How it works

Three steps. No homework.

1

Pick a time

Grab any open slot on my calendar. Mornings, evenings, weekends. Whenever suits you this week.

2

Pay $50, once

You pay when you book. Nothing gets charged next month, because there is no next month unless you want one.

3

Talk it out

Thirty minutes on video. Bring whatever has been rattling around your head. Leave with one clear move.

Want another one next week? Book it. Want to check back in three months? Book it then. You set the pace.

What a session feels like

Less structure.
More real talk.

This is not a program with worksheets and check-ins. It is a proper conversation. I ask the questions most people avoid, you think out loud, and somewhere around minute twenty the thing you have been circling usually gets obvious.

I help you open up your thinking, see your situation from a new angle, and pick the one step that actually changes something.

Bring anything

Habits & routine Training & health Work & direction Confidence Charisma Grit Momentum Presence Charm Poise A big decision Feeling stuck

No agenda needed. “I don’t know where to start” is a perfectly good place to start.

Low risk, on purpose

The worst case is you’re out fifty bucks.

$50

Paid once. No card kept on file for next month.

0

Subscriptions. Nothing renews. Nothing to cancel.

1

Session at a time. Book the next one only if you want it.

24h

To move it. Life happens. Reschedule from your confirmation email.

You already know what to do. I make sure you actually do it.

Your coach

Hey, I’m John.

Every day in May 2026 I climbed the Grouse Grind in North Vancouver. Rain, heat, a black bear on the trail, the days I did not want to leave the house. I still went, 31 days straight, and raised over $5,500 for BC Children’s and SickKids.

What got me up there was not willpower. It was having people in my corner. I started coaching because everyone needs someone in their corner, even if it is just for half an hour.

Quick questions

What actually happens in a session?

We jump on a video call for thirty minutes. You tell me what is going on, I ask good questions, and we work out one clear next step together. No forms to fill in beforehand.

Do I have to book more than one?

Nope. One session is a complete thing on its own. Some people come back weekly, some once a season, some once. All good.

How do I pay?

By card when you book, $50 CAD. It is a one-time payment, so nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel later.

What if I need to reschedule?

Use the link in your confirmation email to move it, with at least 24 hours' notice. Inside 24 hours or a no-show, the session is used.

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching: straight-talking conversation about your goals, habits and decisions. It isn’t therapy or medical advice, and it isn’t a replacement for either.

Who is it for?

Anyone 18 or over who feels stuck, restless, or ready for something to change and wants a straight-talking person to think it through with.

Your next move is thirty minutes away.

Pick a time that works for you. $50 CAD, no strings, no follow-up sales pitch.
