Development and Facilitation

“Namora creates a safe-enough and brave-enough space for people to begin to see what’s really at play. He listens when you speak, reads between the lines, and asks the right questions. Together, you meet the energies where they need to be met, cultivating space and awareness, within and without so that life can be met, instead of survived.”

For a limited time only, Namora is offering a 3 FREE sessions to get to know one another, play with the tools, and step into new life. See more below.

What you can expect

Initial sessions are one and a half hours long, allowing space for you to be heard for what you bring, to gain invaluable insights, to pick up simple tools and empower you to build a new foundation for daily life. Following sessions are an hour long unless otherwise requested.

We will begin all sessions with 2-minutes of silence, where I ring a bell and I invite you to begin to settle into the space with me. From there, we do a quick check-in to see what’s real for us right now: How are we feeling, what’s in the air, and where do we want to go?

Much of my work is about helping people cultivate practices of space and awareness within and without themselves. As we build this space and awareness, suddenly we find ourselves able to respond and meet life instead of just reacting to it or surviving it. As our responses to life change, life itself changes and is allowed at last to unfold in new ways.

It's not about being spiritual or positive, but practically looking at ourselves and our situation, and understanding what we need to sit with in order to get free.

What you’ll get

We start from the perspective that nothing is missing and work with tools to give ourselves permission to be okay with what’s here now irrespective of shame or judgement.

Over time, many of those whom I serve step into being a friend to themselves and cultivate a sense of inner-community.

Radical Acceptance

Get  clarity on who you are, what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it. We’ll discover, access and learn to harness inner resources as we evolve into deeper and fuller expressions of ourselves.

Life is always unfolding and rather than “fixing” or being in control, we learn how to better be with ourselves as we navigate its twists and turns.

Purpose and Clarity

These tools aren’t for tourists. As you work with me, we’ll slowly but surely step into new ways of meeting yourself, life, and the world around you.

Together, we’ll build a bridge to life as you find yourself tuning inwards more often, setting boundaries sooner, and being aware of your needs and how you want to meet the world.

Integration

Try me out without the pressure

I understand that for many people, the biggest hurdles with working with a new coach is price of entry and opacity. Coaching isn’t cheap and not knowing whether we’ll fit, or if my tools are good match for you can make many hesitant to take the leap.

For a limited time, I’m offering 3 discovery sessions FOR FREE for us to get to know each other, play with the tools without pressure, and walk away with insights and clarity. All I ask in return is a 4th session where we discuss feedback and a donation based on what you feel the work has been worth.

We’ll spend the first session introducing ourselves, the issues, the ideas, and the tools to see if we’re a good fit. From there, we can spend the next two sessions sitting with what’s at play, and get clear on how everything wants to unfold to lead you to a fuller and more connected life.

What others have said...

  • "Through Namora's insightful suggestions and questions, aspects of myself that had previously felt like "defects" have unfolded to reveal themselves as expressions of universal, healthy human needs. I am exactly the same, and yet I experience myself completely differently, and that has made all of the difference."

    Financial Advisor, 45

  • "In life, there are many moments where we have to dive deep into ourselves and make sense of what's there. It can be struggle to navigate and come back with what's valuable and practical. Namora has been and continues to be an excellent diving partner and coach."

    Performing Artist, 43

  • "Namora has this uncanny ability to listen to what's really going on for me beyond my own stories. I have clarity now on how my complexes and issues have really affected so much of my life, but also how I can begin to make peace with them, and break free from old patterns that no longer serve me."

    Software Developer, 36

  • "I feel I was really met where and how I needed to be in the sessions with Namora. From the beginning he laid the groundwork for safety and openness and helped me get clear on my needs/ boundaries. His style and process were a powerful combo that pulled everything together and ultimately helped get me un-stuck in the ways I live and view my life."

    Student, 23

  • "I was struggling with moving into new life after leaving my religion and religious community. Namora met me in my shame and guilt and transformed my relationship with myself and how I felt I was supposed to show up with others."

    Research and Innovation Manager, 31

  • "Namora honoured my ancestral grief and pain. He saw the contradictions in my values, my heritage and my life. He has helped me see and heal the parts of myself that I was too afraid to acknowledge and he walked with me as I stepped into a new life with so much more fun, joy and meaning."

    Actress and Activist, 32

  • "With Namora, I've made breakthroughs on things I've struggled with for years in therapy. Sitting with and experiencing difficult emotions used to be so difficult for me. His practical guidance helped me gain a felt sense of how to navigate difficult emotions, and drop into pure joy and connection."

 FAQs

  • Our first session will be an intake session.

    These sessions are free and last for an hour and a half so that we can get to know each other, elaborate on your issues and my tools, and discover if we’re a good fit. We’ll take time to introduce each other and to see what we need to create a safe and brave enough space for what wants to unfold.

    Towards the end of the intake session, we’ll talk about what it might look like for us to work together. How often should we meet, for how long, and what our focus will be.

    Beyond that, all sessions start with 2 minutes of silence for us to land in the space, and a simple check-in for us to debrief what’s going on for us in the here and now. From there, we tune into what’s alive and follow the thread to see what wants to be addressed.

    The core of my method is to work with whatever thoughts, emotions or fears are coming up, and to be with them exactly as they are. A willingness to see what's there and be with it is all that's needed for us to work together.

  • I’ve heard it said that we often best serve people with stories or struggles similar to our own.

    My childhood was marked as being the odd one out. I was never a part of any dominant culture: religiously, ethnically, socio-economically, or otherwise. I coped in various ways and would fight, fly, freeze or fawn to be safe or to be seen.

    My adulthood was marked by an unlearning of these old patterns so that I could step into new life as an adult, professional, mentor, community leader, and friend.

    I work best with people who want to break away from their masks and stop playing small to meet life and work with more purpose, passion and connection. If you…

    • Want to start meeting the people around you with more clarity and boundaries, in romance and at work…

    • Want tools to better be able to sit with yourself and accept all parts of yourself with love and kindness…

    • Want to be better able to swim against whatever culture is “mainstream” for you with purpose, to serve, and without burning out…

    • Want to dive deep and do the work to unravel old patterns and breakthrough into a new life with boundaries, purpose, and clarity, at home or at the work place…

    Then I believe that I have just the right combination of tools and lived experience to sit with you, listen so you feel safe speaking, and walk beside you as you step into new life.


  • At the beginning, it’s good to maintain momentum on our meetings so I recommend one call a week until the three sessions are over.

    The initial session is 1.5 hours long, and the following 2 sessions are an hour each.

    We’ll have a final and fourth session to discuss feedback, and if we want to move forward.

Let’s work together.
