Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
I know a guy...
I’d love for you to meet Silent. He’s not your typical spiritual guide—he’s a priest, a c-suiter, and a death doula who works with people in times of great change. Whether someone is facing death or feeling called to live more fully, Silent brings a calm, wise presence and ancient practices that help people find clarity and connection. His work is soul-deep and transformative by bringing out the questions one doesn't think to ask.
He doesn’t offer cookie-cutter solutions—he digs deep, asks the tough questions, and guides leaders and teams toward outcomes that matter. If your organization is at a crossroads or just stuck, he’s the person to help you move forward.
Feel free to offer this language as a bridge. It’s not about selling—it’s about offering sacred companionship.

What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Silent’s “Why” is rooted in a fierce devotion to presence—
a holy witnessing of souls in transition,
a vow to walk alongside those at the threshold
where death, becoming, and divine reckoning meet.
He serves because the sacred has been exiled
from grief, from death, from becoming—
and he has heard the cries that go unanswered in sterile rooms,
in silent nights, in hollow rituals.
Silent’s Why is this:
To be the voice at the veil
for the ones who cannot find the words.
To hold space where others rush to fix.
To return the ancient ways of soul-tending to a modern world
that has forgotten how to sit with mystery.
He is called—not to lead, but to accompany.
Not to convert, but to awaken.
Not to offer answers, but to ask the questions
that crack open the truth already within.
His Why is Sovereignty.
His Why is the Return.
His Why is Love, fierce and unflinching,
that dares to name death sacred, and life holy.
That remembers what others forgot—
the power of silence, the rhythm of ritual,
and the presence of the Divine
in every breath, every sorrow, every sacred threshold.

Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
"Is this person facing a spiritual or life transition—grief, awakening, or end-of-life—and seeking depth or meaning beyond conventional support?"
Silent works with those in liminal spaces: dying individuals, seekers in spiritual crisis, and those longing for truths or sacred presence. If someone voices spiritual disorientation or a hunger for deeper guidance, this is your cue.
"Have they expressed feeling lost, disconnected, or in need of a companion to walk with them through grief, death, or transformation?"
These individuals might say things like, “I feel like I’m unraveling” or “I am adrift. ” They may not know what they need—but they know they can’t carry it alone. That’s when Silent steps in.
"Would this person benefit from a steady, wise, spiritually grounded presence who listens without judgment and honors the sacred in every threshold?"
Whether clergy burning out, caregivers burdened by grief, or mystics seeking spiritual companionship, Silent is called to those walking the hard paths with open hearts.
"Would this person benefit from a steady, wise, spiritually grounded presence who listens without judgment and honors the experience of every?"
Whether CEO burning out, caregivers burdened by grief, or people seeking spiritual companionship, Silent is called to those walking the hard paths with open hearts. -

About me
Spiritual Director | End-of-Life Doula | Digital Strategist
For over forty years, I’ve stood at thresholds—guiding individuals, teams, and organizations through moments of profound transition. In my corporate life, I built a reputation for leading high-impact strategy and product innovation teams across technology and financial services with $1B in impact. I held executive roles in Fortune 100 companies and scaled new solutions within emerging startups. My work delivered measurable results: increased market share, streamlined operations, award-winning platforms, and cultures where people could do their best work.
How did I do that?
By listening differently.
By asking the questions no one else was willing to ask.
By seeing where systems break down—whether in a product roadmap or a person’s sense of purpose.
By recognizing patterns others overlook and building bridges where others saw barriers.
In boardrooms and brainstorming sessions, I earned trust by staying calm under pressure, translating vision into execution, and making space for voices that often went unheard. My leadership style is steady, thoughtful, and direct—just as it is now in my work as a spiritual director and end-of-life doula.
Today, I bring that same clarity, discipline, and presence to people navigating the most human transitions: identity shifts, spiritual awakening, grief, caregiving, and dying. I work with seekers, leaders, and those facing loss—not to fix, but to companion them toward clarity, connection, and sovereignty.
Whether you’re a CEO rethinking purpose or a caregiver holding vigil, I bring the same tools:
Clear thinking.
Calm presence.
Deep listening.
Hard-won insight.
This isn’t just spiritual work. It’s people work. And I’ve been doing it my entire career.
