👹 The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world it’s either people or profit.

The Grounded Founder

Well-being is a matter of getting what you want.

However, all too often, founders act as if they have to put their needs and desires on the back burner for the sake of the business, leading to exhaustion and stress. I show founders how to optimize their well-being by unlocking the embodied unconscious, giving them high energy, confidence, and drive for the next evolution of their business.

Founder

The Ecosomatics Institute

Discover how better movement dissolves your self-limiting patterns and deepens your relationship with people, purpose, and the planet.

At The Ecosomatics Institute we're bodying forth a culture of care. 

The state of the world asks for a profound change in the way we relate to ourselves, our communities, and our planet. Ecosomatics is a praxis of connection, exploring the means whereby we encounter the world.

We believe that moving gracefully, healing the wounds of the past, and living a life of meaning are not only possible but necessary if we’re going to leave the world better than we found it. 

Better individuals make for a better world.

Care to join us?

You know how running a business can be exhausting, overwhelming, and discouraging?

I'm devoted to changing that. 

You’re a business owner called to make the world a better and more beautiful place, and despite the difficulties that come with the territory, you’ve been successful enough that cash is no longer a motivator, shifting your focus to greater contribution.

Things look good on paper, and yet…

You may find it difficult to enjoy the successes for which you’ve worked so hard. You struggle to find harmony between your personal and professional responsibilities, experiencing tremendous pressure. You care deeply and put others first, often overextending and depleting yourself in the process.

At times you may feel isolated behind a facade, the walls that come up between you and other people - not to mention between you and your own emotions.

Add to it the fatigue, stress, and chronic symptoms that have taken their toll, and it’s no wonder that you begin to doubt your ability to keep on like this.

When you started, this isn't what you imagined.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

And it doesn't have to be.

You just don't yet know what to do to shift this.

That's where I come in. 

Based on my doctoral research on the unconscious psychology of entrepreneurs, I've developed a reliable framework that will dramatically improve your mindset and mental health, shift you out of knee jerk reactions to stress, and give you peace of mind and grounded presence in your day to day life.

It's possible. 

My clients do it all the time:

"I was able to reveal some deep stories and trauma, and we were able to put together an action plan that helped me relieve those pieces. I can now act instead of spending most of my time worrying. I cannot stress how much Chandler had a massive impact, and to see it happen so quickly was pretty impressive." - Taylor Frame, Focus Funnels

"When I started working with Chandler I was struggling with intense burnout from an entrepreneurial lifestyle. Chandler gently helped me emotionally process these burnouts and how I could build a more sustainable approach to my life. My daily energy levels are dramatically improved; I sustain 4 days/week training, full time work, and have energy for my family at the end of the day." - Rafe Kelley, Evolve Move Play

If you’re ready for a more sustainable, satisfying, and soulful relationship with your work, send me a message, and let’s explore how to use your body’s untapped intelligence to get off the emotional rollercoaster and bring the magic back to your business.
