New to Brain coaching?

You’re gonna love it!

Let's create a plan to help you reset, recharge, and reclaim the happiness and productivity you deserve!

Have you ever felt like:

• You know what you “should” do, but can’t get yourself to do it?

• You don’t have enough time?

• You’d like to be less distracted by your phone?

• You’d like to be a little happier?

• You’d like to finally stick to your habits?

Your brain is always running the show. But the problem is that you’ve never been trained on how to access its dormant potential.

As a brain expert, my passion is bringing brain science to life. I can teach you proven brain tools to help you make and keep any habit, overcome negative thinking, make your day twice as productive, turn up the volume on your happiness, and get in the driver’s seat of your goals. When you start with the brain in mind, everything changes.

Let’s chat about your unique needs.

“I had been looking for a coach that could help take me to the next level. I needed someone that could help me work smarter, not harder and that could help me find ways that I could gain better focus. When I heard him speak, I knew this was the guy! Over the past several months, James has given me ideas on how to better focus and we ultimately came up with things that worked for me and my personality. He was so good at listening to me and had so many good ideas when something wouldn’t work for me. I have gained a greater amount of focus and have found ways to be much more productive due to his coaching. I would highly recommend him! He has patience, he truly listens and is a wealth of knowledge.  He is one smart guy - especially when it comes to the brain and how it works. Worth every penny!”

-Chantel Markel, Founder, Markel Realty Group

“James has been amazing to work with! I was in search of someone to help me understand how other people think as well as myself. I also wanted to figure out how to start forming positive habits. James is non judgmental and is very intelligent. He has helped me work through so many scenarios based on brain science and psychology. I referred my daughter to James and she found him equally proficient. But best of all my sessions go so quickly because he is so easy to talk to!” 

-Stacy Peters, Leadership & Organizational Development Graduate Student, SMU

“I came to James a few months ago because I knew I needed a lot of help to build better habits and to grow as a person. I’ve always felt habits were very important, but I never knew why I continually struggled to develop and maintain good habits. James was able to coach me on how the brain works and helped me see why I wasn’t able to produce the results I wanted and provided simple and effective methods for building stronger habits. Fast forward just a few months and I’m doing things consistently that I’ve never been able to do like waking up at 5:00 AM, exercising 5 days a week and taking important time each day for meditation and improving my mindset. It’s been life changing for me and I can’t thank him enough.”

-Jace Shepherd, Realtor, Century 21 Everest Realty Group

“James has had a profound and transformative effect on me, my family, and community. I am a better human, mother, wife and friend because of my work with him. Within a handful of sessions, we worked through my deepest issues related to shame—my lifelong issues with weight and mental health. Quickly pivoting to what I want to become, Theresa 2.0, I now have hope and am filled with joy and inspiration as I make concrete steps toward a life filled with meaning and purpose. I can say with 100% certainty that I would not be where I am today without him.”

-Theresa Subburathinam, Future Life Coach

“Working with James has been very helpful during my time in college. He has provided the personability of a counselor, but also gave me the tools to overcome personal obstacles with science backed brain strategies. I have learned so much about besting my anxiety.” 

-William Gilchrist, Student, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga

“Working with James has brought about changes on more than one front. In terms of accessing, working through and releasing emotional baggage I have carried since childhood – and have worked on with other therapists in the past – I found success through working with James to finally be free of the power it had over me, my view of myself and my choices in life. I’ve learned new techniques through which to deal with stress and anxiety and pushed to keep the momentum of change going forward by recognizing the impact of being open to changing up even the most mundane tasks or activities in daily life. James is accessible as a coach as well as compassionate, discerning and insightful.  He is able to help you solve the mysteries in your life, find answers and then develop an action plan to help you move forward.” 

-Mary Ellen Chrispell, Former Music Industry Executive

"James gives smart, insightful guidance which has helped me move towards my best self. The coaching feels like a collaborative process to learn about myself and what works for me, not for some hypothetical person that doesn't exist. His guidance is concrete and goal oriented, rather than ponderous or philosophical." 

-Noah Feldman, Associate, Federal Reserve

“Once upon a time an elder white-haired woman was traveling down her normal path to her next big thing - not knowing what that was but trusting she would find it, when a kind, intelligent, and brave young man stepped in front of her and held up a mirror. She knew then the destination wasn't outside of her but within her own heart. Thank you, James”

-Candra Spears, Life Coach
