I specialize in the science of joy and I'm dedicated to helping people cultivate and expand their capacity for joy, regardless of their circumstances.

Catalyst for Change

As human beings, we seek joy and fulfillment. As a personal coach, I act as a catalyst to help my clients develop their personal philosophies and build the emotional fortitude needed to uphold their most cherished ideals and goals. Through this process, clients gain greater alignment with reality, leading to a deeper sense of joy and fulfillment.

**Unique Blend of Expertise**

With over 21 years of experience in personal coaching, a doctorate in immunology, a medical degree, a passion for reading literature and philosophy, and 11 years of experience helping people navigate life-threatening health challenges; I bring a unique blend of expertise in coaching, neuroscience, immunology, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, metaphor, and self-expression to my work.
We live in a world with objective features, but our experience is subjective. As I carefully help you tease the objective from the subjective, you will experience more internal freedom and be better able to navigate objective reality. With this newly found freedom, you will find that you can more easily approach your life with the perspective of a scientist and the passion of an artist.

**Losing Everything**

I also know loss. I have seen nearly everything that I built destroyed. What I found was that no matter the extent of the loss (career, security, community, ability to practice medicine, marriage, …), I was still grateful to have my life. What resulted was a self that is centered upon my love for life. I like to help people find this joyful perspective, without the loss. As I help you expand your experience of joy, you can then apply your joy to any situation, good or bad.

Diversity

I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including business leaders and high-level government officials who oversaw hundreds of employees; a world-renowned engineer; as well as physicians, mothers, fathers, explorers, and entrepreneurs. The coaching tools that I use can be applied to anyone in any situation; even yours. A beautiful thing about joy is that its possibilities are infinite. Thus, we can always seek to deepen our experience of joy.

Passion

Together, we find the embers of your passion for life and blow on them until your life is transmuted by this passion.

About Me

What drives me?

I discovered early on that searching for truth and exploring the nature of love propel me. Indeed, these values are important enough to me that I’m willing to enter extremely challenging circumstances in order to uphold and explore these values. I took responsibility for the lives of others in my work as a physician. I forwent a promising career in academic medicine to pursue a deeper philosophical understanding of human life and to help others with similar pursuits. I held onto my love for life despite experiencing severe loses. Our values are tested when we experience strife. I found that I continued to search for truth and continued to explore the nature of love in nearly all circumstances.

Pursuing Love

I feel my best when I am helping people. This is one reason that I decided to become a physician. It is also the reason that I coach. As a physician, I would help cultivate a biological state in the body that supported life, healing, and, hopefully, a body state that people could use to pursue their dreams. As a coach, I help people find the perspective, courage, and strength to use their precious life in a way that is meaningful to them; even within the profound complexities of life that we all experience. I help people discover a love for life that is not dependent upon their results, their station, how they are esteemed, who loves them, nor who shares their beliefs. Love is something that we carry with us wherever we go and is available for us to apply to any situation. However, fears and misunderstandings can make it difficult to find perspective. Sometimes we need external perspectives to help us in our quest for wisdom and love. If you want, I can provide an external perspective to help you on your quest, as others provided me.

Testimonials

“I’ve grown my business tremendously over the past few years, and I credit Brandon’s coaching with a lot of my success. He’s helped me become stronger in sales, and he’s helped me become a more emotionally intelligent leader of my team and my clients. I highly recommend his services to other business owners who want to unlock more success.”

Entrepreneur
“I feel like my heart is really healing!”

Physician
“I started working with Brandon over a year ago on a bi-weekly basis. He has been an exceptional guide, helping me navigate my perceptions and experiences through exploration, in an effort to find my own self-esteem and responsibility for my life. I find him to be a rational and gentle adviser and have seen great transformation in my life as a result, both professional and personal. I fully recommend Brandon to anyone who is seeking to explore their own minds with someone who can do so with compassion and wisdom.”

Entrepreneur
“My entire life I’ve tried to do all the “right” things to feel the love and fulfillment I’ve wanted. National-level swimming competitions, an Ivy League MBA, the most amazing friends, meditation retreats, plant medicine, and social justice causes—I’ve racked up an epic list. In just one deep exploration, Brandon helped me discover and integrate that the love I’ve wanted comes only from inside myself and flows into those things—not the other way around! Since then I have felt an incredible blossoming of joy as I released my grip on my expectations of others and redirected my attention to feeling my own love internally, and then bringing it to the world from there. Thank you Brandon; I will never be the same."

Entrepreneur
“Well, I don’t know what you did to me, but once again it’s been very helpful. I’m much more connected and present and have much more control over my fear/love/confidence and letting go. I’m much more in reality with what's needed right now and less lost in future fantasies or unnecessary non-sense. You helped me see clearly and problem solve better, too. Thank you!”

Personal Trainer
"Brandon has been an integral part of my support system for many years. When I face challenges in my life and my relationships, he helps me as I seek to understand the situation. His impressively pure and non-judgmental compassion has brought me to tears many times. I am now able to extend that compassion to myself and to others. Through my talks with Brandon I have also developed a huge increase in my ability to be honest with myself. I have a much easier time understanding how I feel, which helps me be so much more authentic and comfortable in my relationships."

Client with Relationship Goals
"As a father, I want to be the best parent I possibly can. But, to be honest, I don’t always show up for my kids as a patient, compassionate dad. I notice my own negative patterns and bring them to Brandon. He’s helped me grow so that a lot of the things that used to trigger me don’t bug me (or at least a lot less). It means the world to me to become a kinder, more loving dad to my children."

Father of Two
"For a couple of months, I had been experiencing self-doubt, feelings of defeat, fear of being wrong and not being liked by people at work. I knew, deep down, that the answer was inside of me but I had been unable to reach it and find joy. Today´s session allowed me to go deep inside myself and remember that the joy, the magic and the meaning in my life is mine alone, it lives inside of me and it is there for me to take and experience anytime I desire. I had forgotten this and I was allowing the exterior world to shape my own perception. I value immensely that I am able to reconnect with my best self, to experience my love, fearlessness and humanity."

Theater Producer
"Brandon’s sharp and perceptive mind has helped me cut through my mental clutter countless times. He is playful yet very direct, and the clarity he helps me find brings me relief. That clarity is also scary because it shows me that my next steps are taking real live action rather than staying stuck in my head! It is very freeing to be able to so swiftly navigate my business decisions."
