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.

“We’re all just walking each other home”

Ram Dass

Why?

Oh, that is an excellent question…

My core desire is for freedom.  And my great aspiration is to awakenEverywhere, 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?

"Parts Work sessions with James were very helpful! He has a natural ability to listen, see and hold space. He gently guided me through layers of my being and helped me to get in touch with parts of me i have been avoiding or had no idea that they existed. Parts Work was new to me, but thanks to James I have now growing interest in this method, I find it simple, effective and fun. Even though the sessions were done online, James made me feel comfortable and safe in his presence, thank you for helping me to see more of myself!"

-Aidi

"James is intuitive and gentle. His energy is calming and he will zero in not just on the sticky physical stuff that may be coming up but also the energetic stuff that lies just below the surface of the physical discomfort. With James you can relax, unwind, and allow your body and spirit to heal."

– Marie Bakerpoole

"This man is an absolute magician. Knowledgeable, talented, caring, and easy to work with. I have such a mess of musculoskeletal issues and he never fails to make me feel right as rain. Highly recommend."

– Rory Gawler
