    Jessica Steinbomer, CHP

    Certified Hakomi Practitioner (CHP) through the Hakomi Education Network
    Hakomi Instructor

    II am a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, Teacher, and Mentor with more than 20 years of experience supporting healing, embodiment, and meaningful change.

    I work directly with individuals and groups through Hakomi, massage and Thai bodywork, private yoga, Reiki, contemplative practice, and the Akashic Records. These approaches are held together by mindfulness, compassionate inquiry, and careful attention to the body’s own intelligence. My intention is to help people reconnect with themselves, discover what is ready to change, and cultivate more life-affirming ways of being.

    I also teach and facilitate retreats, workshops, professional trainings, and Appreciative Inquiry processes. Since 2011, I have coordinated retreats and practice intensives for Roshi Flint Sparks, Appamada Zen Center, and programs I lead independently. I am a longtime Zen practitioner and former head student, guided by Roshi Flint Sparks and Peg Syverson.

    As Co-Founder and Research Director of Progress UX, I bring more than 20 years of experience facilitating groups, building alignment, and helping organizations translate human insight into meaningful action. Across all of my work, I care about both the transformation itself and the conditions that allow it to unfold.

  • Jon-Eric Steinbomer, LPC-A, MA, CHT

    Certified Hakomi Therapist (CHT) through the Hakomi Education Network
    Hakomi Instructor
    EMDR
    Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

    I work with people who carry a great deal and rarely slow down, often in demanding careers such as tech, leadership, and other high-responsibility role, as well as couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns. Many of my clients are outwardly capable and accomplished yet privately exhausted, disconnected, or shaped by unresolved trauma that traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully addressed.

    My work is grounded in mindfulness-based, experiential approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness, the mind-body connection, and relational attunement. Rather than staying only in analysis, I help clients slow down and explore their inner experience with safety and curiosity, supporting deeper emotional regulation, embodied awareness, and more authentic connection.

    I am a Certified Hakomi Therapist (CHT) and Hakomi Instructor through the Hakomi Education Network, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A), and I hold a master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University. My work is also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt therapy, EMDR, and Ketamine Assisted Therapy.

    Please contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

  • Mike Williams

    Mike Williams, CHP

    Certified Hakomi Practitioner (CHP) through the Hakomi Institute
    Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapist
    Certified Rolfer®

    Drawing from somatic psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience-based techniques, I help clients solve challenges at the intersection of chronic pain and personal growth with skill, awareness and resilience. 

    Before transitioning into coaching, I spent a decade in investment banking and corporate finance, earning a deep understanding of the pressures and demands professionals face. This background facilitates a strong connection and empathy with high-achievers seeking a coach who truly “gets” their world and experiences. 

    Certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology, and Rolfing Structural Integration, I’ve been in private practice since 2008, guiding clients toward lasting relief by fostering a deep sense of physical, mental, and emotional safety. My experiential approach empowers individuals to take charge of their healing journey, cultivating greater ease, self-trust, and well-being.

    Krzysztof Piekarski

    Hakomi Advanced Student

    Who you are is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. A sign of growth is having more tolerance for discomfort but less tolerance for barriers that inhibit love. Krzysztof uses his training in Hakomi, Internal-Family Systems, jiu-jitsu, endurance running, Non-Violent Communication, and Zen as a way of seeing through our habits and moving into freedom. By releasing old feedback loops, you’ll become who you really, truly are—and notice that life meets you with boundless joy and fun when you do! Let’s explore! Let's play!

  • Jason Traweek

    Jason Traweek, CHP

    Certified Hakomi Practitioner (CHP) through the Hakomi Institute

    I draw from my training in the mind-body–based Hakomi psychotherapy method, along with a lifetime of experience in shamanic practice. This work moves beyond purely cognitive approaches, helping us access the deeper parts of ourselves that hold what most needs attention and care. I hold space with integrity, steadiness, and insight, offering a calm and supportive presence while guiding you inward. Together, we can cultivate a path toward healing that honors both body and spirit.

    My work is especially supportive in:

    * Revealing and transforming unwanted behavioral patterns
    * Integrating spiritual experiences and psychedelic journeys
    * Men’s work and work with young men (adolescents)
    * Deepening connection to your emotional and spiritual life
    * Reconnecting with your body’s innate memory and wisdom

  • Lisa Welden, L.Ac, MAOM

    Lisa Welden

    Transformational Coach & Retreat Leader
    Hakomi Institute Graduate
    Chinese & Functional Medicine Practitioner (L.Ac, MAOM)

    I consider callings to be a sacred agreement - one that requires you to walk in unfamiliar territory and do the inner work that becomes your path of self-actualization.

    My calling is to help you follow yours. 

    I guide heart-based coaches, healers and service-based leaders to follow their calling and own, design and share their unique medicine so that they can create businesses and lives that light them up. Having been a wellness practitioner, entrepreneur and coach for the past 20 years, I know that following a calling can be wildly vulnerable, uncomfortable, awe-inspiring and fulfilling and is likely the wildest ride you'll ever take. 

    I love to support my clients in developing an embodied, heart-centered and trustworthy relationship with themselves which allows them to take tangible steps through the sticky parts of creating, and towards what's calling. 

    Ready to follow your calling?
