Greetings, I’m Brent.
In 2015, I had my first child on the way. What many say changes their lives for the better couldn’t be more true for me. A conversation with his mother got me thinking, “If I am to teach this boy that he can be anything he puts his mind to, who am I to teach him that if I can’t model it?” That’s when this journey really started for me personally.
I realized that being a child of abuse and sexual trauma, I had created coping mechanisms that kept me numb from connection- because to me connection was dangerous. Especially with men. I turned to therapy, 12-step programs and my community for support. A few years into sobriety and I found myself sitting on the couch with the most emotionally attuned and safe man I had ever met. “Emotions, what are those?” I joked. He looked me straight in the eyes. He didn’t flinch, or judge, and with as much love as one man can muster he softly said, “Maybe you should find the answer to that question.”
10 years later, I not only found my answers but now teach what I’ve learned to other men who wish to live a life of purpose, love and connection. One that is free of self judgement and harm, where we become trusted leaders in our families and communities. I now live a life of integrity and honesty, courage and humility. I practice what I teach and stand in my own fire when presented with the opportunity.

Nobody is perfect, but you can be practiced. What’s your practice?
I am a practiced and certified Somatic Experiencing Men’s Coach, practicing under the great mentorship of leaders like Owen Marcus and Mike Sagun. I hold multiple certifications in different coaching modalities that serve the somatic, emotional, and intellectual systems.
My approach isn’t to diagnose you, fix you, or tell you how to live your life. I am merely a passenger along your journey. My role as a coach or facilitator is to help remove the barriers that keep you from connecting; both with yourself and others.
I currently lead men’s groups and workshops in the Austin, TX area and facilitate retreats across North America. If you’re ready to take the next step in your development and growth, then let’s talk! If we don’t align, I can also connect you with a network of other fantastic coaches that could be of service to you.
“When you live a life of integrity, and become your own soul’s source of love, everything else becomes abundance.”
-Brent Boeckman
