I ignite transformation and build brotherhood for high-achieving gay men who are ready to reclaim their masculine power and redefine what it means to be a modern man. My unapologetic, embodied approach shatters old patterns of conformity and amplifies your authentic self with fiercely-loving, raw clarity. Through deep men’s work, we transform your limits, challenge outdated ideas of masculinity, and help you step into the unstoppable force you were meant to be.
Welcome to a no-bullshit approach to men’s work and transformation, where we cut through societal conditioning and target the core of your deepest struggles as a modern man.
In this space, you’ll dismantle the limiting beliefs that have held you back—whether in relationships, career, or your sense of self—while being supported by a brotherhood that holds you accountable at every turn. In our work together, you’re not just engaging in personal growth; you’re activating a catalyst for radical, lasting change rooted in reclaiming your masculine power and authentic self.
This is your moment to break free from superficial definitions of masculinity, embrace your full potential, and step boldly into a life that is unapologetically real, deeply connected, and truly your own.
You’re a high-performing, ambitious gay man who’s worked hard to get to where you are, but something feels off. Despite the external success, an undeniable discontent lingers beneath the surface—whether it’s isolation, frustration with not being truly seen, or a quiet shame about not fitting the mold of what a man “should” be.
You’ve played the part and “done well,” but deep down, you know there’s more to your experience of masculinity and connection. The cost of avoiding these feelings is steep—living with a gnawing emptiness, pushing through the burnout, and continuing to miss out on the deep brotherhood, intimacy, and fulfillment you crave as a man.
No more! It’s time to confront these challenges head-on, to break free from outdated definitions of masculinity, or else risk staying stuck in a muted, disconnected life that doesn’t reflect the fullest, most unapologetic version of who you are. So let’s go.
You’ve outgrown the stereotypical gay culture centered on partying, hookups, and drugs. You’re craving deeper, more meaningful connections, ones that don’t revolve around the scene but tap into authentic brotherhood, pleasure, and love.
It’s time to embrace your gay identity as one part of your whole self, not the defining feature. The challenge lies in integrating your masculinity and authenticity beyond labels and stereotypes, allowing yourself to be fully seen.
You long for real, genuine connections—with men who can meet you in your depth. The superficial interactions that dominate your life feel hollow, and you’re ready to build a circle of men who get you, where you can be your true, unfiltered self.
Holding back your full power, your heart, your “too muchness” because you’ve been conditioned to believe that vulnerability makes you weak. You want to unleash your authentic self, unapologetically, without fear of rejection from other men or societal norms.
You’ve felt disconnected from the mainstream gay culture that doesn’t resonate with your core. You’re yearning for brotherhood and a community of men who embrace both the primal and modern male experience, where you can finally belong.
The absence of a strong, supportive brotherhood is palpable. You’re tired of “men’s work” spaces designed for heterosexual men and are ready for a space that welcomes your unique experiences as a gay man, without exclusion.
You struggle to be fully authentic in a world that stereotypes you. Balancing professional ambition with the desire for intimacy and deep connection feels impossible, but you know there’s a path where you can honor both.
You carry the weight of shame from the past, ingrained in you by society’s judgment. It’s time to release that and claim the truth that you are worthy of love and connection, fully and unapologetically.
Society’s pressure to conform to the idealized version of the “good gay” has made you suppress your real self. You’re done with the censorship and ready to embrace who you are, without compromise.
The constant effort to maintain a façade and suppress your true feelings has led to burnout, exhaustion, and an emotional toll that impacts every part of your life. It’s time to break free from the cycle and reclaim your vitality.
PRAISE
"It’s hard to put into words the impact that Henri has had on my personal and professional growth, but one comes to mind – transformational.
It’s not hyperbole to say that my life and career were in a very tenuous, uncertain place when I connected with him. I genuinely thought that I was too big, too loud, too much to build a career, let alone a life in politics and media. But, he got me.
Henri understood what I brought to the table. He helped me see my own potential in all its facets, and guided me with thoughtfulness, openness, and more than a little straight talk – he calls me on my shit while making me believe in my own power and capacity to do more. The me today is far more self-directed, self-assured, and self-aligned than I could’ve ever imagined, and that is thanks in part to the advice and guidance provided by Henri… Like I said, transformational.
If you have the opportunity to be coached by Henri or even have a conversation with him, prepare yourself for a powerful experience and be ready to do the deep work, because it will be worth it for your business, your relationships, your career, and ultimately yourself."
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
I’d considered a coach before but never really thought it could make a difference, I’ve got an MBA and believe I’m smart enough. But then the teacher appeared. And the year spent working with Henri was more powerful than I could have imagined; professionally and personally. When we started I was freelancing and trying to chase my passion project as a hustle. Together we clarified my real purpose, defined the business and then it was off to the races. During this time I was able to transition from the overwhelm of working IN my business to the power of working ON my business, evolving it into something that is sustainable beyond trading hours for dollars.
What a wild ride it’s been.
Working with Henri has been a godsend. I’ve spent 50, scratch that, 49 years developing the tracks in my mind telling me not to want a life bigger…and reinforcing the reasons it’s not achievable. And one year opening my eyes to all the ways I’ve gotten in my own way. Our sessions were always comfortable and thought-provoking. When you show up in your business, you show up as your whole self, so we looked deep at everything from prioritizing and eliminating overwhelm, to improving interpersonal relationships through agreement setting. Although we’ve not actually met in person, Henri is family and a regular appearance in my morning gratitude practice."
"Henri is one of the best in the industry. Working with him is a powerful and transformative experience. Not only was I able to uncover deeper parts of myself that I didn't realize were holding me back, but I was also able to shift from stagnant energy to more motivation and inspiration to reach my goals.
Henri's work gave me the freedom to not judge myself, make decisions that aligned with my values, and focus on the goals that mattered most to me. Plus, he helped me to release the internal dialogues that were preventing me from moving forward.
Because of Henri, I walked away with clarity, new insight, and actionable steps that I can use forever! In addition, I received genuine, authentic, and organic support. He's an active listener and a caring coach. He centers each session around your immediate needs that lead to long-term, empowered transformation. If you want practical growth with heart, mind, and spiritual alignment, I highly recommend him!"
"Being coached by Henri is a gift, and one which has changed the way I understand myself and who I want to be in the world. The space he creates with fierce love and non-judgement feels like a playground in which I can explore what is possible for me and for the world, where I’m holding myself back, what’s in my way, and what needs to shift so I can make the possibility become real. Which, with his help and constant unconditional belief and encouragement, I have started to do. My business has grown and taken on new and better forms thanks to his brilliant questions, thoughtful reflections, nudges and – at the right moments – him calling me out on my BS.
I have built healthier relationships and found ways through seemingly impossible conflicts. I am happier in myself, in who I am, and able to enjoy the life I have more. Henri won’t ever stop at the surface level, he will get to the want behind the want, the goal behind the goal, what really actually matters. He is not afraid to dig deep, and find transformation even in the most seemingly superficial of places. Some of the blocks I have faced have been deeply complicated, including those rooted in trauma. While I have a therapist to do the trauma healing work with, Henri is aware and deeply informed about trauma and so is able to allow us to hold it safely, and explore around the edges of it. It means that we can still focus on moving forward into the future, and no need to delve into the depths of the trauma wounds, but knowing he has the capacity to manage and make space for and awareness of these aspects of me is really significant. Working with Henri is fun, hard, easy, complex, deep, light-hearted, and transformative all at once. I hope that as many people as possible get the opportunity to experience his presence in their lifetime. If it’s an option for you – take it!"
"Henri acts as both guide and provocateur as he shined light in areas I forgot were there and he stretched me beyond limits I never knew I had. His wisdom, attention and support gave me the space to shift out dated beliefs and false truths I had of who I was; so that I can take ownership of who I really am. Thank you Henri for being my guiding light when my batteries needed recharging and reminding me where the recharger is. I can now walk on the path I’ve always wanted to be on."
"Being in Henri’s presence alone makes me a better version of myself! Add his coaching on top of it - wow, truly life changing. He is the real deal! Henri’s innate ability to listen, to hear what I am actually saying and then to distill the information (so I can understand what I am saying) is paramount. One of my favorite things about him is that he is a rebel with a heart of gold and tenderness. I feel so supported, seen and heard in his presence, yet also appropriately challenged and held accountable. The deeper, personal perspectives that he holds space for me to tap into are unique and enlightening - it’s magical really! Another important quality I seek in a coach is intuition, which Henri has in spades! I really cannot recommend Henri enough. I will always cherish and hold dear to my heart the impact he has made (and continues to make) in my life!"
From a client's partner:
"My gal worked with Henri for a year and it was the best year of my life! She learned to develop agreement rather than expectations, organize her thoughts and follow through on plans.. I’ve watched not just her business thrive, but our relationship has grown too. And, through all the dinners of her saying “well Henri said…” I learned a few things that have helped my life and career too. What a great opportunity if you get the chance to work with Henri."
