Welcome!

Those of you who serve others and want to live your dreams will find support here.

I specialize in helping mission-driven people close the gap between their best self and their current reality.

There are three types of people that find this site: the dissatisfied, the desperate, and the inspired. What they have in common is that they all want to live the life they were born to live in service to something bigger than themselves.

My extreme hunger for Truth was born out of many medical missions to the war-torn Thai-Burma border. I witnessed the severe intensity of life and became ravenous for Truth, the kind of Truth with a capital ‘T.’ I began journaling and meditating, seeking Truth from what experience was showing me. I began studying the various wisdom traditions and sat in front of teachers and read ancient texts. I dove deep into the growing fields of integrative medicine, behavior change, and modern science. The combination of these sources and this intense hunger birthed a model that makes up the core of the maps, principles, and practical tools I share.

I am grateful for those who desire to live for something bigger than themselves and come here for support and answers. What they have told me are the maps, tools, and principles that I share help them sort through the confusing noise of the world and make sense of life’s challenges. I am grateful that it also saves them time, money, and helps them serve others. 

It is possible to fulfill your purpose and have a tremendous impact. You can become more fully yourself, authentic, pure, original wholeness, your unique puzzle piece. This is living the life you were born to live! And it can be fun! 

To your dreams becoming a reality,

Dr. Ben
