ABOUT
ME

Simon Pulfrey

I am a dad, spouse, emergency physician, aging endurance athlete, very part-time potter, and dog owner.  I have stepped into coaching as a means of more fully engaging with people wherever they are with life and its inherent joys, losses and challenges.  Since “finding balance” is a dynamic process, I embrace an existential and transformational approach to coaching. The process is an evidence-based, reflective, and supportive coaching engagement where we work together to find your optimal space of development, growth, regeneration, freedom, and performance.
