Hey I’m Jon—your guide to personal freedom, clarity, and living a life that’s as bold as your biggest dreams.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of balance? Whether it’s your business, health, relationships, or overall purpose, I’ll help you cut through the noise, find clarity, and reclaim control over your life—quickly and effectively.

Over the past decade, I’ve traveled to 65+ countries, immersed myself in transformative retreats, and worked with world-class coaches. I’ve invested over $100,000 in personal development—not just to learn from the best, but to overcome my own challenges and unlock my potential.

I get it. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck in overdrive—grinding through the chaos without a clear sense of direction. You’ve worked hard to build success in one area, but deep down, you know something’s missing. Balance. Freedom. Clarity. Whether it’s your business, health, relationships, or overall purpose, it all feels out of sync. That’s where I come in.

My mission is simple: to help you uncover the root of what’s holding you back and unlock the clarity and freedom to live life on your terms—fully aligned and fully alive.

I don’t do fluff, gimmicks, or long-term programs. Instead, I focus on fast, actionable breakthroughs—one session, one conversation, one shift. Life’s too short for anything less.

Focus. Action. Results. That’s the motto. Ready to get started?

This is Jon's transformational coaching philosophy
I’m Jon, a lifelong learner and avid adventurer from Boston, MA!

Who I Am and Why I Do This

I’m Jon—a world traveler, adventurer, and lifelong seeker of personal growth. Over the past 8 years, I’ve built an online travel business that’s brought me on some of the most transformative experiences imaginable. From plunging into ice-cold waters at Wim Hof retreats in Iceland and Sweden to diving deep into meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza and personal power with Tony Robbins, I’ve pushed myself to the limits of mindset and wellness. I’ve also attended retreats in places like Bali, Mexico, and Costa Rica, focused on emotional healing and breaking through mental barriers. And most recently, I’ve helped facilitate retreats and workshops touching on all these different areas.

My own journey hasn’t stopped there. I’ve worked with world-class coaches—experts in business, life, breathwork, meditation, and physical fitness—to uncover my potential and navigate the challenges of life. Along the way, I’ve devoured countless self-help books, immersed myself in podcasts, and pieced together the best tools and strategies for transformation. If I haven’t personally experienced what you’re going through, I’ve studied it deeply. The human experience is universal, after all.

What drives me most is the fulfillment I feel when helping others. Guiding someone through a breakthrough, watching them step into their potential, and witnessing their joy as they unlock clarity and freedom—there’s truly nothing better. This work lights me up like nothing else, and it’s why I do what I do.

As a transformation coach, I’ll draw from my adventures, lessons, and insights to help you get where you want to be—quickly, effectively, and with lasting results. Below is how I approach transformational coaching.

**UPDATE 2025: I am not taking any more clients through Q1 2025 due to my busy schedule. Get in touch with me via email to be put on the waitlist.**

Why Work With Me?

I’ve walked the path of transformation myself, navigating business, life, and the pursuit of balance across it all. My coaching is laser-focused, results-driven, and tailored to help you uncover what’s holding you back—and unlock the clarity and freedom you deserve. Here’s what makes my coaching unique:

  • Root-Cause Problem Solving—I don’t just treat the “symptoms”; we’ll tackle the real issues together.
  • Action-Focused Coaching: No fluff, no gimmicks—just deep insights and immediate solutions.
  • Fast, Results-Driven Coaching: Designed to create breakthroughs in one session.
  • A Global Perspective: Lessons from the world’s most challenging retreats and cultural adventures.
  • No Upselling or Long-Term Commitments: No BS, just transformation.
  • Badass Integration: Real-world tools and strategies you can implement immediately.
  • Holistic Growth: Address your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth for lasting transformation.

1. Fast, No-Fluff Transformation

I’m not here to sell you long-term programs or keep you coming back for endless sessions. My approach is laser-focused on uncovering the root of what’s holding you back and helping you make real, actionable breakthroughs—fast. One session, one shift—that’s often all it takes to start seeing the path forward.

2. Experience that Speaks for Itself

I’ve lived the transformation I’ll guide you through. With over a decade of personal growth under my belt, I’ve invested more than $100,000 in retreats, coaching, and self-development. I’ve worked with world-class coaches, attended advanced mindset and wellness retreats in Iceland, Mexico, and Costa Rica, and faced challenges that required deep inner work. Everything I teach is grounded in what I’ve lived and learned.

3. A Unique Blend of Adventure and Depth

My coaching style is shaped by my travels to 65+ countries, where I’ve embraced adventure, discomfort, and new perspectives. Whether it’s jumping into freezing lakes or hiking through the wilderness, I’ve learned that pushing your limits in life translates into growth and clarity in your mindset. I bring this adventurous, results-oriented perspective into every session.

4. Balance Business with Life

As an entrepreneur myself, I know how easy it is to get stuck in the grind. My coaching is tailored to those balancing business, health, relationships, and a desire for freedom. I’ll help you align these areas and create a life that works for you—not just your career.

5. Personalized, Results-Driven Approach

This isn’t one-size-fits-all coaching. I’ll meet you exactly where you are and tailor every session to your unique challenges and goals. Together, we’ll cut through the noise and create tangible, actionable steps that bring immediate results.

6. A Coach Who’s Walked the Path

I get it—life is messy, fast-paced, and often overwhelming. I’ve been where you are, and I know how it feels to crave balance and clarity while juggling the chaos. My mission is to help you find your way through it, bringing you the same breakthroughs that changed my life.

In our time together, I’ll give you my best – and I will go as deep as you’re willing to go. I’m here to help you achieve major breakthroughs from day 1 – giving you tangible takeaways that you can implement in your life right away. If I do my job correctly, you won’t need to keep coming back.

  • If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress, let’s get to work. My coaching isn’t for everyone—it’s for those ready to step up, face their challenges, and take control of their lives.
The world needs help. As a transformation coach, I am determined to guide people towards the areas of their highest excitement.

What to Expect in a Session: How Transformational Coaching Works

Every session is completely personalized to your unique challenges and goals. We start by understanding where you are right now and where you want to be. Whether you’re seeking clarity, balance, or stress relief, I tailor each session to focus on the areas that matter most to you. No two sessions are alike because no two journeys are the same.

To get the ball rolling, I may suggest physical exercises, breathwork, or meditation to help you release tension and bring up whatever needs to surface. These practices are designed to create a safe space for exploration and transformation, allowing you to connect deeply with yourself.

At the end of the day, you are your own best friend, doctor, and therapist. My role is not to “fix” you but to help you help yourself. Everything you need is already inside of you—I simply ask the right questions and point you in the right direction.

Together, we’ll dig deep to uncover the root of what’s holding you back. This isn’t about scratching the surface—it’s about exploring the beliefs, patterns, and emotions beneath the surface. The resolution to your biggest challenges won’t be found at the tip of the iceberg, but in the depths below. That’s where transformation begins.

Sample session breakdown:

  • 0-30 minutes: Understanding your goals and needs.
  • 30-60 minutes: Diving into root causes.
  • 60-90 minutes: Action plan development.

Transformation Begins on Day 1

During the session, you’ll experience a major mindset shift, leaving you with actionable results. You’ll walk away with:

  • New habits, routines, and rituals tailored to your goals.
  • Book recommendations and tools, such as apps, websites, or social media accounts that support your growth.
  • Suggestions for specialized help, like seeing a chiropractor for postural issues or a breathwork coach for improving your breathing patterns.

I may also recommend alternative practices like cold immersion, yoga, meditation, or barefoot grounding. These proven techniques can help you integrate the insights you gain during our sessions into your daily life.

The Right Environment for Growth

If you’re local to Boston, we can meet in person, and I encourage sessions outdoors in nature, where breakthroughs happen more naturally. For remote clients, we’ll connect over Zoom in a relaxed, distraction-free environment.

Designed for Results

Each session lasts 1.5 hours to give us the time and space to go deep. While I aim to stay within that timeframe, I often extend sessions when clients are on the verge of a breakthrough—because breakthroughs don’t happen on a schedule.

You’re not just paying for 90 minutes—you’re getting the distilled wisdom of years of personal growth, thousands of hours of training, and countless breakthroughs.

A Change in Perspective

Transformation isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about shifting how you see yourself and your world. After every session, you’ll leave with:

  • A fresh perspective.
  • A clear action plan for what to focus on next.
  • Renewed confidence in your ability to create the life you want.

One caveat on how transformation coaching works…

While I’d love to help you implement all of the things, the reality is that you (and only you) are the pilot of your own life. Nobody can make you to do anything; it all needs to come from you. My job is to help you find clarity and a path forward in your own healing or personal transformation journey. I hope (and expect) that you will act on the insights from our sessions.

As such, I recommend that you carve out time after your session to reflect. This can include journaling, pondering what to do next, and creating an action plan. I don’t recommend scheduling anything else right after our 1-1 sessions. In transformation life coaching, the worst thing that can happen is you leaving the session all passionate and inspired, only to lose it moments later when another commitment takes over your awareness. After learning something super profound, you may feel like everything is better and you can take your foot off the pedal. Don’t let the dopamine deceive you. Keep going!

Personal growth comes when you can silent the mind and be present. That's when you can tap into your intuition.

Client Success Stories

Here are just a few success stories and tangible outcomes from my clients:

  • “I recently did two calls with Jon to help improve my process for hiring overseas labor. He gave me a process to find new contractors for $4/hour, which has totally transformed my business. Two sessions easily saved me $25k per month in costs. Enough said.” – Vincent
  • “After one session with Jon, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders. His ability to ask the right questions is unmatched.” – Nate
  • “I’ve spent years in therapy, but one session with Jon gave me clarity I never thought possible.” – Corey
  • “Jon’s energy lights up the whole room. He’s filled with wisdom and is well beyond his years…” – Matthew
  • “In just one call, Jon helped me overcome lots of self-doubt that was holding me back with my business. Just 2 days later, I got my first high-ticket client ($7,000). I’d say it was a good investment.” – Monique
  • “I’ve worked with Jon on and off for the past 2 years. He’s helped me navigate my business and life. I sign up for a call with him 2-3 times a year, especially when I’m making big life decisions, and he blows my mind every time.” – Evan
  • “Jon has something that I really want– freedom. I’ve followed him on Instagram for years and his personal story inspired me to reach out. At the time, I created a prison for myself with my work which nearly led to a divorce and a bankruptcy for my business. Thankfully Jon was there to ground me and show me a new path, one of freedom and self improvement. Grateful for his wisdom and his ideas.” – Giannis
  • “I went to Jon looking for advice on how to grow my lifestyle travel blog. He helped me realize that my business challenges all came down to my mindset and beliefs. This initially triggered the heck out of me, but deep down, I knew he was onto something. Just a few sessions later, I not only had a more resilient mindset and outlook on life, but he also helped me with a strategy to make $100 more per day on my blog.” – Lena

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about personal freedom coaching

Here are some common questions from prospective clients:

What’s the difference between transformational coaching and therapy?

Transformational coaching focuses on identifying where you are now and helping you move toward where you want to be—quickly and effectively. It’s action-oriented, forward-focused, and designed to create breakthroughs that lead to tangible results. Therapy, on the other hand, often explores past experiences and unresolved emotional issues at a deeper level, which can take more time. Coaching isn’t a replacement for therapy, but it can complement it by helping you gain clarity, set goals, and take action.

Can we do this virtually?

Yes! I offer virtual sessions via Zoom for clients anywhere in the world. The process is just as effective as in-person coaching because it’s about the depth of our conversation and the insights we uncover—not the location.

How do online and in-person sessions differ?

The main difference is the setting. For in-person sessions, I often encourage meeting in nature, which can enhance clarity and relaxation. Online sessions, however, offer the convenience of connecting from wherever you are. Both formats allow us to go deep, and you’ll experience the same level of focus, guidance, and transformation in either setting.

What kind of results can I expect after one session?

Most clients leave their first session with:

  • A clear understanding of what’s holding them back.
  • Specific habits, routines, or strategies they can implement immediately.
  • A major mindset shift or “aha” moment that sets the foundation for lasting transformation.

While long-term growth takes ongoing work, one session is often enough to create a significant breakthrough.

What happens if I don’t experience a breakthrough?

If you don’t feel like the session provided valuable takeaways or clarity, I offer a money-back guarantee. That said, breakthroughs often happen in unexpected ways—sometimes during the session, sometimes in the days or weeks that follow. My goal is to equip you with the tools and insights to make that shift, whether it’s immediate or gradual.

Do I need to prepare anything before the session?

No extensive preparation is necessary, though I do often send out a brief questionnaire beforehand. However, it can also be helpful to:

  • Reflect on the biggest challenges you’re facing right now.
  • Think about the areas of your life where you feel stuck or out of balance.
  • Come with an open mind and a willingness to dive deep.

The session will be tailored to you, so just showing up ready to engage is the most important step.

Wishing you lots of love and happiness. The journey ahead is an exciting one, even if it seems scary…fall in love with the process! -Jon
