ABOUT TERRYL

For 25 years, I worked inside corporations as an executive search consultant. I placed leaders, came to understand what made them successful, and saw where they got stuck. That experience taught me the language of business.

My somatic training and deep study of the ancient Five Element practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine taught me something else: to see and understand the natural patterns and themes of the psyche.

Now I bring both together.

Who I work with

You might be navigating influence, presence, or your own reactivity under pressure. You might want to sharpen how you communicate when there’s a lot riding on it, feel more at ease in certain group settings, or feel safe setting boundaries. Or you might feel off course, sensing a gap between who you’ve become at work and who you actually are, and wanting to recenter and find your way back to your own Golden Path.

Most of it is a series of small adjustments that make a big difference. It’s always fun and invigorating.

How I work

My approach is embodied and elemental. Through somatic practices and using the language of nature (the Five Element practice of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal), you learn to notice the patterns running underneath your behavior: the triggers, the habitual responses, the places where you lose center.

This shows up in real moments. How you walk into a difficult conversation. How you hold your body when challenged. Whether you can find calm authority when it matters most.

Leadership isn’t a performance. It’s an expression of who you are when you’re centered, clear, and present. My work helps you find that, not by adding more techniques, but by gently clearing what’s in the way.
