Meet Jeffrey (he/they)
Authenticity Coach, Intuitive Guide & Spiritual Mentor
Ever since I began my journey to become a coach in late 2020, my life and work have been guided by the questions:
Who Am I?
In June 2020, at the age of 49, I hit rock bottom. Despite years of chasing success and happiness, I was engulfed by loneliness, depression, and anxiety. On the surface, my life seemed enviable—a successful career, a return to my home city after 10 years away, and a major career pivot. Yet, deep inside, I felt something was missing.
Just as I began what seemed like my dream job, everything fell apart.
The ideal role I started less than a year prior turned out to be so toxic that I was driven to a complete breakdown. But in the middle of a life-altering burnout, I found a core of strength and clarity that remains unshaken to this day. This deeper self-realization of who I am and my purpose in this life has guided my journey ever since.
I am not defined by my thoughts, emotions, or experiences.
I see myself as a spiritual being having a human experience, shaped by life lessons, my values, core beliefs, and soul’s purpose. As a queer, non-binary, Jewish individual who has faced significant challenges – including sexual assault, severe burnout, and workplace harassment – I embrace the multifaceted parts of my identity with acceptance and compassion.
Where Am I Going?
My journey post-burnout has been one of growth and transformation. I’ve dedicated myself to becoming a masterful, goal-centric coach. I’m a graduate of Concordia University’s Personal & Professional Coach Certification program and Coaches Rising’s The Power of Embodied Transformation. As a Certified Energy Codes Coach and Facilitator, I use energy management and healing to guide my clients towards profound change.
In mid-2021, I launched Silverstone Coaching, realizing my dream of becoming a full-time coach.
I furthered my expertise with Compassionate Inquiry training led by Dr. Gabor Maté, deepening my understanding of trauma’s effects and opening me up to pathways towards healing. My commitment to inner work and spiritual development drives me to help others reconnect with their authentic selves and embrace their own spiritual journeys.
Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to introduce my first newsletter focused on sharing my stories, practices and teachings on authenticity…don’t forget to sign up below!
I’m expanding my offerings with The Authentic Work/Life Incubator Group Program, which builds on my signature 1-on-1 program, developed over 1500 hours spent career coaching more than 250 clients looking to make meaningful change in their work-lives.
My long-term goal is to engage with and foster a community that values spiritual growth and living more authentically.
Why Am I Going There?
Purpose is the north star that keeps us moving forward. During my period of burnout, my purpose was survival and learning self-love. As I healed, it evolved into envisioning and creating a new work-life aligned with my values.
Today, my purpose is to serve others through coaching, intuitive guidance, and spiritual mentorship.
I strive to help individuals transform their lives from the inside out. I believe that personal energy shifts towards self-acceptance and self-compassion can collectively impact and heal the world.
As old systems give way to new possibilities in the world around us, I’m focused on growing as a leader and elder, preparing myself to guide future generations.
If the questions “Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there?” resonate with you, I invite you to explore my services and programs. Let’s embark on a journey towards living authentically and making a positive impact together!

My Team
I’ve always been a dog lover, and adopting my first dog, Daisy, was a dream come true. My furry companions have taught me invaluable lessons in presence, unconditional love, and resilience. I now share my home with three senior dogs—two rescues, Cricket and Gigi, along with my buddy of 16 years, Nermil. My beloved Daisy, though passed, is always with me in my heart. Working from home is sweeter with my team of fur-babies by my side, who bring routine, joy and comfort to my daily life.
