BOOKS
Written from experience. Built to be useful.
For more than three decades, my work has taken me into mountains, movement, coaching, and the lives of people trying to do things that matter to them.These books come from that experience.Some are practical companions for the journey ahead. Others explore what those journeys can teach us about the way we live.Different books. Different purposes.
The same commitment to paying attention to what experience can teach us.
THE KILIMANJARO COMPANION
After more than two decades and more than fifty climbs of Kilimanjaro, I’ve learned that preparing for this mountain is about far more than fitness.The Kilimanjaro Companion brings together the practical lessons, observations, and philosophy I’ve gathered from years of guiding people toward the summit — from preparation and acclimatization to pacing, mindset, judgment, and the experience of the mountain itself.It was written to help you arrive better prepared, climb with greater understanding, and take more from the journey than simply reaching the top.

HOW NOT TO MISS YOUR LIFE
Over the years, people have often asked me what mountains, movement, coaching, and everyday life have in common.For a long time, I wasn't sure how to answer.Then I realized the answer had never been a method or a philosophy. It was something much quieter.Again and again, I watched lives change—not because people discovered something new, but because they finally recognized something that had been there all along. A conversation they had been avoiding. A strength they had overlooked. A moment they almost missed.I wrote this book because I wanted to explore that idea.Not by offering more answers, but by sharing the observations that have shaped my own life, in the hope that they might help you see yours a little more clearly.
"Certainty was never the requirement. Participation was."
"The poetic cadence and rhythm made the book a pleasure to read. Lots to think about." ~ Ingrid
THE TOTAL BALANCE METHOD
Coming Spring 2027
For more than twenty-five years, my work through Total Balance has begun with a simple idea: before asking the body to do more, we need to understand how it moves.The Total Balance Method will explore the perspective that grew from those years of coaching, observation, and practice — bringing movement, strength, conditioning, and restoration together as parts of the same whole.It is a book about building and preserving the physical capacity to keep participating in your life.Written with Christine De Bellefeuille.
I'd enjoy hearing from you.
