Let me cut to the chase! John is a thoughtful listener who has insight and knowledge of real-world tools to manage stress, anxiety, and anger. These are my challenges but he clearly knows more than I’ve requested. As a skeptical man myself, please understand when I say: “Worth every penny!” If you need a change in your life, then talk with John for his kind help. Again, worth every penny.

John has helped me navigate some of the very tough challenges of my life and has supported me in getting my life together in general. I had difficulty managing various stressors and was addicted to Marijuana to cope with them. John has helped me identify these patterns of unhealthy choices and in fixing them so that I can move on to more significant challenges in life and career, which had to take a backseat because of my everyday stress from Family and relationships.

John is great to talk with about masculinity, confidence and communication. He listens to what you want to work on and allows you to control the direction. He is well read and knowledgeable. Always seems to be able to recommend just the right piece of literature for self study.
