Meet Vern
Non-Duality Teacher, Healer, and Guide for the Busy Mind
Healing the Busy Mind and Addiction
Vern’s healing practice is tailored to address the challenges of a restless, overactive mind and the grip of addiction. He supports clients in navigating the complexities of neurodivergent conditions and addictive patterns by offering tools to regulate thoughts, emotions, and energy. His work helps individuals move beyond mental noise and compulsive behaviors to uncover inner stillness, clarity, and purpose.
By integrating non-duality, somatic awareness, and energy work, Vern helps clients transmute physical and emotional pain, fostering a state of balance, self-acceptance, and lasting freedom from addiction.

A Path to Inner Peace and Freedom
Vern passionately believes that our natural state is one of pure bliss, peace, and joy. Compulsive thinking, addiction, and societal conditioning often obscure this truth, but through non-dual awareness and holistic practices, anyone can learn to “switch off” the mind, release addictive patterns, and reconnect with their essence. Vern’s teachings reveal that our perceived problems—whether mental, emotional, or behavioral—are not who we are; they are fleeting thoughts and patterns we’ve identified with. By detaching from these illusions, we uncover the freedom and love that have always been within us.
How Vern Works
Vern guides clients to dive beneath the surface of the conditioned mind, exploring the subconscious to uncover their true needs and desires in the present moment. This process often brings profound clarity, and for some, moments of enlightenment. His approach is gentle yet direct, blending non-dual pointing, somatic healing, addiction therapy, and spiritual teachings to help clients connect with their true nature. Vern’s work empowers individuals to overcome addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodivergent challenges holistically, without reliance on external fixes.
A Holistic Approach
Vern’s practice is informed by thousands of years of ancestral wisdom, non-dual philosophy, and modern understandings of neurodivergence and addiction. He uses music, including voice, guitar, hand-pan, crystal sound bowls, and sacred flutes, to create immersive healing experiences. His ceremonies and sessions foster a deep connection to self, ancestors, and the natural world, merging all within the one true Source Energy.
Vern’s Philosophy
You Are Not Your Thoughts or Behaviors: Thoughts and addictions are not real, and you can learn to detach from them, finding freedom in the present moment.
Authenticity is Liberation: Embracing your unique essence leads to true success and well-being.
Challenges Are Invitations: Life’s difficulties, including addiction, are opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
We Are One: By connecting to Source Energy, we realize our unity with all life, dissolving separation and suffering.
Healing is Accessible: Everyone has the capacity to heal and awaken through self-acceptance and conscious awareness.
