Spiritual Development

+

Apricus is your sanctuary for emotional support and spiritual development.

Our approach is deeply rooted in the transformative power of somatic coaching, where we guide you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and unlock your own profound healing capabilities.

It is also focused heavily on the development, incorporation, and maintenance of a gratitude practice that works specifically for you. 

If you have chosen or are curious about a journey of psychedelic integration, we can help you embrace it by providing a safe and nurturing space to process and incorporate your experiences, fostering grounding, interpretation, personal growth, and self-discovery.

Apricus will never pressure you one way or the other and does not recommend or suggest any entheogenic medicines, but we are well versed in plant medicines and can help support you as you conduct your own research and make the right decision for yourself.

This support extends before, during, and after your chosen ceremonies or journeys and we have many coaching options available to those who wish to work with these medicines.

If it is right for you, our expert facilitators provide you with appropriate breathwork practices, harnessing the life force within to promote balance and inner peace.

Staying on the cutting edge of industry research and polyvagal theory, our methods are designed to regulate your nervous system, cultivating a sense of safety and connection to yourself and the higher power that resonates with you, if one resonates at all.

We encourage further reading and continuous learning, providing resources that deepen your understanding and enhance your practice.

Each session with us is a step towards harmony, and each moment you spend shifting your consciousness towards authenticity is an opportunity for transformation.

What People Are Saying...

{The remarkable thing is, I feel stronger and fitter physically, mentally and emotionally at 51 than when I was at 31. I feel more in control over my depression and anxiety than those two negative energies having control over me. But the ultimate gift Rich gave me was a two-fold one: a stronger, healthier me and a stronger, healthier marriage. He took on both my husband and me as individual clients. I cannot emphasize enough how much this has enhanced my relationship with my husband. Between Rich’s individually customized fitness plans and one-on-one sessions with him, it helped us, as individuals, get back into shape, better regulate emotions and be more self-aware. As a result, the work elevated us as a couple. We communicate better, we hold each other’s spaces better, and we love each other better.

{Rich will go out of his way to make sure you have everything you need to succeed and reach your goals. The family vibe is strong and supportive. He's gone above and beyond in every possible way, even creating a specifically built home program based on my needs and equipment while in another state.

{The difference between Rich and other coaches I’ve had is that Rich saw me for who I could be, before I could begin to imagine that person. The woman he saw was one that would go on and break a national deadlifting record. When I broke that record I remember turning to Rich with surprise and all he said was “I knew you would.” From this moment on, I too began to believe in myself and my confidence in life has grown.

{My experience with Richard led to the best years I have ever had. When I first met Richard I had a bad back, always in pain, and had a chiropractor I saw every week. I was skinny and didn't have much confidence, and for me the gym was the last place I ever thought I would love. With his help and encouragement I can say I am a better man. I don't go to the chiropractor anymore, I am almost 200 lbs, and also competed in a strong man competition and you can't do that without confidence. Thank you!!!

{Rich’s approach has been incredibly supportive and understanding, particularly of my desire to use physical fitness as a tool for improving my mental health. He’s provided valuable guidance on breathing techniques, helped me seamlessly integrate workouts into my daily routine, and most importantly, alleviated the guilt I used to feel about taking time for myself. I can’t speak highly enough of Rich as a coach. I genuinely look forward to our sessions and the insights I gain each week.

Dana W., Community Engagement Specialist, Army Veteran
{Rich totally recognized my personal challenges and coached me through those challenges. Rich would zoom with me weekly until I was ready to graduate to monthly zooms. We used one on one coaching & video chats to guarantee proper technique. Training the mind & body together has proved to be a successful formula for me.

Leonard C., Navy Veteran
{Since the day I met Rich I knew he was a man who cares deeply for his brothers and sisters in the veteran community. He not only opened up his gym to me and others and provided a safe space for us to train and share our weekly victories and losses but Rich has also become my coach, mentor and friend in less than 2 years. He's helped shape me into the man I felt I had lost when my uniform came off and when I separated from the Army. He has shared with me a wealth of knowledge that I can now carry and implement into my everyday life to continue to be a bigger, faster and stronger version of myself both physically and mentally. I owe a debt of gratitude and appreciation for the time and energy Rich put into my 6 months of fitness and nutrition programming. As an athlete I want my coaches to look like my goals (healthy and fit) and Rich fits that mold perfectly.
