Who I work with
My clients are high-performing professionals between 40 and 55 — executives, founders, doctors, lawyers, working parents — who are at an inflection point.
They're successful by every external measure. But their bodies aren't keeping up with their ambition, and their minds need somewhere to go besides the next email. They've hired personal trainers. They've tried therapy. What they actually need is both, integrated, with one coach who can hold the whole conversation at once.
The Montauk Method
The Montauk Method is built on a simple premise: the body is the fastest, most truthful path to mental clarity. We use progressive strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, and breathwork to rewire how you show up — physically and mentally. Then we have the conversations most coaches, and most therapists, aren't equipped to have.
It is not a 12-week program. It is a long-term partnership for people who want real change, not just a finished checklist.
About Nelson?
I've been an athlete since high school.
I played Division 1 & Division 3 tennis, served as a NCAA Head Men's Tennis coach, and have completed more than 10 triathlons and three half marathons. At 50 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life.
Before coaching, I lived several other careers. I started on Wall Street, hold an MBA in finance, and spent two decades in Media and Sports.
For the last ten years, I've coached high-performing professionals into their next chapter — using the body as a gateway to a kind of mental clarity most of them haven't felt in decades. I founded The Montauk Method to do that work without compromise.

WORKING TOGETHER
Coaching is by application. The first step is a free 20-minute discovery call where we look at where you are, where you want to be, and whether what I do is the right fit for you. If it is, we'll talk specifics — programming, scheduling, and pricing. If it isn't, I'll tell you what is. I take on a small number of clients at a time. The work I do depends on it.
