You’ve built success — but at the cost of your own balance.
You’re capable, self-aware, and high-performing.
And Yet…
Some days, it still feels like something’s missing.
You wake up reactive, distracted, and disconnected — wondering: what’s it all really for?
You’re not the leader, creator, or human you know you could be.
You long for something deeper — not just to perform well, but to feel whole while doing it:
- To feel at home in your own body.
- To live with clarity, meaning, and purpose.
- To lead with integrity — not just sometimes, but always.
- To be a lighthouse for others, living from a true sense of alignment.
You’ve done the courses, read the books, listened to the podcasts.
But you know what’s missing now isn’t more knowledge — it’s embodiment.

What Clients Are Saying
Explore Their Stories
Jim, Government Official, 38
Jim is a senior government official in Washington DC. After more than 15 years in leadership, he had achieved professional success but felt unfulfilled on a deeper level.
Despite his experience, he struggled with confidence, self-criticism, and a sense of disconnection from his own energy and purpose. That’s when he decided to begin coaching with George.
If I had to sum it up in one line:
"I’ve found my true self. Beneath all my stories of not being good enough, I am whole and worthy of love.”
How Jim Went from Self-Doubt to Self-Leadership
From Outer Success to Inner Strain
“I’ve been successful at work, but there was this constant sense of meaninglessness. I couldn’t enjoy rest, and in my mind I was harsh with myself — about still being single, about not being good enough.
I felt emotionally listless, numb, and tired. It was like I’d lost my “chi”, my energy. Deep down, I knew I was capable of so much more.”
The Search for Real Meaning
“I had gone to a few meditation classes and read books on Daoism and Buddhism. But it was all in my head.
When I came across George’s films, I trusted his integrity straight away. I loved how he made these ancient ideas really accessible — and how he lives them, not just teaches them. He leads his team, he creates films, and he integrates it all. That’s what I wanted: wisdom applied in real life.
At first, I worried: ‘Will I actually prioritise this? This is a big investment.’ But the pain of not working on this had already been hurting me for decades. I was ready to change.”
Discovering a New Way of Being
“Working with George has been immensely helpful. He listens intently and sharpens my ideas in real time.
What really sets him apart is how he senses what I struggle to say and gives it shape. Every insight feels profound and immediately actionable.
Whether I’m sorting through competing priorities or trying to name an emotion, his patience and gentle questions create the space I need. I don’t leave with answers he’s given me — I leave with my own answers, uncovered.
I love how he works with every aspect of my life — energy, presence, purpose, relationships, body, and daily practice. Before, I felt downward momentum. Now, I feel uplifted.
It’s like he goes to the core of who I think I am and helps me find a loving, expansive way to understand myself. That love isn’t just an idea anymore — it’s a lived sense of ease.”
Living the Change
“I’m noticing the changes in concrete ways. At work, I have an older colleague who reports to me, but I always felt too unsure to really lead her. I thought: ‘Who am I to tell her what to do?’
Now, I’ve realised that playing small doesn’t serve me, her, or the organisation. I’ve started stepping into that leadership with more confidence and kindness.
To my surprise, she’s responded really positively — it’s actually improved our relationship.
I’m also noticing energy returning. Whether I’m on the tennis court, navigating conflict at work, or even dating, I can catch unhelpful thoughts and come back to presence. I feel more powerful, confident, and compassionate.
"I’ve found my true self. Beneath all my stories of not being good enough, I am whole and worthy of love."
Jim’s Message to Future Clients
“If you’re considering this coaching but feeling unsure, I’d say: just try the discovery call. Even that gave me a lot of clarity.
I was hesitant too — wondering whether I could prioritise it and whether it was worth the investment. But now, after two coaching containers, I’m levelling up massively in my life.
If you feel the resonance, take the step.”
Catherine is a neuroscientist and executive leader in the pharmaceutical industry, focused on degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s. At 70, she is in the later stages of a distinguished career. She began coaching with George, seeking both resilience in a toxic work culture and the clarity to finally write the book she had long dreamed of.
“Coaching with George has been joyful and empowering. My life is shifting in ways I’d been waiting decades for.”
How Catherine Went from Burnout to Balance
From Outer Success to Inner Conflict
“My career has been very successful, but when I joined my current company, I found the culture difficult — toxic even.
There weren’t enough resources or clear priorities, and it often felt like I had to bow down to what the CEO wanted, even when it wasn’t right for the organisation.
That work stress started to seep into the rest of my life. I wanted to protect my energy and finally write the book that had been calling me for decades.
When my husband passed away, I knew I needed to tell our story — but I didn’t know how to find the space or the clarity.”
Facing the Inner Voice
“I’ve always had a strong meditation practice — I’ve been doing Transcendental Meditation twice a day for years.
But I realised I was also ignoring parts of myself. I was meditating over voices inside me rather than listening to them.
I could feel the harshness and agitation showing up in my body as tension.
When I saw that George was opening coaching spaces, I didn’t hesitate. I’d watched his films and had been curious about Daoism for a long time. The timing was perfect.”
Coaching as a Springboard
“Working with George became my springboard into the great ocean of self and possibility — helping me find my way back to the road not taken.
George is a remarkable listener. He has this gift of subtle question and answer — insightful but empathetic, a give-and-take style that moves me forward gently, ‘yielding, like ice about to melt’ as the Tao Te Ching says.
One of the most powerful tools was parts work. It was revelatory. For the first time, I began giving voice to my creative parts — the ones that wanted to write. And I also met the parts standing in the way. By listening to them, I opened space for flow and joyful creativity.
George also helped with the practical side — navigating career transitions, planning how to approach writing. It wasn’t just spiritual; it was deeply grounded.”
Breakthroughs in Work and Writing
“Since starting coaching, I’ve finally begun writing my book — something I’ve wanted to do for four decades. That alone is extraordinary.
At work, I now see challenges as my spiritual dojo — an opportunity to practise and embody what I’m learning.
For example, when my CEO asked me to attend a conference that would take huge amounts of time and money, I would have once said yes automatically.
This time, I kindly expressed my needs. He listened. We had a good conversation. I felt empowered in a way I hadn’t before.”
A Life Rebalanced
“What I’ve gained is wise self-leadership — not just as a concept, but as something lived.
Coaching with George has been joyful and empowering.
If someone was unsure about starting, I’d tell them: if you feel the pull, follow it. I had no hesitation when I saw the opportunity, and I’m so glad I trusted that instinct.
My life is shifting in ways I’d been waiting decades for.”
Simon, Celebrity Voice Coach, 40
Simon is a 40-year-old voice coach in the UK, working with world-famous musicians to help them perform at their best on stage.
Behind the success, though, he carried a heavy history of childhood trauma, cycles of addiction, and a struggle to find meaning outside of work.
When he joined coaching with George, he was depleted after major projects, in conflict at home, and feeling spiritually rudderless.
"All I can share is my experience; this has changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful.”
How Simon Went from Survival to Self-Connection
Hitting a Wall
“I’ve been successful in my work, but my personal life has carried the weight of intense trauma and neglect from childhood. That’s led me, at times, toward addiction.
Before coaching, I was wiped out — low energy, conflict with my partner, and spiritually rudderless. I’d fallen out of practice, wasn’t sure if retreats were still right for me, and felt caught in a negative thought-pattern funk.
I knew I needed deeper support.”
Wrestling with Old Patterns
“I’d done therapy and some addiction recovery work, but something was missing. I wanted to work at a deeper level.
I also struggled with worthiness. I remember asking myself: Am I even worthy of healing? Worthy of working with George? Why would he want to work with me?
That self-doubt was huge. But I also knew that without support, I’d stay stuck in the same cycles — addiction, harsh self-talk, procrastination on my own life outside of work.”
A Turning Point
“When I came to George’s retreat, something shifted. It was awakening.
I realised that all these stories of not being good enough, all these addictive patterns, are experiences happening within my awareness.
And within that awareness, I actually have a choice.
That gave me a way to relate to myself differently — not fighting the addiction, but finding the space to respond with presence. That was a profound change.”
Coaching as the Path to Balance
“Then I started 1-1 Coaching with George. The parts work has been a revelation. Beneath all the voices in my head, there’s a compassionate, calm, curious core — and I’m connecting with that more and more.
What I love is how holistic the coaching is. George helped me finally cement a daily meditation and movement practice — something I’d wanted for years. Now that practice anchors me.
And beyond tools, we worked on meaning and purpose. What am I here to do? What service am I meant to give in the world?
Having those conversations has been life-changing.
I’ve had profound emotional experiences in coaching — insights into the self, a way past decades of trauma and self-abuse.
It’s allowed me to connect with my authentic self and to see that balance, even joy, is possible.”
New Confidence, New Presence
“I feel more spacious in myself now.
With my partner, I’m slower, more understanding.
With myself, I’m kinder.
Confidence has grown, too. I’m really enjoying life again.
Yes, temptations still arise and sometimes the addict part of me shows up — but it’s much less, and I know how to meet it with compassion.”
Simon’s Message to Others
“All I can share is my experience: this has changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful.
I sometimes wonder how long I would’ve stayed trapped in patterns of addiction and harshness, and how much that would’ve cost me, if I hadn’t taken the leap.
If you’re considering working with George, don’t wait as long as I did. This work is worth it.”
