I’m Nate — a certified YNAB coach and soul-centered guide. I help artists, healers, and purpose-driven professionals turn budgeting into an intentional practice that supports growth, presence, and lasting abundance.
Begin Your Financial Awakening
My journey with personal finance began in 2015, living paycheck to paycheck while working in the food and beverage industry. I had big dreams and a vision for an abundant life, but I quickly realized that ambition alone wouldn’t get me there. I needed a system—a clear, intentional way to manage my money and align it with my goals. That’s when I discovered You Need A Budget (YNAB).
Over time, I didn’t just gain control of my finances—I gained confidence, clarity, and a sense of empowerment. Even with a variable income, the YNAB method helped me smooth out life’s financial roller coaster, bringing balance and perspective to both my budget and my well-being.
Then, my life expanded in extraordinary ways when I met my wife, Courtney. Together, we embraced a lifestyle of adventure and transformation, moving across states and oceans—Arkansas, Hawaii, California, Idaho, Hawaii again, and finally Kansas City, Missouri. Each move presented challenges, but each also became an opportunity to refine our approach, harness our resources, and grow together.
The key to our success? Intentional budgeting, clear planning, and a philosophy that harmonizes the practical with the profound.
Through these experiences, I realized that budgeting isn’t just about numbers—it’s a mirror for understanding life, navigating change, and cultivating peace amid uncertainty. Financial mastery is deeply personal, and when approached with awareness and intention, it can unlock joy, freedom, and fulfillment.
As a Soul-Centered Budget Coach, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore your financial life without judgment. Together, we’ll clarify your circumstances, identify opportunities, and create a path that aligns with your goals, values, and vision for the future. My mission is to help you not just survive your finances, but to thrive in them, cultivating freedom, confidence, and the peace of mind that comes with clarity.
Your brighter financial future isn’t just possible—it’s waiting for you. Let’s step into it together.
“What I enjoy the most is Nate's ability to help you see things from different perspectives. There is so much more to budgeting than just how much money you have in your account. You really have to look at what you're actual priorities are, other than just basic needs, in order to make budgeting work for you. Nate is great at helping with such things… Nate is so knowledgeable and he is always so well prepared, on top of that he is very flexible and he goes above and beyond for his clients.”
— I.F.
“Nate has coached and held me through some of the deepest healing I've ever experienced. Who knew that budgeting would bring up so many "feelings" and so much healing? I'm so grateful for Nate's calm demeanor, vast knowledge, and sage wisdom.”
— M.S.
“Nate is a truly brilliant coach, and working with him has been life-changing. I'm extremely thankful that I took the leap and decided to go for it. If you're thinking about working with Nate, do it. You'll be so glad that you did.”
— A.D.
“[Nate is] the first person I’ve found that approaches money from a holistic/conscious perspective and that’s what I need!”
— J.H.
“Working with Nate literally changed my life… As a creative, I do my best to live as authentically as possible, but when it came to budgeting, it always felt performative and disconnected from who I am and how I live… Now, for the first time ever, I feel grounded and at ease in my relationship with money. I spend less, but experience a sense of greater abundance. I’m saving for retirement, planning for the future, and making decisions that feel aligned (not fear-based).
I can’t recommend Nate more highly — especially if money has felt like a missing puzzle piece, and you’re ready to approach it with more clarity, integrity, and depth.
