Yes! Book My Complimentary 30-Minute Strategy SessionThis Isnât Just About AddictionâItâs About What Drives It
As hard as attachments to a substance or behavior may have been (or still be), addiction rarely begins there.
It begins with a wound and our emotional safety.Â
Often its our coping response to chronic pressure, unresolved pain, trauma, or spiritual disconnection.
Whether itâs alcohol, overwork, perfectionism, porn, or numbing, these coping tools once served a purpose. But now theyâre costing you your energy, your relationships, your joy, and the future youâre meant to live.
You donât need another surface solution. You need a grounded, trauma-informed, body-based approach that meets you where you are and supports the true drivers of addictionâthe emotional patterns, habits, and pressures that have kept you from your highest potential.
This coaching journey isnât just about sobriety. Itâs about emotional safety, nervous system repair, and reclaiming a life that no longer requires escape.
If youâre ready for expert guidance that minimizes the missteps and accelerates your healing, Iâd be honored to explore how this sacred, personalized coaching pathway can support your growth and empowerment.

- Somatic healing and nervous system repairÂ
- Emotional processing and habit repatterningÂ
- Breathwork, ritual, and embodied spiritual practicesÂ
- Psycho-spiritual integration (including Human Design and Gene Keys, if desired)
- Leadership, identity rebuilding, and purpose alignmentÂ

The Addictive Mind vs. The True Self
Addiction isnât a diseaseâitâs a call for reconnection.
The addictive mind is a survival strategy, not a flaw. It disconnects us from our inherent worth and drives us to numb or escape.
Through our work together we identify your unique aspects of your addictive mind to disarm and reintegrate these parts back so they can support our wholeness and becoming.Â
Â
The Addictive Mind:
- Feels fragmented, ashamed, and reactive
- Numbs or over-functions to avoid pain
- Clings to control or chaos
- Lives from fear, trauma, and internalized judgment
The True Self:
- Remembers your inherent worth
- Feels deeply but doesnât drown
- Leads with integrity and presence
- Trusts the body, emotions, and inner wisdom
What Makes This Work Different
Â
Most recovery models focus on behavior and sobriety. They help you stop, but they donât always help you rebuild. Traditional approaches often miss the deeper layers of healingâthe emotional, somatic, and spiritual roots that shape how you cope, relate, and show up in your life.
This work is different because it centers youâyour wholeness, your energy, and the path your soul is asking you to walk.
This coaching journey:
- Treats addiction as a coping patternânot an identity or a lifelong label
- Addresses the root causes: nervous system dysregulation, trauma, and disconnection
- Uses somatic, emotional, and spiritual practices to build embodied resilience
- Personalizes your healing to your unique blueprintânot a one-size-fits-all plan
- Supports you in reclaiming clarity, purpose, and agencyânot just symptom control
This isnât about managing addiction. Itâs about helping you become the person you were always meant to be on the other side of it.
Hi, Iâm Zach Ketterhagen,
I help purpose-driven leaders, empaths, creatives, and heart-centered professionals transform their pain into power, move through deep healing, and realign with their highest potential. My work supports clients in accessing the wisdom of their body, unlocking emotional breakthroughs, and cultivating the clarity and confidence needed to create lasting transformationâmentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
My own journey began after college, when I found myself spiraling through addiction, anxiety, and disconnection. That pain led me to a life-changing chapter at The Himalayan Instituteâa yoga and spiritual community where I began the deep healing and training that now forms the foundation of my work. Itâs also where I became a father to two incredible boys, and committed to a path of authentic leadership, spiritual practice, and service.
For over 18 years, Iâve studied with master teachers in yoga, tantra, meditation, somatic psychology, addiction recovery, executive development, and psychedelic integration. Drawing from these traditions, I help clients navigate life transitions, emotional healing, and purpose realignmentâoffering a multidimensional approach tailored to each individualâs path.
Before founding my coaching practice, I spent more than a decade in product and project managementâhelping organizations in healthcare, wellness, and tech grow through heart-centered leadership and strategic innovation. Today, I bring that same presence, clarity, and soulful insight to every coaching sessionâsupporting clients to lead, live, and love from their highest truth.
Iâm based in Madison, WI and work with clients across the U.S., offering transformational coaching thatâs grounded, intuitive, and designed to catalyze deep healing and embodied change.
