Awareness, presence and connection are already here. Sometimes we simply need to see beyond our thoughts to recognize them.

His work is rooted in a simple but powerful understanding

when we come out of the noise of the mind and back into the body, everything begins to shift.

The path

Jake’s path into this work began nearly two decades ago through a deep commitment to self-inquiry, healing and exploration. What started as a personal journey evolved into a lifelong devotion to understanding the body, the mind and the deeper layers of human experience.

Around the world

Over the years, he has traveled extensively around the world studying and practicing in places such as Thailand, Bali, the Philippines, Peru, Costa Rica, Egypt and Guatemala. Along the way, he has worked with master teachers, trained in multiple disciplines, explored plant medicine, participated in men’s leadership work and immersed himself in a wide range of healing traditions.

Thailand & Esalen

A significant part of Jake’s training comes from his time in Thailand, where he spent three consecutive years studying traditional Thai massage and Ayurvedic Thai bodywork. He also trained in Esalen-style massage bodywork in Big Sur at Esalen Institute, further deepening his understanding of touch as a pathway to presence, release and connection.

His massage bodywork is intuitive and energy-based blending touch, breath and awareness to help people release tension, regulate their nervous system and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.

This same philosophy flows through all of his work, whether he is guiding a class, working one-on-one or leading an immersive experience.

He has also collaborated with leading wellness and fitness brands including Tonal, Equinox, Lululemon, Reebok and Xbox Fitness, creating programs and experiences that have reached people globally.

Embodiment

At the core of Jake’s work is embodiment. He believes that the most powerful way to guide others is not through theory, but through lived experience. Through his own ongoing practice of yoga, breathwork, meditation, bodywork and deep inner work he continues to refine his ability to hold space with presence, awareness and authenticity.

“My work is rooted in the understanding that awareness, presence and connection are already available to us. Sometimes we simply become so caught up in our thoughts and patterns that we lose sight of what's already here. Through practice, we can begin to see beyond them and reconnect with what has always been present.”

Because ultimately, this work isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to what’s already there.
