"The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to cross. Thus, the wise say the path to freedom is hard." The Katha Upanishad
A threshold is a liminal space between your current life and a deeper life that wants to be born. You know you're at one when you find yourself standing at an edge where what carried you this far can take you no further. Maybe you keep reaching for the next achievement, but a hollowness remains. Maybe you keep falling into a pattern despite years of inner work. Maybe you can't see the path forward, no matter how hard you look. Or maybe, a crisis has cracked your life wide open.
Chances are, you have been approaching the threshold the same way you approach most challenges: as a problem to be solved. You've probably thrown the whole kitchen sink at it — coaching, meditation, therapy, sheer willpower. It worked... for a while. The next milestone filled the void. The pattern was wrestled into submission. The pain was processed. And then, it all came back — perhaps with a different face or even with a vengeance.
The threshold was never a problem to solve. The very things you have been trying to fix, overcome, or outrun — the hollowness, the pattern, the pain — are in fact the guardians of the threshold. They keep persisting because they long to be fully met, and are carrying something essential that's needed for the crossing. When you make sanctuary with them and offer them genuine presence — intimately sensing them in your body, emotions and mind — what seemed impossibly stuck begins to loosen. The 'problem' becomes a portal into an essential quality and way of meeting life that carries you across the threshold into a deeper, more essential freedom.

I am a midwife at the threshold. I have made the crossing across disparate worlds — from McKinsey to Monk; from Fortune 100 boardrooms to 100 days alone in the Himalayas — and now journey with others to bravely cross critical work-life thresholds to bring forth a deeper flourishing and freedom.
People often come to this work when navigating critical transitions in career, life and relationships. They also come when a crisis or an impossibly stuck pattern irrupts into a persistent anxiety or burn-out. And they come when they sense, sometimes quietly, that there is a deeper, more essential life that wants to be met and lived from.
I accompany you as you turn towards what feels hopelessly stuck — the guardian at the threshold. Through embodied inquiry, I guide you to sense into its truths, hopes and fears. Met with radical acceptance and curiosity, it begins to soften. What seemed intractable opens, and an essential quality comes through: an innate resourcefulness, a new way of meeting life. I stay close as it takes root in you and carries you across. This is the crossing.
My work lives at the intersect of three modalities: psychology (healing / past-oriented), coaching (development / future-oriented) and spirituality (realization / timeless). It is grounded in Aletheia Unfolding, Internal Family Systems and Focusing, and informed by the wisdom traditions (Diamond Approach, Dzogchen). This lets us work with an unusual range and depth, from everyday challenges to profound existential questions.
Drawing on ~10 years in strategy and innovation, ~700 hours of coaching, and ~11,000 hours of contemplative training, I bring an approach that clients describe as fiercely compassionate, holistic and transformational.

Life Growth & Lasting Transformation
I'm grateful for the coaching and life growth I've experienced while working with Moses. He provided frameworks and insights that helped me think beyond my situation and habits. With dedication and time, I gradually learned to acknowledge my old self, be present, and not react to my limiting beliefs. Moses offered both practical approaches and discussions on forward-thinking concepts, creating a holistic path for life growth and beyond. While I initially focused on professional goals, the process led me to delve deeper into personal aspects, resulting in lasting transformative impacts.

Living in Courageous Alignment
As a person, Moses is both highly intelligent and deeply empathetic. As a coach, he is firm yet compassionate. His guidance has been instrumental to my personal and professional growth: from helping me gain clarity on my personal values and mission, challenging limiting beliefs that stand in the way, to finding focus amidst distraction and self doubt. Most significantly, Moses has helped me find the courage to live authentically, in alignment with my values; doing so has enabled me to create my 'side project-turned-social enterprise', Calm Collective Asia.

Unlocking Patterns & Transformation
Moses's coaching has been transformative, significantly impacting my professional and personal growth. He helped me identify and work towards clear goals, focusing on improving my job satisfaction, but also on unlocking habits and patterns that were preventing me from connecting with family, friends and perhaps more importantly my authentic self. Moses's holistic approach combines practical coaching methods with mindfulness concepts, addressing limiting habits and beliefs effectively. Thank you, Moses, for your outstanding coaching!
