You’ve done a lot of work.
Why do you still feel stuck?
You’re not broken. There’s a reason your insights haven't translated into lasting change.
You’ve been trying to shift patterns from the wrong place.

When Insight Isn't Enough.
You’re aware. You understand your patterns.
But awareness alone hasn’t changed them.
You’ve done therapy, coaching, retreats, maybe even psychedelics.
Some of it helped.
But you’ve hit a plateau.
If that resonates, you're in the right place.
Where Change Actually Happens
When you’re emotionally flooded, it can be hard to stay present.
When you’re numb, everything feels flat and distant.
What’s missing is not more effort.
It’s working from a state of consciousness where patterns can shift.
There is a way of doing inner work that creates a felt sense of stability and sovereignty.
From that place, change becomes possible. Not because you push harder, but because your nervous system is regulated enough to support it.
The Journey
I help you hear your internal wisdom more clearly. It's more coherent than you may realize.
A Somatic BreakThrough Journey is a safe, guided, non-substance, psychedelic-like exploration. It follows a clear arc: access, attunement, dialogue, repair, integration.
In this state, we work directly with what arises in your nervous system, moving between sensation and meaning with clarity and precision. When those reorganize, behavior follows.
The Experience
A Somatic BreakThrough Journey heightens inner perception without loss of agency.
The process is contained, coherent, and grounded in your life.
You leave with clarity, agency, and embodied next steps.

What Clients Experience
“Professionals need a safe space to work through their own boundaries, blocks, and belief systems. We need space to clarify values and actively repattern the nervous system from early conditioning.
James has a rare capacity to listen beyond surface patterns into root causes. He creates a grounded, nurturing space where deep work unfolds safely and precisely.”

What Clients Experience
“What stood out immediately was James’ clarity about his role and the structure of the work. He was explicit about the goal and the somatic, lived process used to reach it. The experience felt honed.
I’m comfortable analyzing my patterns, but struggle to feel them deeply. This session moved me beyond analysis into embodied experience. It was intense, but I never felt out of control. I felt held.”

What Clients Experience
“Starting BreakThrough work with James was a pivotal decision. As someone who strongly identified with the caretaker role, I struggled to honor my own needs and hold boundaries clearly.
James holds space for deep healing with precision. His understanding of somatics allows him to move seamlessly with what arises. The work helped me reclaim energy and strengthen my capacity to show up in my work.”

What Clients Experience
“James prepares thoroughly and creates a clear container before going deep. He understands somatic work at a high level and guides it with precision.
The session was intense, but I felt safe throughout. I accessed strength I had been avoiding and charted a practical path forward. It had a major impact.”
