TJ / FOUNDER, SPIRIT HAUS

I did not arrive here through a single tradition.

My life forced different worlds together: spirit, illness, medicine, experimentation, business, fatherhood, financial pressure, mentorship, collapse and rebuilding. Spirit Haus grew from learning how to see the whole person and work across those worlds without pretending any one system has every answer.

WHY THIS WORK EXISTS

Built around your journey.

The work begins with where you are, what you are moving through and where you want to go. For some people, that means a single experience. For others, it unfolds over weeks or months through mentorship, personal practices, regular check-ins, ceremony, immersive experiences and integration.

I direct the overall program and remain involved in how its different parts fit together. Years of lived experience, training, independent research and learning from teachers and practitioners inform the work. When a trusted facilitator has something meaningful to contribute, I can bring that work into the program with your agreement. Your choices and boundaries remain central throughout.

Spiritual practice

Spiritual perception began early, through encounters with spirit, heightened sensitivity and experiences that ordinary frameworks could not explain. By his teenage years, TJ was learning from healers, teachers and mentors across Balinese healing and prayer, energy work, sound and tuning forks, ritual, water blessing, clearing, intuitive disciplines, card work, trance and altered states. Decades of direct experience turned that sensitivity into discernment: recognizing patterns, entering difficult inner territory deliberately and knowing how to return grounded. Some practices became part of his work; others sharpened his judgment without being carried forward.

Health + the body

Serious illness made TJ both patient and researcher from the age of twelve. Decades followed through doctors, specialists, hospitals, conventional and functional medicine, testing, procedures, medications, IVs, peptides, biohacking, nutrition and relentless trial and error. Hundreds of thousands of dollars went into treatments, research, training and personal experimentation in search of answers. The experience taught him to look at health and the body as a whole—to consider how systems, history, environment and daily life interact instead of treating each piece in isolation.

Psychedelic study + lived experience

Years as a patient led TJ into independent study and coursework in psychedelic pharmacology, medication interactions, preparation and integration. That path has included ketamine, psilocybin, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT and non-medicine altered states, alongside learning from healers, medicine practitioners and mentors. Much of what he understands came through trial and error: trying available approaches, observing his own responses and giving detailed feedback when the answers were incomplete. It is lived experience—not certification, prescribing authority or medical advice.

Business + mentorship

Building companies and learning from exceptionally successful mentors across very different industries gave TJ a practical view of leadership, strategy, people, money, pressure and execution. He has also navigated business setbacks, financial strain, serious illness and single fatherhood, earning a trusted network of contacts and resources along the way. Mentorship draws on that perspective to help someone see the whole situation, make their own decisions and build structures that can carry change forward.

The enormous beak takes our attention first. The eye belongs to a creature capable of seeing from far above. That tension is why this image belongs here. Something can dominate our view while remaining only one part of a much larger life. My own search has repeatedly required that wider perspective, seeing how the physical, emotional, spiritual and practical parts connect.

THE WAY I WORK

Beyond the ordinary.

Some parts of the work move beyond conversation and everyday experience. Spiritual practice, ceremony, energy work, immersive sensory experiences and psychedelic exploration may become part of your journey. Preparation, intention, prayer, music, silence and the people present can all shape how an experience is held.

What opens through an experience is only part of the work. What you understand from it and carry into ordinary life matters. I remain involved through integration, personal practices and decisions about what comes next, offering support without coercing you toward my beliefs or a path that is not yours.
