Who I am & Why i’m here

I didn’t always know I would end up here—guiding others on the path of self-discovery. In fact, my journey began like most: shaped by my upbringing, conditioned by beliefs I didn’t choose, and moving through life on a path I thought I was supposed to follow.

Hi, my name is Chandler. I was raised in a conservative Christian household, surrounded by certainty—until I began to question it. A single, profound question shook the foundation of my beliefs and led me to seek truth beyond what I had been given. At the same time, I transformed physically, losing over 100 pounds and proving to myself that change was possible. But personal evolution doesn’t stop at the physical—it goes much deeper.

Then, life forced me to awaken in ways I never expected. I lost my mother to cancer. My father revealed his true identity after years of living in a way that wasn’t fully his own. My sense of stability unraveled, and I realized that everything I thought was certain could change in an instant. This was my first true initiation into self-redefinition.

I pursued a career as an automotive technician, graduated early, and secured my dream position. By all external measures, I was successful. But internally, something felt misaligned. I was engaged multiple times, searching for something deeper in relationships, yet unable to see what was really driving my patterns. Lust, avoidance, and distraction kept me from facing the parts of myself that needed healing. Through heartbreak, betrayal (both received and inflicted), and repeated cycles of seeking fulfillment outside of myself, I eventually realized the only way forward was inward.

Then came the dark night of my soul—a marriage that shattered every illusion I had left about myself. The relationship challenged my sense of worth, forcing me to face my deepest fears, my unresolved wounds, and the ways I had been living on autopilot. But this wasn’t destruction for the sake of suffering—it was a call to transformation.

It was in this time of being torn down to nothing that I first learned what it meant to truly listen to myself. Alone with my thoughts, emotions, and pain, I discovered silence as a teacher. In the depth of isolation, I found the comfort of divine presence—the realization that even when I felt most alone, I was not abandoned.

At just the right moment, a friend invited me to a sound bath he was hosting. That experience changed me. The resonance of sound filled my inner silence with life, anchoring me in a deep and steady peace. It revealed a place within that I could always return to—an inner center that remained steady even when everything else felt uncertain.

In time, through Jungian training and applying those teachings to my own life, I discovered the profound value of mindful awareness. To be present in every moment—not just the joyful ones, but also in the troubling, painful ones. To see that these moments are not meant to break us, but to provide the opportunity to rebuild, stronger and truer than before. Exactly the way we need, though rarely the way we want.

I asked the universe for a life partner and received an experience that taught me to become my own foundation first. I became a father, and through my son, I learned what it means to love on a level beyond ego—beyond expectation.

Through my struggles, my failures, my awakenings, and my healing, I have come to understand the path of transformation firsthand. I know what it means to question everything, to feel like life is unraveling, and to search for something deeper when the old way of being no longer fits. That’s why I do this work—to guide others through mindfulness, sound, and self-reflection, helping them step fully into the truth of who they are.
