Reflections

From Those

Who’ve Been Here

These reflections

are not promises or outcomes.

They’re personal experiences

of what it’s like to be held in this work,

especially during times of transition.


Everyone’s experience is different,

and none are meant to be compared.

I started working with Cory during a time of traumatic transition, separation moving toward divorce. I was isolated, struggling with a demanding teaching job, and stuck in a mind-loop of regret and shame.

Cory, more than anyone I've ever worked with before

(and I've had great therapists) has a way of making me feel safe.

Cory has a gift of receiving your story of pain or remorse or shame with absolute nonjudgmental love. Cory is there in the muck with you, and has the light of love, insight, and wisdom to shine a path forward.

He is a remarkable coach.

I have had multiple sessions since then

and I always leave feeling lighter,

like a weight has been taken off my shoulders. 

Many therapists and coaches are good, offering tangible, helpful advice,

but not all are spiritual healers in the way Cory is.

It's on a deeper level but still grounded

in a what-am-I-going-to-do-today game plan. 

I highly encourage anyone considering working with him to make the leap. 

I would not be where I am today if I had not done so.

Michael Kranes

“Being in Cory’s company is life-giving and life-aligning.

You are held with care, intention, and a presence that guides without force.”

Tenneson Woolf

“Cory is grounded, reliable, and deeply compassionate.

Working with him feels both steady and expansive, like being welcomed home.”

Pete Vordenberg

“I’ve been in this work for years, and it helped me reconnect with parts of myself I had forgotten.


There was a sense of warmth, presence, and permission to unfold.”

Joanne Johnson

“Cory makes people feel safe and accepted exactly as they are.


In group spaces, there is room for every voice,

held with care and respect.”

Dr. Urvashi Singh

“This is a space where you are listened to and allowed to be yourself.


Love, acceptance, and peace

are genuinely present here.”

Tasma Baxendale

“I’ve known Cory for over three decades.


His commitment to people and the care he brings to his work are unmistakable.”

Monique Lanier

“Cory brings a rare blend

of heart, experience, and integrity.


He helps people meet what’s been holding them back

and move forward with clarity.”

Kris Hallbom

For those who prefer to hear

someone speak in their own voice.
