A student of the inner world.

I'm Anthony — a writer, hypnotherapist, and radio host based in Portland, Oregon. For years I've been obsessed with one question: how do we change our inner experience so we can live more fully in the outer world?

My work explores how attention shapes experience, how presence steadies the mind, and how ancient practices like meditation, yoga, and ritual blend with modern psychology to help us live more fully. As William James wrote, "the greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their mind." Everything I do begins there.

Everyday life is a spell. Learn to cast it well.

I work especially well with thoughtful, creative, or sensitive people — writers, artists, and deep thinkers who feel like their nervous system is stuck on high alert, and who are ready to feel more relaxed, confident, and at home in their own skin.

My book DIY Magic, published by Penguin, is a strange and whimsical guide to creativity — 36 exercises for unlocking the imagination and tapping the magic already in your mind. I also host The Rough Draft on 107.1 XRAY FM Portland — brief, sideways dispatches on the mind, the self, and the small instincts that keep us moving.
