Brian is a Certified Hakomi Practitioner offering mindfulness-centered somatic guidance

to clients in Oregon and Washington. He completed his two-year intensive training through the Seattle Hakomi Education Network and continues to receive ongoing supervision and consultation from senior faculty and long-term mentors.

His work is grounded in more than two decades of mindfulness practice, which began in

his early twenties with formal contemplative training in esoteric Buddhism. It has since

deepened through ongoing multi-tradition spiritual inquiry and somatic-based personal

growth and healing. The transformative impact of these practices on his own life

inspired him to transition from his earlier careers as a multidisciplinary artist and

horticulturist to becoming a Certified Hakomi Practitioner.

 

As a neurodivergent adult with autism and ADHD, Brian integrates lived experience with

specialized training in nervous-system regulation and ADHD coaching. In addition to

working for Ripple, he co-owns Deep Work with his wife (where they offer Hakomi,

couples coaching, and spiritual guidance) and works for the state of Oregon as a

Personal Support Worker, supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities

in home and community settings.

 

Brian brings compassion and creativity, alongside practical, grounded tools, to help

clients cultivate safety and trust, guiding them to feel more fully, discover new

possibilities, and move toward greater freedom and inner peace.
