Hello, I’m Brayden

I help people explore the deeper architecture of who they are. A lifetime of practicing mindfulness has trained me to notice the fine details of a person’s interior life: the way an instinct rises, the way an old story reasserts itself, the way a quiet longing tries to speak. Awareness becomes a kind of instrument. With it, we begin to see the many layers that make up a human being.

Much of my work centers on dimensionality. People are not a single fixed identity; they are a constellation. There is a younger self who learned certain strategies for safety, a present self navigating the demands of adulthood, and a future self taking shape in the distance. There are parts that protect, parts that imagine, parts that resist, and parts that are ready to move. When we explore these dimensions with care, a person begins to understand themselves as a living system with depth and coherence.

I am also drawn to the study of human potential. I believe that people carry capacities that often remain dormant because they have never been named, seen, or given room to grow. Coaching becomes a place where these capacities can surface. We look at the habits that once served a purpose but may now limit movement. We study the impulses that are trying to guide the next phase of life. We examine the places where a person is already more capable, more grounded, and more imaginative than they realize.

Shadow work is part of this examination. It asks us to turn toward the parts of ourselves that have been waiting in the margins, to understand their origins and their intentions. When these parts are recognized and given space, a person becomes more whole. 

Coaching with me often feels like an inner expedition. We explore the terrain as it actually is. We become attentive to the traces of the past, the movements of the present, and the signals coming from the future self that is already beginning to form. The work invites clarity, honesty, and a sense of genuine possibility as a person steps toward who they are becoming.
