Nathan Maingard | Coaching, Songs & Worth-Ship

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.

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

"I came across Nathan in a recent business retreat. Part of what he does is write songs for people. He came out with a song that has just blown us away as a family. Very few people listened to it without being actually emotional. One of my sons said to me, 'Dad, when I'm big, I'm going to have a song written for my wife,' which I thought couldn't have been higher praise. It's so unique, so original. It couldn't have been better."

Don Hill, custom heart song

"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. The heart song he composed for me as the final wrap-up is a cherished reminder of my true essence and the incredible journey we shared."

Marta Neic, 1:1 work

"The breathwork, ice bath and workshop Nathan took us through were incredible. The highlight was the songwriting workshop. I haven't felt that creative in 30 years. I cried, I had visions. I love my song. It'll be a memory I live with for the rest of my life, and I don't say that lightly."

David Seinker, CEO, Game Changers

"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

"Nathan is a gifted facilitator and space holder, with a grounded, authentic energy and presence. His breathwork sessions are deeply relaxing and profoundly healing, guided by his calm, kind and soothing voice. He has the capacity to hold a safe and inviting space for both men and women. His music and storytelling is a highlight. As a facilitator, Nathan is a breath of fresh air, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to add immense value to an event, workshop or retreat."

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.

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.

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.

A FOREVER LEGACY IN SONG

A song that holds the truest part of you.

Most of us carry a story about ourselves that's smaller than the truth. I take your words and turn them into a song that reflects the beautiful essence of who you really are, underneath the noise. Something to keep for a lifetime, and precious enough to hand down to the people you love, as a piece of the deepest part of your soul.
