- Waiting for all of us is freedom...
A spacious life where fear & negativity are transformed into love
- INTEGRATIVE COACHING WITH ROGER MANIX
ABOUT
We all come from somewhere.
And along the way, we lose sight of our worth in the world.
It happens to all of us.
As a result, thoughts, habits and behaviors unconsciously drive our choices which keep us stuck in the very place where we separated from our worth. Stuck in fear, anger, worry and discontentment.
From the true nature of all that makes us good, unique and safe.
From our potential.
The good news is there is a solution.
All it takes on your part is the bravery to begin, and a willingness to change.
WHAT TO EXPECT: INTEGRATIVE COACHING
The sessions are a combination of both physical work and verbal exploration.
My certification in Family Constellations is the foundation of my practice. The modality was created by Dr. Bert Hellinger, M.D., and is a healing approach designed to help reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or relationship in order to address any stressors impacting these relationships, how they’re playing out in our lives, and how to heal them.
Core Energetics, created by Dr. John Pierrakos, M.D., also informs my practice. The work focuses on the balance and flow of energy between body, mind, emotions, spirit, and will in order to promote healing. Spending a decade in that modality myself, I know firsthand the power of moving the body to gain higher consciousness.
I also developed a play-based learning curriculum while guest lecturing at Stanford University to teach empathy, togetherness and creativity. Over the years, I’ve transformed that curriculum into a dynamic tool for healing.

Sessions are 55 minutes, and can be virtual or in-person at my NYC office.

About Me
I grew up in a home with addiction, in addition to being viciously bullied at school for being gay. From a young age, I didn’t feel safe in the world, like I belonged.
My own journey has led me to many coaches, therapists, practices, and certifications. The time I’ve spent learning alongside Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön, Family Constellations, as well as my own experience with Core Energetics, have all contributed to my own personal healing journey.
I’ve been a college professor since 2007, with an area of focus on play, and a published author with Routledge Press.
I developed the first-of-its kind course at The New School using play-based learning to teach empathy.
I am a coach, not a therapist. My work is not a substitute for any professional or medical consultation. Results of integrative coaching are not guaranteed and are dependent on the individual.
In this TEDx talk, I share my own personal journey with being a bullied kid, and how that led me to my life’s work – using play to uplift the potential of others, and create joy.
