James Novakowski
Finding the pathways to freedom through ceremony, magic, and logic.
My Specializations
Transformational Coaching
Discover what calls to you, what drives you, and what stands in your way. Get the support you need to create the life you want.
Psychedelic Journey Support
Build skillfulness around psychedelic preparation and integration, and gain clarity in your work with altered states of consciousness.
Massage and Bodywork
Combining many modalities, we’ll find ways to listen closely to the body and offer the space and care to unwind into balance and freedom at every level.
Spiritual Integration
Learning to attend to and integrate your spiritual life, particularly the process of Awakening, can be confusing, destabilizing, even terrifying. Through body-awareness, mindfulness, and dialogue, we will build your capacity and skillfulness in orienting to the world in ways that both honor where you are and welcome all that you are becoming.
What is it like to imagine being free?
And how do we find our pathways to freedom?
And then, how do we walk them?
About James
I am a multidisciplinarian, healer and lifelong learner. My current work revolves around integrative practices (coaching, psychedelic medicine, meditation, massage therapy, dance, and movement) that welcome the whole of human experience. I believe that the more we allow and accept what is, the more we get to come into alignment and work with the world, rather than against it.
My background includes undergraduate studies in Environmental Science and Native American Studies, Permaculture Design Certification, Yoga Teacher Certification, Medical Research of Tai Chi for Parkinsons, Transportation Research and Consulting, Data Analytics, and Software Development.
My deepest delights are as a dancer, rock climber, and gardener. I have also had the pleasure of and have been working with plant medicines since 2017, including studying under the Shipibo in Peru.

Why?
Oh, that is an excellent question…
My core desire is for freedom. And my great aspiration is to awaken. Everywhere, for everyone. I am pursuing many paths to freedom, and many paths to awakening, both internally and externally, for myself and for others. It is these two orienting ideals, along with a desire to be of service, that guide me in the work that I do.
As I map these processes of awakening and liberation for myself, I want to share in them with others. I know how difficult it can be to grow, and change, to accept who you are and to learn to truly work with how you are. I know it can be confusing to sift through the incredible variety of options, opportunities, perspectives, and stories that are part of this human experience. And I know how helpful it can be to have a friend and a guide, someone to help hold the space as the demons are brought in, as the wounds are washed clean, and as the habitual mind fights to regain control, as we learn to trust our own truth ever more deeply.
How It Works
1.
Connect
Let’s talk. Schedule an hour with me at no charge, and we can explore whether I, and this work, are a good fit for you.
2.
Commit
If we seem like a good fit, we can come to agreement on how and when we would like to work together.
3.
Explore
With an agreement in place, we then step into the work – uncovering and welcoming the fullness of who you are, and coming into alignment with how you want to be and what you want to do in the world.
4.
Coalesce
This is where we bring it all together. We work with practices that integrate the new insight you’ve gained into your life. What support do you need and want? How do you really get to be at choice in how you move through the world, and live in ways that support and empower who you are?
