Ever since I’ve been coaching at the age of 19 I was both concerned and fascinated with what drives transformation, having gone through my one myself. Over the years, I was exposed to different environments and people from all walks of life so I got a broad understanding of the different “natures” or types of people and their backgrounds. I was instructing in Krav Maga, became a personal trainer at SATS Solli Plass in Oslo, where I trained across the demographic spectrum from ambassadors, diplomats, CEOs, partners in big firms, to students and middle management employees. It was the limitations of working as a personal trainer that really opened my eyes to the needs and levels of what drives transformation. 

My main driver

That drive to find out what makes people tick, and more importantly HOW people tick hasn’t left me since that faithful moment of my own transformation, which manifested itself in digging deep into literature across fields, from the biological like cell function, genes, hormones, to deep nutrition like how micronutrients drive brain development, function and mood, into neurobiology and neuroscience to see how the brain functions, is connected and drives behavior. 

In this process, I have become one of the handful of coaches who have been flown out across the world to live with clients to guide them through their transformation, which meant synthesising protocols, running them through extensive diagnostics, psychometric testing, and extensive dialogues. There was no paved path into this, the “giants” of the field were using severely outdated paradigms, or lacked the diagnostic layer, or lacked the neuroscientific understanding, or didn’t have the philosophical backbone that affords proper exploration. Whoever I turned to, I saw the gaps; whatever system I was involved with, I saw its limitations. And how can I bring real transformation when I was only meeting hard limits? 

Building my own framework

That’s why I synthesised this approach, using multiple layers and filters, to go as deep and as broad as possible, so I could overcome the limitations of each tool or paradigm. We need the diagnostics to figure out what is happening across your biology, we need the neuroscience to understand how this drives behavior and wiring, we need the psychology to understand how that informs identity and the psyche, and we need philosophy for the exploration of the interpretations of all of those other levels. Since coaching as a term falls short and comes with intrinsic bias, I prefer the term Psychagogoe. Psychagogia, translated as the leading of the soul through ordered presence.

Call it a dialogue between biology and meaning, with the ultimate aim to guide a client to think clearly, feel deeply, act decisively, and live in alignment with their nature. Most people try to fix their mind with their mind. But if your neurotransmitters, hormones, and circadian rhythm are off, you’re not thinking; you’re compensating for a biological lack. Plato called this misalignment of the soul, where reason, spirit, and appetite fall out of order. Today, we can map that misalignment through bloodwork, methylation panels, and nervous system diagnostics,  and rebuild it through nutrition, sleep, and introspection. Philosophy without biology is abstraction; biology without philosophy is mechanism. True transformation requires both.

The human being as an embodied psyche

Modern life fragments the human being. We optimize hormones while neglecting values. We pursue meaning while ignoring the nervous system. My work reunites what ancient philosophy and modern science both knew to be one system: the human being as an embodied psyche.

Through diagnostic precision and philosophical depth, I help individuals rewire identity, restore vitality, and reorient toward excellence: biologically, psychologically, and spiritually. This is psychagogy reborn for the modern age, and why I can only do this with a few who are willing to go that distance.
