I just have to tell you how much difference I am feeling right now. You have helped me come up with dynamic solutions and apply my efforts to fix some very important things. I cannot tell you how the help you have provided me thus far has contributed to getting me back into the game!"
Adam's positive nature and affirming nature never fail to help me get myself back in balance. His insightful observations and gentle suggestions are always right on the mark and his generous manner is a balm to my spirit."
Adam's powerful insights and gentle enthusiasm allow him to quickly penetrate deeply into my situation. He is both knowledgeable and curious, and provides guidance that is clear, transformative and easy to incorporate into my life."
Who am I?  
I am steeped in Eastern philosophy and have practiced healing (Qi Gong) and martial arts (Kung Fu, Taiji) for the better part of my adult life. I am also a business professional having been part of and consulted for Internet start-ups and local small businesses. I hold a BS in Business Administration and a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I teach Taiji locally here in Marin County, California where I live with my lovely wife and two awesome kids. I am passionate about the outdoors, a healthy lifestyle, and vibrant community.

How do we work together?  
I like to work over the phone for convenience and also importantly so that we can be comfortable and free with our emotional body. For those going through tough transitions, I prefer to schedule regular calls whereas others may opt for flexibility and schedule as needed. My rates are flexible and, while I'm happy to suggest, I'd prefer you "Pay-What-Feels-Good" based on your ability to pay and benefits received. 
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest.!

Anger Management

I was drawn to her immediately. Her presence loving and her story real. You could just feel it. No surprise then when she told me she was from Detroit. It doesn't get more real than that.

Shame on you, Pride.

Pride is defined as is an elated feeling of accomplishment derived from one's own acheivement or group identity. It comes from the old english 'pryde' which translates most closely with "excessive self-esteem". In today's english, it is more closely associated with self-confidence and public admiration. Like all things, there are two sides to every story.

Yield without giving up your root

Taijiquan ("Tai Chi") is translated as "Supreme Ultimate Fighting" and for good reason I believe. It has a long revered heritage originally said to have arisen from watching a crane and snake fight and has survived the millenia by adapting and diversifying to today's more esoteric and health promoting aspects.

Make it beautiful

"Begin with the end in mind" is a mantra I borrow from one of my heros and author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey. What end do you have in mind? It's a big question and needs refinement, but first let's answer the big one...

Mind Over Matter?

Yes it's true, but Matter matters too! - Over time I become increasingly aware that the "negative" manifestations in our lives are due if not mostly, then significantly to the well-being of our physical bodies. Let me explain: No matter the final outcome or next steps on our spiritual journey, our lifetime is contained within our body.

What exactly is Tai Chi?

First of all it's not Tai Chi, there is no "Chi" in Taiji! Taijiquan (Tie-Jee-Chuan, translated as Supreme Ultimate Fighting) is a martial art from China that dates back to antiquity. It is said that it was first conceived by watching a crane and snake fight in the wild.

Habit Forming

We all know how hard it can be to break a habit. What if there was an easier way? First it might help to understand why it's so hard to break 'bad habits' in the first place: While I'm not a big fan...

Boredom

Boredom, we've all felt it and feel it. Almost daily I hear my kids complain of boredom. Clients too and when I look around there's plenty of visual evidence that boredom afflicts the majority of people at least some of the time.

About that Yin/Yang Thing...

Yin-Yang theory developed many thousands of years ago in China and has been a mainstay of Chinese thought and culture ever since. In a nutshell, Yin-Yang represents the duality of all things in the natural world. The theory can be used to describe and philosophize on everything since the Big Bang.
