays, getting your machine to work without you breathing on it constantly.
Sales Leadership
For healers, coaches, and retreat leaders with a real gift and an empty calendar. I recently filled the retreats for a fellow healer – the strategy that turns “beautiful work nobody’s booking” into a full container.
Hold The Reins
Sometimes you don’t need a strategy — you need to be able to leave. A trusted operator to run your shop for a week so you can take the vacation, sit the ceremony, or just breathe, and come back to a business that’s still standing. This is the one almost nobody offers, because almost nobody’s trustworthy enough to.
WHO I AM NOW
I’ve spent twenty years sitting with people who look fine and aren’t — 2,500+ paid hours in the room, more than 200 businesses through my hands. Board-certified addiction coach, MBA, ordained minister, Reiki Master, and a shamanic practitioner trained across two decades. I don’t keep those worlds in separate drawers. They meet in every engagement, which is why the strategy goes deeper than most consultants reach and lands more practically than most spiritual work ever does.
I was also the drowning man. I built nonprofits for kids, raised over $4M for youth programs, and still couldn’t sleep on rainy nights. I know what it costs to build something real while carrying something heavy. That’s not a weakness I hide from clients — it’s the reason they trust me with the reins.
I’m not advising you from the far shore. I’ve been in the current, running the business and carrying the weight, and I know where the footing is.
And at 7 feet tall , I´m literally a shoulder to cry on and a hand to lift you up, depending on where you are. I also speak Spanish.
MANIFESTO
Every business has a soul, and it’s usually the thing you’ve been ignoring. Strategy that honors your bottom line but not your purpose burns you out. Purpose that honors your soul but not your numbers goes broke. Real, durable success needs both in the same room — which means it needs someone who can hold both without dropping either.
That’s the work. Not choosing between the mystic and the MBA, but bridging them both so the person at the center can earn the success they deserve and sleep at night.
IF YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO SEES THE WHOLE BOARD
You don’t have to know exactly what you need. Most people don’t when they reach out — figuring out what’s actually broken is half the value. Start with a conversation. We’ll find the real problem, and I’ll tell you straight whether I’m the right person to help with it.
Testimonials
Patrick is the most empathetic and intuitive person I’ve ever met. He has a gentle way of speaking, but you can tell there’s great wisdom behind his words.
Patrick helped me make the connections that I was struggling with and once I figured that out, everything started falling into place. I had so much anxiety about everything that had I had to do, but we broke it down and I was able to achieve everything. I’m now my own boss.
Over the years I’ve worked with several therapist and coaches, but working with Patrick has been far and away the most meaningful. I finally feel at peace with what happened and can live my life free of shame.
When I first met Patrick nearly 3 years ago, I was down and out without any clear direction or structure. He created a safe place for me to share whatever my circumstances. Within 30 days of meeting Patrick, my life started to change. He helped me create a roadmap for success with results-oriented goals at the forefront.
Coach Pat is very professional, personable, organized, and knowledgeable. He has helped me improve my business and personal life in ways I hadn’t even thought of. My goals for both seem more attainable with the specific implementation plans he suggested. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to improve things in their personal and business lives!
Patrick has been seeing our teenage son for the last few months and he’s already shown so much improvement. Patrick is patient, kind, amazingly positive and compassionate. Our son is practicing his mantra that he and Patrick came up with, when he starts feeling insecure or negative about his appearance. We are so grateful to have access to Patrick’s much needed services and definitely recommend him for anyone who needs life coaching.
From the moment I began speaking, Patrick understood where I was coming from, which helped me relax and discover what was holding me back. He helped me get right to the root of my problem which was something I was told as a child – that isn’t even true today. This was the most powerful shift in my life and today I’m living the life of my dreams.
When I began working with Patrick, I was comfortable in my 9-5 job but knew I wanted more. Starting a coaching practice of my own was something I always wanted to do but I something always got in the way. Patrick created a safe space for me to open up about my insecurities around being an entrepreneur and a coach.
Patrick had the tools and the experience to help me reclaim power over my life as well as my career. As many of the fears would begin to creep back in, Patrick would help keep me focused with great tools and insight on growing a successful practice. I would recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking to develop the courage it takes to become an entrepreneur.
Patrick always asked the right questions, challenged me to face my inner critic, and had enough empathy for me to know when I needed patience. Throughout our journey together I faced some deeply rooted traumas that were holding me back from being successful in my business.
Patrick has been instrumental to my growth and I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in finding out what is blocking their success, as well as finding their life’s purpose.
