Taber Shadburne

Taber Shadburne helps people transform their lives.

He’s been studying comparative mysticism, Buddhism, psychology, and conscious communication since the early ‘80’s, and teaching and counseling since 1990.

He’s completed two years in residence at Dharma Rain Zen Center, dozens of silent meditation retreats, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, training as a Community-Building facilitator by M. Scott Peck’s F.C.E., certification as a Radical Honesty Master Trainer and extensive work with Brad Blanton, and many professional trainings. For a few years, he taught workshops, and led alternative "One World Worship" services for the Radical Spirit community.

He was recently published in "The Heart Of Healing: Inspired Ideas, Wisdom And Comfort From Today's Leading Voices" and is working on another book.

He is also a professional singer-songwriter, with an “unplugged” solo album that he is re-recording with a band. He lives in community in Oakland, where he recently founded the Church of Soul, a progressive spiritual community center for transformation, celebration and service.

Michael Vavricek

Since the late 90s, I’ve gobbled up books, lectures and workshops about how and why people do what we do –
from our motivations to our effectiveness.

Along the way I became friends with many coaches. Several shared with me that most of what coaches are trained to do, I already do naturally: powerfully listen, objectively support, insightfully inspire. And I love doing it.

So I trained and certified through Life Purpose Institute, accredited through ICF, the International Coach Federation.
I also served on the board of the SF Coaches, the San Francisco chapter of the ICF.

My ongoing training includes:

I founded and direct Wise Ass Wisdom, a smörgåsbord of peer-based, empowerment workshops that teach how to jiggle the handle of personal growth; how to play with a purpose.

I co-founded Sound of Mind, a non-profit providing online infrastructure and individual coaching for audio artists.

And I first woke up to radical self-expression when working for Burning Man, a gift-exchange arts community. It’s practice for the apocalypse.

I also design, produce and facilitate team building programs, treasure hunts, performance art tours and social experiments. For more info, check out my web site: http://michaelvav.com

Jessica Hadari
RYT, AHMT (ACMT,) HHP

I have enjoyed a wide range of leadership and teaching roles over the past ten years. And through this I have learned that I am passionate about seeing people transform themselves in the arena of relationships and communication. I myself am committed to communicating clearly and compassionately and I bring the intention of service to this work with the gifts of engaged presence and openness. I am experienced in counseling people through their closures, blocks and struggles. I encourage clients to embrace conflict, jealousy, anger, sorrow, joy. And I celebrate with clients in their achievements, power and successes!

As a sex-positive counselor and coach I welcome and hold space for any variety of lifestyle and love-style choices. I applaud and nurture an individual or couple’s willingness to expand and grow as they curiously explore their own perceived truths regarding lifestyle, relationships and non-standard relating. It is my joy to engage clients in curious exploration, empathy and openness to all possibilities.

I love learning and I bring my experience from a large number of teachers. In my personal journey for continued personal growth I have studied with WholeBody Wisdom. As well I have extensive training in, and experience with teaching communication, meditation, yoga, art therapy, dance, massage, breath work and holistic health. I am a group instructor, workshop leader and holistic health counselor.

Tsahai Ungar

Tsahai Ungar (AKA "Your Love Doctor") wants YOU to have the most luscious, juicy, downright succulent love life possible...beyond your wildest dreams !!! This is her work. She has devoted much of her life to honing her ability to teach people the secrets to creating, maintaining and deepening their ability to have amazing relationships that are wildly fulfilling. (Yes, WILDLY fulfilling !)

Additionally, as a Coach, Trainer and Pioneer she has helped hundreds of people over the last 9 years to hone the practical and revolutionary skills to live a life that is...truly amazing in every department. Tsahai helps people to LIVE FOR WHAT THEY LOVE !!! She calls this "Living a Higher Game".

Tsahai draws from a huge body of training she has had with many, many, many masters in a variety of fields such as Coaching, NLP and Hypnosis, and has synthesized her own model and system to help people make deep changes that last. She generally does work both in person and on the phone, and offers several different packages designed to custom fit your needs.

Tsahai brings a lot of experience to the table. She started working at age 8, got into the real estate development field at 16, and was a milti-millionaire by the time she was 17. Only to lose everything and start over by the time she was 20. She has been an entrepreneur all of her life, finding huge satisfaction in serving people deeply in a variety of different ways and making her different dreams a reality. She has learned through her own journey of making her dreams come true how essential it is to have your own Coach and be supported 100%...in doing what you really want to do and not settle for anything less.

She has realized most people don't even know what this is like, and need to be educated as to what is available to them through the coaching relationship. Similar to how most people settle for a "sneeze" of an orgasm, having no idea that a whole BODY orgasm is possible, until educated...She has found that everybody needs help learning all the stuff no one taught us in school, (and no one taught us in our family either, for that matter), and in going beyond the places where we habitually get stuck.

Tsahai believes in Sacred Partnership and considers the Coaching relationship a Sacred Partnership. It is her mission for everyone to experience the world as a place where we are all supporting one another, where we are living as "Team Earth". If you are truly ready to step up in your life and claim powerful profound support to help you (no ifs ands or buts) do what you really want and stop settling for less...then it's time to create a Sacred Partnership. It's time to hire a coach.
