Why this work matters

Many of us want deeper connection—with ourselves, our families, our communities, and nature. But modern life often pulls us away from those bonds.

Deeply Connected helps restore them through coaching, embodied practices, and community support.

True resilience isn't forced. It grows when we slow down and listen to ourselves, our families, and our surroundings.

My work creates a safe space to notice what matters and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Life is always changing; instead of resisting, we track and allow the energy that comes with big shifts. This isn't about fixing you. It's about building safety so you can honestly see where you are, accept it, and move forward with clarity.

What People Are Saying

“My husband and I had the honor of working with Nate as our family coach over the course of several months this year. Nate has genuinely intuitive skills that supported us in improving our communication and connection as a family. Nate has many gifts, one of which includes his ability to be profoundly present with his clients. Nate came to our sessions with a deep listening of me and my partner, accurately capturing our struggles and offering tools to support us in making breakthroughs. My family is much more balanced and harmonious as a result of our work with Nate. If you're interested in transformation, healing, and wellness, then we highly recommend working with him!”

-Prita Lal, Evergreen State College Professor

“Nate is a compassionate, thoughtful and thorough collaborator. His easy, calm demeanor is accompanied by a diligence and energy that takes him all the way through a project. He stands out for his tireless follow through and resourceful ideas on making a project more efficient. Nate is adept at creating safe, nurturing containers with clear boundaries where participants can feel at ease to share on vulnerable topics. He has an earnest and authentic way of making people feel seen and understood. While he is at ease at the helm, he appropriately relinquishes the spotlight when needed.”

-Rebecca Love, Therapist and Plant Parenthood Founder

"Before working together, we were struggling with rebuilding trust in our relationship and knowing how to move forward. Working with Nate gave us a safe space to share how we were feeling and have difficult conversations. We were able to talk about things in a way we hadn't before. I would describe Nate's approach as supportive listening. He allows us both space to express our experiences and helps guide us to consider other perspectives."

-Ashley Eickmeyer, Teacher
