This practice exists to help you integrate what’s shifting—so you can live with more clarity, alignment, intention, and care

You don’t need to know what’s next. You only need to notice what isn’t working—and move it out of the way. Something new will take its place.

Meet Richard

After nearly two decades of helping people grow through learning, storytelling, and creative expression, I was called to explore something deeper. My life—marked by a rare chronic illness, profound loss, and sitting for over 50 plant medicine ceremonies (including ayahuasca, peyote, huachuma, and iboga)—compelled me to confront the narratives and patterns that no longer served me. It wasn’t easy, and it continues to be one of the hardest and most rewarding journeys of my life. Like peeling an onion, the layers of change keep unfolding.

Through this process, I discovered that true transformation doesn’t just come from insight, but from shedding old identities and beliefs that hold us back. Disintegration coaching grew out of this understanding. It’s a practice built on the idea that growth begins when we create space by releasing what no longer serves us. Whether you’re navigating the insights or aftermath of a ceremony, coping with grief, or facing life changes, I offer guidance to help you ground, process, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

In this work, I’ve learned that real change happens when we dare to let go of the stories and identities that confine us. It’s through this courageous act of release that you can uncover a new way of being, one that is authentic and aligned with your true self. No psychedelic experience required for this approach to be effective.

It gets harder, but you get better at it. If I can do it, you can too.


Excited to see where this takes you,
-Richard

My Path to This Work

Over the years, I’ve gathered a wealth of experience from both professional and personal journeys that have shaped my approach to transformation.

  • Professional Development and Career Counselor (12+ years): Helping individuals navigate career transitions and cultivate personal growth.

  • Learning and Development Specialist (17+ years): Designing pathways for skill development and identifying growth opportunities.

  • University Professor (6 years): Educating and mentoring students while developing curriculum and facilitating deeper learning in an academic setting.

  • Performance, Improv, and Storytelling Practitioner (14+ years): Teaching people to reframe their narratives, trust in synchronicity, trust in themselves, and to remember to look for the universe’s sense of humor in all aspects of life.

  • Community Organizer for Artists and Creatives (5+ years): Creating spaces for authentic expression and connection.

  • Personal Therapy Journey (28+ years): Experiencing the client side of transformation from adolescence onward.

  • Navigating Rare Medical Conditions (14+ years): Surviving cancer and living with schwannomatosis has taught me the profound importance of these experiences. They forced me to make significant changes in my life, and I carry deep gratitude for the growth and resilience they’ve led me to.

  • Plant Medicine Integration (5+ years): Participating in and integrating over 50 ceremonies, including Ayahuasca, Peyote, Huachuma, and Iboga. These experiences have deepened my spiritual perspective, refined my approach to healing, and expanded my ability to support others through profound transformation.

These experiences have shaped my coaching into something that’s not just about learning or theory, it’s about creating the space for real change and growth, where you can release what’s holding you back and step into who you’re truly meant to be.

If I can get through it, you can too.
