Real guidance for real change
I am a guide, not a guru. I help people return to themselves without fluff or performance, but with truth. I value emotional honesty, personal accountability and the kind of self-awareness that is not always comfortable.
I have lived through what I teach. I know the highs and the lows. I have sat in the chaos of compulsive behavior, done the work to rewire my patterns and now I help others do the same. Whether it is recovery, identity, leadership or simply learning how to be still, I meet people where they are.
At my core, I believe clarity changes everything. I believe structure is not about control. It is about freedom. I believe healing does not happen through shame. It happens through curiosity, presence and the willingness to look at what is really going on.
I am not perfect. I am grounded. I have done the hard work to understand myself and I bring that into every coaching session, workshop and conversation.
If you are ready to untangle the noise, name what is real and build a life that fits you, I would be honored to walk with you through that process.


JOHN BRUNTY
Certified Life and Recovery Coach
I am a certified life coach and certified recovery coach. My work is grounded in two decades of lived recovery, a BA from the University of South Carolina and years of supporting people through addiction, mental health struggles and life transitions.
Since getting sober on September 30, 2003, I have made it my purpose to help others build lives they do not need to escape from. I have worked with both adolescents and adults, guiding them to uncover patterns, strengthen self-worth and create structure that supports their goals.
I bring the same resilience I built through entrepreneurship to every client I work with. My approach is simple: I listen closely, tell the truth and hold people accountable in a way that inspires action without shame.
When I am not coaching, I am likely walking my dogs, Nell and Stella, or indulging my love for crime shows and action movies.
