About

2023. A friend suggested life coaching.

I said, "Hell no."

Jaxon Peterson - Jungian Coach and Dreamworker

Who am I to tell someone how to live their life? I told him I felt like I should be doing something different. Something that actually meant something. But coaching? No.

He mentioned Jungian coaching was different—that I should look into it. So I did. And I learned that a properly trained coach with ethical codes isn't the same as a social media coach dispensing wisdom from a ring light.

I still believe I'm not someone who should tell others how to live. But now I have tools to help them find their own way forward. That's the difference.

The paperwork

I went deep because I had to know.

Certified through Jungian Coaching School and Institute for Dream Studies. JCS is ICF-accredited—I adhere to ICF ethics. Trained through IDS—I align my dreamwork practice with IASD ethical guidelines.

But credentials are just the paperwork. What matters is that I've lived this work. I dream. I do active imagination. I sit with the uncomfortable stuff. I know what it's like to have your unconscious show you something you didn't want to see—and to be grateful for it anyway.

C.G. Jung said, "The art of interpreting dreams cannot be learned from books." He was right. You learn it by doing it. I've done it.

Here's what I believe.

"If you're on the path, you're at the goal" is only true if you're on your path. Too many coaches let clients follow logical-but-wrong paths because the logic checks out.

The problem with logic is it kills magic. The unconscious doesn't care about your five-year plan. It cares about what's true—even when true is inconvenient.

I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm going to help you hear what you already know.

This isn't therapy. It's not meant to replace it.

Therapy has its place. If you're working through trauma, processing grief, or managing a mental health condition, a licensed therapist is who you need.

This work fills a different gap. It's for people who've done the insight work but need help translating it into action. People who are functional but unfulfilled. People whose problems aren't clinical—they're existential.

If you're not sure which you need, let's talk. I'll tell you honestly.
