Break & Flow
Stop Converting and Start
Creating
Healing doesn’t come from finding the “right” path — it comes from reclaiming your own. The Break and Flow Framework helps seekers do exactly that. First, we break from internalized shame and rigid ideologies that never made room for our full story. Then, we flow into a rhythm of personalized spiritual practices drawn from heritage, embodiment, creativity, and community. These rituals are hybrid, trauma-informed, and emotionally resonant — designed not just to “heal,” but to unlock what you truly long for: sustainable energy, spiritual clarity, meaningful belonging, and the freedom to shape a life that feels holy, not hollow. This isn’t about becoming a better believer — it’s about becoming whole.
About North
A Break & Flow Life
I didn’t learn the Break and Flow Framework in a classroom or under a guru. I pieced it together in the wreckage of my own life — after years of spiritual devotion, therapy, and self-help left me more fragmented than whole. I had been on the mountaintops of vocational fulfillment, love, purpose and passion. And I had repeatedly tumbled down to the valley floor of despair, confusion, and regret.
I was exhausted from trying to fit myself into systems that couldn’t hold the full complexity of my story, my heritage, or my trauma. Then I realized, what rescued me from each catastrophe wasn’t a conversion. It was creation.
I learned to reclaim forgotten truths, remix inherited rituals, and design practices that spoke to my real, embodied life. Over time, I found something sacred: not a new religion (I'm no guru, pastor or prophet), but a rhythm. This is not a doctrine, but a home. That’s what I now offer to others — a path back to themselves.
Why choose this approach?
Break and Flow offers a uniquely integrated approach to healing. It's not just about trauma recovery. It's not just spiritual formation. And it's not woo-woo pop spirituality. We mine your heritage for the good and the not-so-great rituals, remix them to be trauma-informed and embed them in your story and identity to heal your wounds and connect you with God through sustainable and life-giving rhythms, so that you can live the life you were made for.
Expertise & Experience
I’ve spent decades navigating — and surviving — the failures of religion, therapy, and pop-spirituality to hold the weight of real trauma, and through that lived crucible, I’ve developed a grounded, culturally rooted, and creatively alive framework that has not only transformed my own life, but is now guiding others toward lasting healing, spiritual authority, and a second act that feels like destiny, not damage control.
Holistic, Integrated
Most frameworks talk about being “holistic,” but they rarely move beyond buzzwords — offering surface-level balance without true integration. The Break and Flow Framework goes deeper: it weaves heritage, embodiment, creativity, and community into living, personalized rituals that heal not just the mind or spirit, but the story, the body, and the self — all at once.
Personalized Guidance
I promise to walk alongside you — not as a guru with all the answers, but as a fellow traveler who’s been through the fire and found a way forward. I will honor your story, your roots, and your rhythm, offering personalized care as you co-create a spiritual life that feels like it was made for you — because it will be.
We discover, create, and share spiritual practices for trauma-healing and connection with God.
We begin with discovery — unearthing the buried wisdom in your story, ancestry, and embodied experience. Then we create — designing rituals that are not inherited by force but chosen with intention, rooted in heritage and responsive to your real emotional and spiritual needs.
Finally, we share — cultivating brave community where your healing is witnessed, your practices are celebrated, and your connection to God becomes not just personal, but communal and enduring
Disoriented
You’ve tried religion, therapy, and self-help — yet still feel spiritually scattered, emotionally exhausted, and unsure where to turn next. This framework gives you a clear, grounded path forward.
Ashamed
You carry a quiet fear that your past disqualifies you from peace, purpose, or divine love. This framework helps you rewrite that story with dignity and truth.
Alone
You’ve felt like no system, community, or practice can hold all of who you are. This framework was built to do exactly that — and you won’t walk it alone.

Meet North Cady
North is an accomplished artist, a published author, a consultant and coach. He is a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, and Certified Art Therapy Practitioner. Having lived in the United States, British Columbia, and Papua New Guinea, and having traveled to 6 of 7 continents, he has acquired a global perspective on community, mental health, and spirituality. Trained as an artist and a sociolinguistic field researcher he has the head of a scientist and the heart of a mystic.
A creative from a young age, North's spirituality has always been eclectic. North's cosmology is rooted in the universality of human dignity and the particularity of Jesus Christ, a first century itinerant Jewish rabbi who was so much more than a human teacher, and yet so thoroughly human! Far from being a "Christian counselor" or "Christian life coach" North serves people from any and all faith backgrounds and is adept at balancing both the unifying principles that help humans thrive and the particular cultural nuances that individuals rely on to heal. North specializes in complex PTSD, and works with creative folks who are ready to stop recycling their trauma, and start assembling a constellation of practices that work for them.
Healing is possible regardless of your tribe. Churches, counseling offices and pop-spirituality alike can all have both positive and negative impacts on your healing and connection with the Divine. It is through creative integration that true and lasting healing is found.
Personally, his calling is to heal, cultivate, beautify and liberate everything around him. He does this by striving to bear God's image in himself and inviting others to glimpse God's image in themselves. You can find his books, art, and other ventures in his bio page.
