Hi! I’m Blair.
I’m a coach, Mindfulness Meditation teacher, Authentic Relating & Men’s Work facilitator— but first & foremost... a human being navigating his own way.
I’ve been exceedingly curious for as long as I’ve been breathing, but it wasn’t until I cultivated an awareness of that very breathing that the door of inner transformation really swung open for me. When I found a regular meditation practice in 2012, I started to understand just how infrequently my mind was ever actually in the present moment, and how much my behaviors were driven by unconscious attachments and aversions that I wasn’t even aware of.
Presence became the place I could get space. When I was present, I could see myself and my life in new ways, and make new decisions beyond the stories my conditioned mind was telling me. This orientation helped me listen to an inner voice and step into a career in sales, to later leave everyone I knew and spend a year backpacking solo through South America, and ultimately… mindfulness led me to feeling a *click* with coaching.
Coaching fits for me because for a long time people have told me that just by virtue of “Blair being Blair” they feel trusting, seen, and comfortable exploring their inner worlds with me. I feel naturally curious about my fellow humans. What the heck is it like in there? Because there’s a lot going on in here. And more and more these days I wonder... what might it look like for us to feel more at-home and authentic within ourselves, become better friends with ourselves, and… when we DO need to make changes in our lives… how can we do so from a place of inner sturdiness and trust?
That’s why I coach.
