About Eric

Who Am I? That is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves. From personal experience, I've come to realize that the true essence lies in understanding "what" I am.

I am a lifelong meditator with extensive training in transpersonal psychology and integral counseling psychology (California Institute of Integral Studies), M.A. in health psychology, mind-body interaction (Stanford University), wholistic wellness and Raja Yoga (Himalayan Institute), Advaita (non-dualism), A Course In Miracles, master practitioner of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), energy healing, Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Maté) a B.S in electronic engineering with a minor in computer science (NYIT), and a lifelong musician.

I am a successful escapee from 40 years in the tech world, having run my own software engineering company for 20 years, having been a director of engineering at an international Silicon Valley company, and an angel investor. I now help people create balance in their lives between purposeful right livelihood and their own awareness-expansion practices. In this equilibrium, work becomes joy, and joy becomes work. I help people shed what they are not so they can live their most true, authentic Self — a powerful, joyful way to be.

Inscribed outside the Temple of Apollo at Delphi is “Know Thyself” - Gnosce teipsum — It's the most important thing — to know one’s true nature. This is what forms the core of our work together - revealing what we truly are beyond what we've been told, or taught, or even believed.
