meet robert e. livingood
Robert E. Livingood is a Self-realization guide, coach, and mentor based in Nelson, British Columbia. Having risen from extreme childhood adversity, researching grizzly bears in the wild, and deep wilderness immersion, he supports people through major life transitions with one-on-one guidance that integrates fitness, movement, meditation, nutrition, and connection to nature. He helps others reclaim purpose, build resilience, and actualize their potential through the redemptive power of inner work and wild landscapes.
Robert brings the wholeness of himself to all his interactions, weaving together story and inquiry as he both guides and holds space. His energy is grounded and touched by the wild, while his wisdom is raw and sincere, drawn from a deep well of personal experience. I consider him a friend and mentor and look forward to continuing the journey alongside him.

Robert is more than a backcountry guide; he leads you on a true journey into nature. The wild has so much to teach us, and Robert has a unique ability to open that world to his clients. A transformative experience.

Robert is a good man with a good heart. The work that he does benefits individuals, the collective, wild animals, and the world. I am grateful for the wisdom, conversations and help that I have received while working with Robert.

Working with Robert has been a very positive and meaningful experience for me. He has a rare ability to hold space that feels both safe and open, allowing me to explore things honestly without feeling judged or rushed.
Through our work together, I’ve gained new perspectives on some long-standing patterns and limiting beliefs, and I’ve developed a greater sense of clarity about how I want to move forward. I’ve also found Robert’s own lived experience and his knowledge of issues around men’s physical and mental health issues very valuable.
Robert is a thoughtful, compassionate and perceptive counsellor, and I’m grateful for the perspective and support he has provided.
