Care is at the center
of everything I do.

My work takes many forms: spiritual guidance, integration coaching for life and business, animal care, meaningful gatherings, and thoughtful digital work. At its heart, I help people navigate change, deepen connection, and bring what matters most into form and daily life.

Communities I Serve and Learn With

My work is shaped by ongoing training, lived experience, and service within communities devoted to healing,
peer support, and spiritual exploration.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Different doorways. Care at the center.

You may arrive through a life transition, a spiritual awakening, concern for an animal you love, or meaningful work
you are ready to bring into the world. I meet each with presence, practical wisdom, and respect for your own way forward.

MEET SCOTT

My work grew from the life I have lived.

It has been shaped by parenting, leadership, entrepreneurship, spiritual searching, caring for animals, and walking alongside people through difficult seasons.

I have been shaped by my experiences of loss, chronic pain, mental health challenges, spiritual transformation, and a near-death experience. These experiences did not give me answers for other people. They taught me how to remain present, listen beneath the surface, and honor each person’s way of making meaning for themselves.

Today, I bring relational presence, practical wisdom, and the perspective of lived experience to the people and animals I care for—and to the meaningful work I help them bring into form. I am not here to direct another person’s life. I am here to help them see it more clearly—and meet it more completely.

“The deepest thread of my life has been learning that we each have our own journey, and by sharing mine, I can assist others to find theirs.”

Presence first. Then the next honest step.

Some paths are meant to be shared.

Not all of my work happens one-to-one. I also create and participate in spaces and gatherings
where lived experience can be spoken, witnessed, and explored in community.

Attend a Gathering

Gatherings and circles offer a different kind of support: no fixing, no hierarchy, and no pressure to have everything figured out. We listen, speak from experience, and make room for what is on our hearts.

Read and Reflect

I write about grief, mental health, spiritual transformation, chronic pain, caregiving, and the ordinary work of becoming more fully human. This writing includes my personal integration process and ongoing learning.

Listen and Watch

Through interviews, conversations, and personal storytelling, I explore near-death experience, integration, meaning, and the ways spiritual change enters everyday life. I am always open to different perspectives.

Different types of support. The quality of care remains.

Whether I am accompanying someone through transition, caring for a beloved animal, or helping bring meaningful work into form,
the measure is the same: how the person felt met, what became clearer, and what the experience made possible.

  • I had the pleasure of having Scott create my website, he listened carefully to what I wanted and was a joy to work with! I am very happy with my website and people love it!

    Scott’s attention to detail and his patience with my process was incredible, I highly recommend Scott to anyone who wants a website guy that knows his stuff, listens to what you want, has the ability to bring it into form and is always ready to help with any problems that may arise.

    If you’re in need of a website, Scott is your guy!

    Scott was amazing and we absolutely cannot recommend him highly enough! You can tell how much he truly enjoys being with animals. He took such great care of our senior pup, comforting her during thunderstorms and making sure she ate. He was very communicative and sent just the right number of pics/updates. He also took equally amazing care of our house.

    He has been our favorite sitter so far and anyone would be lucky to have him!

    Scott did an exemplary job of creating my new website. It really turned out to be more of a collaboration, with Scott constructing the architecture while continuously consulting me for my preferences with regards to the layout, color scheme and content. We worked together to get everything just the way I wanted it. I’m extremely pleased with the results. During the process Scott coined the memory hook: “Found, Forged and Reimagined” which I’m now using on my advertising materials. Since my site went online, I’ve had numerous compliments upon its appearance and ease of navigation. I’m convinced that this advertising tool will do wonders for promoting my work and my name as an artist.

You don’t need to have it all
figured out to begin.

If something here speaks to where you are—personally, spiritually, in caring for
an animal you love, or in bringing meaningful work into form—reach out. We can
begin with a conversation and discover whether working together feels right.
