My Story

Adam Guzman-Poole

I didn't come to this work through a textbook. Like many great things, I came to it through my own challenges, my own feelings of inadequacy, and lack of love. This pain inspired a deep soul searching for what love actually is, and how we can live it.

For over twenty years, I have learned from Indigenous Elders, yogis, monks, and scientists, asking the same question in a hundred different ways: How can we love ourselves? How can we love each other? How can we truly love? That search became my life's work, and eventually my book, Lessons on Love — an Amazon bestseller that bridges ancient wisdom and modern psychology into a practical framework anyone can practice.

Along the way, I trained as a therapist, spiritual counsellor, and coach, and I have walked alongside hundreds of individuals and couples on their journey back to love. What I've learned is simple to say but, like many things, takes a lifetime to live:

Love is not something that happens to us. It is a practice, and a choice we must make again and again.

My Approach

Ancient Wisdom, Living Practice

The traditions I've studied are not museum pieces. They are living teachings, and I bring them into the room in ways you can actually use in your daily life.

Evidence-Based Practice

Ancient teachings working alongside modern psychology. I draw on therapeutic modalities including Internal Family Systems, somatic work, and counselling psychology, so the spiritual work stays grounded in what we know about how humans heal.

The 5 Pathways to Love

Everything I teach flows through the framework at the heart of my book: it begins with spirit — your connection to something greater than yourself. From there it flows into self-love, because the way we treat ourselves is always reflected in how we treat each other. And from that foundation, love of another becomes natural, deep, and real.

How We Work Together

When couples work with us, they work with both of us.

In our couples programs, I often work with the men while Andréanne works with the women — and then we come together as four. In this sacred space, old patterns get seen from every angle, and both partners feel truly understood.

Brad WetzlerMemoir Writer and Teacher
★★★★★

"As a somatic practitioner of almost 20 years, I greatly appreciate how Adam's work names and invites love into body-based healing practices. It greatly supports the nervous system to settle and reconnects us with our core being through grace."

Jaya HollohanMA, SEP
★★★★★

"If your experience is like mine, prepare for your work with Adam to be transformative. Imagine being suddenly transported outside of your challenges, frustrations, and problems — standing next to a thoughtful guide as you observe these issues together and gain fresh perspective. If a perspective shift is in order to help you gain clarity and confidence in pursuit of your ultimate purpose, do yourself a favor and have a conversation with Adam. You won't regret it."
