COACHING • SONGS • HONEST CONNECTION

You're already worthy.

I'm a coach, musician and facilitator, holding space for people to find their way back to themselves, through one-on-one work, songs, and honest connection.

Songs for Joy live every Wednesday, 4pm Cape Town time.

HI, I'M NATHAN

A safe place to put the mask down.

Most of the people I work with look fine from the outside. Sorted, even. Inside it's a quieter story: the self-doubt that never quite leaves, the feeling that you have to perform to be worth loving, the tiredness of holding it all together.

I'm a musician, coach and facilitator, and I host the We Are Already Free podcast. My work takes a few shapes: one-on-one coaching and mentorship, weekly livestreams and songs for joy, and retreats and keynotes for leadership groups. What they share is the same thing, a space where you can put the performance down and feel what's actually true. Sometimes the way in is breath, sometimes story, sometimes just being met without having to earn it.

The old root of the word worship is worth-ship: the condition of being worthy. Not something you achieve. Something you remember. That's the whole of my work, helping you remember you were already enough, long before the striving began.

If you feel things deeply and you're tired of pretending you don't, you're in the right place.

Certified breathwork facilitator, Body-Based Breakthrough™ coach, and InnerLifeSkills pro coach.

IN THEIR WORDS

People say it better than I can.

"Nathan's livestreams are my Sunday church now. I ended up in the emergency room and spent ten weeks bedridden, with only Netflix and boredom, which started to get me down. Until one day Nathan's face popped up online. I joined his livestream and, as he played, I suddenly felt lifted. The next morning I woke, washed, got dressed, and picked up my guitar. When I say Sunday with Nathan is my church, I really mean it."
Lee, livestream community
"Before working with Nathan, I was in a deep pit of depression and despair. After just a few sessions, I felt life returning to me, stronger than ever. Nathan's tools and exercises were perfectly balanced to challenge me without overwhelming me."
Marta Neic, 1:1 work
"I was ready to give up. Nathan's music helped bring me out of a depression brought on by the loss of my wife to cancer. I hope his songs reach other people and help them as it did me."
Charles, listener

ONE-ON-ONE WORK

Some things can't be solved from the outside.

Being stuck in your own head hasn't helped you find your way. It's a storm in your mind, with no shore in sight. What you need is a lighthouse.

We might be a good fit if...

  • you feel lost and lonely
  • you're feeling stuck because of a fear of failure, or a lack of direction
  • you're struggling to connect with who you really are
  • you're unsure about a new direction in your business or personal life, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain
  • you're carrying something difficult, and struggling to navigate it on your own

We work with breath, presence and honest conversation, sometimes one session, sometimes months, until what's true stops hiding and starts leading.

1

Book a conversation

No pitch, no pressure. We talk about what's actually going on and whether this is a fit.

2

We find the shape that fits

One session, or ongoing work over months. Whatever you actually need, not a fixed package.

3

You find your way back

Breath, presence and honest conversation, until what's true stops hiding and starts leading.

Before I met Nathan, I was barely a 2 out of 10 in living my true self. Through his coaching I rediscovered my voice and found my purpose. Now I'm proud to say I'm living my truth fully.
Rebecca Saldanha, coaching client
I had imposter syndrome, doubting my ability to pursue my goal. Nathan showed me the answers were already inside. The pressure of trying to be "good enough" fell away.
Stacey Astley-Clark, coaching client
I felt confused, fragmented, stuck. I came away with a strong sense of my authentic self. His coaching put me in the driver's seat to my own transformation.

Sometimes clients leave a longer container with a song written from their own words. Ask me about a heart song.

FOR LEADERSHIP GROUPS & FORUMS

I also create these experiences specifically for EO, YPO and leadership teams.

Booking something for your forum is a risk. You want it to land: fun, but not shallow, deep, but safe, something that gets people genuinely connecting instead of performing. That is hard to do, and it is the thing I do best. People open up fast, go somewhere real together, and leave talking about it for months.

  • Keynotes & live song experiences for retreats and forums
  • Half-day and full-day workshops
  • Custom-designed retreats with breathwork & ice
  • "Forever songs" that keep working long after
