Jim Barnum

The first part of my life was full of wildness, achievement & adventure. I was a professional snowboarder & sponsored skateboarder, founder & 17 year owner of an award-winning international skateboard park company which I went on to sell, & finally a project manager & senior design consultant. Through those exciting decades I was also immersed in personal & spiritual work from therapy & NLP to meditation, yoga & plant medicine, to multiple 6 month trainings with the School of Sacred Awakening, where I eventually became a co-facilitator.

From there I went on to become an International Coaching Federation (ICF) trained Life Coach & an RYT 200 yoga teacher, also founding a Men's Group & apprenticing under a Transformative Breathwork facilitator.  Now living in West Vancouver, BC, my focus remains on Life Coaching & yoga. That said, I find great satisfaction in keeping a hand in "the real world" by continuing my work in design & business, the ultimate testing ground for my personal & spiritual growth.
