What is love.alchemy.science.?
I’ve spent my life turning “this” into “that.” Welcome to my projects: they contain and express a lifetime of training, experimentation and practice. Each project is a unique way for me to be of service and support. I am one node in a system of friends, fellows, practitioners, doctors therapists and advisors that make all this possible. In concert with a Higher Power of our understanding, this is - love.alchemy.science.
Meraki: food medicine & edible wellness
Meraki is my functional food medicines, elixirs and edibles. Whether it be immunity, inflammation, pain, mental health, physical performance or other body needs - this made to order, custom line of phytonutrient rich consumables can be enjoyed at micro-cafes, markets, retreat kitchens and client wellness kits. Meraki products are made to the specific needs and conditions of a group or for an individual. While I can not advise anyone to use food medicine in lieu of other medicines - I suggest everyone explore their body needs with professionals - and to discover which foods can be their personal source of healing, wellness, and performance
Apothecary: treatments, nutrients & enhancements
The universe is abundant with sacred and strange phenomena: plants, flowers, roots, herbs, minerals, amino-acids, vitamins, phytochemicals and more. Within the apothecary I pray, blend and compound high-concentrate water-based decoctions and whole plant powder-based extracts. For acute treatment or long-term sustainable wellness - nature provides a system of solutions.
LYOS: trauma, addiction & recovery
LYOS is designed for and guided by trauma survivors that pray to live out their recovery in all their affairs. We are a not-for-profit; specializing in interventions for serious trauma survivors, addicts, combat vets, recovery fellows and those suffering from mental and physical health issues.

We are a network of service providers operating within the LYOS protocol.
FARM: Finca Familia Del Alma
The Soul Family Farm was initially a personal “best friend” project with a dear brother and sister. Located in the cloud forests of Costa Rica, near the Chirripo National Park - the remote and divine, the land is pure magic. We have been slowly letting the jungle re-establish itself after decades of coffee farming. Still a “best friend” project - we’re patiently/impatiently enjoying the slow process of becoming organic and friends joining the mission to live, work and be of service in a natural playground that we steward together. The Farm is the long-term sustainable heartbeat for all the projects above; and live-work-play space for our friendship/fellowship community.
CNTRD: innovation consulting
CNTRD was a management consulting firm. We specialized in the planning, design, and management of custom innovation accelerators for profit and non-profit organizations. Our clients came to us for alternative strategies and scenarios. I founded the firm and then grew it with a brilliant and equally wild PhD Candidate (though he looked less like troubadour as he would say). During our six years, we became close friends, personally and professionally evolved, and our lives changed. After we serviced fortune 100 clients, international non-profits and start-ups, I literally walked out of the firm and Michael took over before he decided to sunset it. I stepped into the life I lived behind the scenes while running CNTRD and he took a job as a Strategy Director of a multinational Green Energy Company. CNTRD is where I mastered my problem solving and innovation capabilities. It was also where I woke up to my work addiction. CNTRD was the incubator for love.alchemy.science.. It was the beginning of me returning to what I have always been.
