Everything is waiting within you

MAJOR Brad Gallup

USMC, USAF

My life is about being of service and helping people heal. My passion as a Transformative Coach is guiding folks to look in a new direction that transforms their lives. Often I bring horses into the conversation, which accelerates deep insight, utilizing my training as an Equine Guided Educator.

I served my country for 21 years, both as an enlisted Marine and as an Air Force Officer, retiring with the rank of Major. Over the course of my career as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer I was responsible for leading seven different fighter squadrons, each with 400 personnel, 26 fighter aircraft and assets valued over 550 million dollars.

My healing journey started 30 years ago after returning from Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm; in severe emotional pain, I wanted to end my life. Through processing my own grief, I discovered I have the capacity to be supportive, empathetic, and present for others who were suffering over life losses.

The discovery of this new capacity led me to become a certified Grief Facilitator with the non-profit Tragedy Assistance for Survivors (TAPS) and have worked with TAPS for 22 years, counseling military children who had lost loved ones. I was on staff and worked with the Men’s Leadership Alliance for close to three decades, where we guided men to discover their soul’s work and deepen their connections with their spouses, children and communities. Additionally, I am honored to be a co-founder of the Warrior Storyfield in Longmont Colorado, bringing veterans and civilians through a communal art project.

I’m currently on staff at Save A Warrior where I lead cohorts of men and women, veterans and first responders, through the nation’s premier suicide prevention program known as the SAW Experience.

Services

Recently I discovered there is a part of me that is untouched, even after being in a combat zone and experiencing the stress and trauma of that experience. This insight changed everything, changed how I experience the world. This realization, that I am not broken regardless of any military or life experience, has infused me with a calmness that is showing up more and more in my daily activities. I have a new sense of clarity of purpose, and more creativity that is showing up in all aspects of my life. My clients often are delighted to discover their genius, and a new lease on life.

True Nature Discovery

I coach people to access their wisdom. Through our time together, they discover more connection, creativity, and calmness in all aspects of life.

Equine Guided Transformation

Patiently and gently, horses guide us to look in a new direction for the wisdom that sits quietly under our whirling logical thoughts.

Grief and Loss Relief

Does suffering serve us as the only way we can stay connected to our loss? When I began to truly see where my feelings come from that actually became a stroke of insight and changed my life.

The Resilient Warrior

The ability to adapt to adversity and overcome barriers is critical to a warrior’s strength. This skill – resilience – can characterize both physical and psychological strength.
