I love going on journeys with people. The meandering sort where we sketch the map as we walk. Following a knot in the chest, or a weird dream, or the voice that won’t leave you alone. We stumble into strange places that feel oddly familiar. Echoes of selves we had to turn away from, threads of stories we never got to tell, tangled across space and time.

We slow our steps, listening for what wants to emerge, witnessing what longs to be seen. Making space for the kind of conversations that never see daylight, but unfold naturally when the trail gets quiet. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s breathtaking. So much pain, so much beauty, all around us, all within us.

With a grin of adventure and a lot of heart, we keep walking until the forest starts to feel like home again. Come wander with me.

what’s this all about // meet me

hi, I am theo. I help folks untangle stubborn emotional knots and open into deeper intimacy with self+life. Through slow, gentle, playful somatic-imaginal explorations (it’s like IFS braided with spirituality, myth and wayfinding). Scroll below to read about others’ experiences πŸ«€

Please take a look around my digital garden. If something here reverberates, you might enjoy a 2-hour exploration session with me. Reach out via this form to schedule an intro session (pay-what-you-want) or a casual 30-minute exploration chat.

The vibe I’m going for:Β 
Somewhere along the way, many of us turned self-exploration into some kind of labor. Another set of problems to solve. Another thing to optimize. Another metric of worth. That’s a little tragic and boring. What if self-exploration could feel like wandering through a forest you’ve always lived in? What if meeting yourself could feel like art? I want us to reclaim that β€” the wonder, the intimacy, the tender joy of meeting ourselves.

At the same time, I want us to honor the intricacy. To meet ourselves not just with softness, but with mathematical and philosophical rigor. To study the physics and causality of our suffering. To trace the fractal, multi-dimensional geometry of our being, with all its coils and symmetries.Β 

What is Somatic-Imaginal?

  • Somatic-imaginal explorations blend body-based awareness with symbolic, imaginative unfolding.
  • IFS is one beautiful form of somatic-imaginal work, but it’s just one doorway. There are so many rich, creative ways to relate with our parts and explore the wilderness within.
  • There’s a strong emphasis on the somatic β€” to move beyond mental narratives and into felt shifts that reverberate through your body, perceptions and relationships.
  • There’s a quiet nod to non-dual and contemplative traditions. The kind that invite mystery, spaciousness, and insight into the nature of mind.
  • The explorations often have a dreamlike, psychedelic texture. It is like therapy meeting spirituality, myth, and art.
