Meet Jaymes
“I do not coach from theory alone. I coach from lived experience, professional experience, and years of personal recovery.”
Like many of the men I work with, my own life has included significant adversity, struggle, recovery and rebuilding. My understanding of this work comes from both lived experience and over a decade working professionally with men navigating trauma, addiction and homelessness, in prisons, on the streets, and in their homes.
MendCoaching exists because I needed this kind of work myself, and couldn’t find it. I built it for the man I used to be.
