Set a bounty on resolving your lifelong issue
To work with us, you set a bounty on resolving your lifelong procrastination, anxieties, or stubborn issue. You pay your bounty only when you feel satisfied.
We help people who have failed to resolve their issue despite multiple years of therapy, coaching, or meditation.
Satisfied clients have said:
Periods of flow… are more frequent and reliable than ever. (5-figure bounty)
I don't feel my life or my relationship is in crisis anymore. (4-figure bounty)
Expressing attraction feels fun now. (4-figure bounty)
We measure our success by whether someone chooses to pay. Wait as long as you need to feel confident in the change.
