Coaching
helping you give your gift to the world.
“Working with Joshua feels like school, but for your soul.
Joshua just knows how to bring light into you.”
My why.
As a coach, my mission is to guide you through a journey of self-discovery, growth, and meaningful change. Drawing on the principles of Socrates’ maieutic method and Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, my approach helps you uncover the truths and purpose that already reside within you. Together, we will explore not just how to achieve your goals, but why those goals matter to you — creating a deep and lasting connection between your actions and your core values, between your present and your future.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
What is the maieutic method?
Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Socrates, the maieutic method — or “the art of midwifery” — is a powerful tool for facilitating personal transformation. Just as a midwife helps a mother give birth to a child, I use this method to help you “give birth” to the insights, clarity, and solutions that already exist within you.
The maieutic method is not about me providing you with answers or quick fixes. Rather, it’s about creating a safe, reflective space where we engage in deep, thought-provoking conversations. Through targeted, open-ended questions, we explore your beliefs, values, and actions, uncovering the layers of meaning and possibility that may have been obscured by everyday distractions.
By the end of our work together, you won’t just have new strategies or techniques — you’ll have a deeper understanding of who you are, what truly drives you, and how to align your actions with your deepest truths.
What People Are Saying
I recently participated in Joshua’s 90-day coaching program. What a transformative experience! I’ve been in a professional transition and trying to figure out which direction to go, and Joshua’s coaching was exactly the kind of guidance I needed. I love how intuitively he approaches his work—it never felt like we were sticking rigidly to a template. He was able to draw from a wide-range of tools and modalities to custom-fit a program just for me. In addition to his beautiful mix of intelligence, kindness, and wisdom well-beyond his years, Joshua is a very committed listener and pays deep and careful attention. With his guidance, I was able to do some very valuable inner healing and connect with my higher self, which has long been a missing link in my personal/spiritual development. Joshua is an incredibly gifted coach and guide—I strongly and enthusiastically recommend him!

Being a working mom of 3 littles between the ages of 2-8, living in a house under construction, and trying to start a life project - I got overwhelmed and had spiraled a bit and couldn’t seem to find the path forward to doing. I saw Joshua’s post, and thought, ‘Sure, this might help.’ I knew I needed help getting to the ‘doing’. We met weekly* (*He was flexible and had an organized calendar - so if life came up - then we could coordinate alternatives) by phone for a couple of months. He is punctual, time-conscious, and sends feedback forms to help track progress and touch base ahead of the weekly meetings. He offered supportive reminders mid-week if requested, which was great because I would get so sidetracked. Joshua is a great listener who provides thoughtful and well-rounded feedback. He comes with a broad, compassionate, well-traveled, and cultured background. He helped set up manageable goals to help get me back on track. I would very much recommend Joshua as a coach. I can feel the positive results. His coaching catalyzed my organization and being able to step back from the constrictive overwhelming space where my mind/emotions go and flow into creative unrestrictive spaces. I finally took a Bomba dancing course because of his encouragement! It was a very grounding and heart-centered experience.

I can confidently describe Josh’s style as both effective and unparalleled in its value. For more years than I could count, I’ve struggled with behaviors that I thought I was enslaved to; between Josh’s incredibly authentic presence, his phenomenal listening skills, skillful questions, and creative suggestions, he creates an environment where you can’t help but open up and think deeply about the source of your issues, identify the triggers, and help you set your own plan to overcome them. Josh reliably fulfilled his role as an accountability coach and ensured I stayed consistent with the behaviors.
It goes without saying that Josh’s dedication and commitment to his craft are special. His wealth of knowledge and expertise in the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual realms equips him to be personable to anyone who reaches out to him. Unlike some unfortunate imitators who dilute the pool of effective coaches, Josh sets himself apart as ‘the real deal’.

I can’t emphasize enough as to how amazing Joshua is. As an accountability coach, he helped me tackle my biggest adversary and quit porn. No matter how much I tried to block the sites, quit social media, and ask friends to be my accountability coaches, I’d at most abstain for a week days and fall back into that same routine. When Josh took on that role, he showed me how if I didn’t understand why I was doing what I was doing, that I’ll always be compelled to go back to it. As I write this review, I’m currently two months sober and am excited to keep up the good work.
Josh, it goes without saying that I, like so many others, owe a great debt. If you’re reading this, I want you to know you’re a one of a kind.
Thank you.

How Does This Work in Practice?
-
Exploration & Self-Examination
In this phase, we dive deep into your beliefs, habits, and perceptions. I ask questions that encourage you to reflect on your past experiences, your current circumstances, and the underlying patterns that shape your behavior. This step can sometimes feel uncomfortable, as it involves challenging your assumptions and confronting limiting beliefs. But it’s a critical step in the process of self-discovery.
For example, I might ask:
What do you believe is holding you back from achieving your true potential?
How have past experiences shaped the way you see yourself and your abilities?
What is the gap between where you are and where you want to be?
-
Clarity & Insight
As we work together, you’ll begin to unearth the deeper truths and insights that already lie within you. Through dialogue, I help you clarify your purpose, values, and vision for the future. In this phase, I guide you to connect your goals to a higher sense of meaning, moving beyond surface-level achievements to a place where your actions align with your core identity.
Here, we may draw inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, which emphasizes the importance of finding meaning in life, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Frankl believed that meaning can be found in every situation, and by uncovering your unique sense of purpose, you’ll be empowered to navigate challenges with resilience and determination.
We’ll ask questions like:
What deeper meaning does this goal hold for you?
How can you connect this goal to your life’s purpose?
In what ways can you turn obstacles into opportunities for growth?
-
Action & Transformation
With newfound clarity and insight, we move into the final phase: taking purposeful action. But this isn’t just about setting goals and making plans. It’s about identifying the behavioral shifts that need to happen to align your actions with your newfound understanding of self and purpose.
I’ll support you in creating a concrete, actionable plan that reflects your values and aspirations. Together, we’ll break down these actions into manageable steps, ensuring that each one feels authentic and aligned with your larger vision for life.
Frankl’s logotherapy teaches that we find meaning in life through action — by living according to our values and embracing personal responsibility. This phase is about creating the life you want by consciously choosing the direction of your actions and taking responsibility for the choices you make.
Why it works.
The method.
What sets my coaching practice apart is the blend of two powerful methodologies: the maieutic method and logotherapy. While the maieutic method guides you in uncovering the wisdom within yourself, logotherapy adds a layer of meaning that transcends the surface-level answers by linking the purpose you uncover within your soul to a higher purpose.
By connecting your goals to a greater sense of purpose, we ensure that your actions not only bring results but also align with your true values, leading to long-term fulfillment and growth by allowing you to give your gift to the world.
Both methods empower you to become the best version of yourself — not by giving you answers or telling you what to do, but by helping you discover what lies within, challenge limiting beliefs, and take meaningful action toward the life you desire rooted in truth, beauty, and goodness.
why it works.
the power of commitment.
12 Sessions, 3 Months
True transformation takes time. In my coaching practice, I follow a structured format of 12 sessions over a 3-month period to ensure that you experience lasting, meaningful change. This format is designed to provide the depth, consistency, and reflection needed to create sustainable results.
Why 12 Sessions?
Change doesn’t happen overnight. While we can make significant progress in a single session, true transformation comes through consistent, focused effort over time. The 12-session structure is based on the understanding that real growth occurs when you have the space to reflect, implement, and refine what we discuss together. This format provides:
Time for Reflection and Integration: Each session builds upon the last, giving you time to process insights and integrate them into your daily life.
A Structured Progression: Over the course of 3 months, we move through different phases of self-discovery, goal setting, and behavioral transformation. This process allows us to break through deep-rooted challenges and create lasting change.
Sustained Accountability: With a fixed commitment, you receive continuous support, feedback, and accountability, which increases your chances of achieving your goals.
Real, Lasting Results: The intensity and commitment required for this format lead to tangible, measurable progress. True change is not just about quick fixes — it’s about shifting your mindset, deepening your self-awareness, and making long-term adjustments to how you approach life and work.
The Commitment to Yourself
The 12-session, 3-month commitment is not just a schedule — it’s a commitment to yourself and your personal growth. It requires that you show up, be willing to explore, and be open to challenging yourself. This structured approach is designed for individuals who are ready to put in the work and stay committed to the process of transformation.
In this space, we don’t focus on surface-level fixes. We focus on profound shifts that create lasting impact — from overcoming mental blocks to aligning your actions with your purpose. The process is both challenging and rewarding, and the results speak for themselves.
If you're ready to take full ownership of your growth and commit to the process, then the 12-session structure is designed to guide you every step of the way. Together, we will unlock your potential, break through barriers, and create the life you’ve always desired.
