About Zachary Pike Gandara

Zachary Pike Gandara

Zachary Pike Gandara is the founder of BreakBox Coaching, a Self-Mastery ecosystem rooted in Jungian psychology, archetypal shadow work, and transpersonal alchemy. As a Certified Jungian Transpersonal Practitioner and widely regarded modern-day shaman by those he’s served, Zac has helped hundreds of leaders reclaim their authentic power—unlocking clarity in business, depth in relationships, and vitality in their physical well-being.

Zac blends Jungian psychology, nervous system regulation, spiritual science, and shamanic journeying into a grounded transformational method that helps high achievers integrate their ego, reclaim their shadow, and become securely attached and sovereign from within.

Clients often describe Zac as a Quantum Mirror—his presence reflects people back to themselves in a way that is undeniable, unedited, and deeply transformative. His gift lies in helping people see what’s been running them unconsciously—and then guiding them to reprogram it at the root. He teaches people how to decode their inner world, access deep parts of the subconscious, and walk with their wholeness in every area of life.

Zac carries what he calls Catalytic Presence—an energetic field that opens portals in others. When meditating or journeying with him, clients consistently access soul memories, inner children, archetypal landscapes, and forgotten wisdom they simply can’t reach alone. As a Transpersonal Channel, he bridges the personal and collective unconscious, helping others retrieve lost parts of themselves and rewrite the story of who they are—often without needing to “understand” how it works.

Zac’s calling to empower changemakers and conscious entrepreneurs has also led him to serve as VP of Community Engagement for ThriveHub Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to creating ecosystems of connection, collaboration, and growth for mission-driven founders.

Whether through powerful 1-on-1 coaching, meditation journeys, immersive group experiences, or his teachings on authentic leadership and secure attachment, Zac is a trusted guide for those ready to lead from within.

His mission is to guide one million souls into freedom—clearing the inner blocks, trauma, and conditioning that keep them from living and leading as their true selves.

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-liberation.

I am grateful to meet you!

I specialize in guiding leaders, changemakers, and high-achieving individuals through the deep, accelerated journey of self-mastery. Rooted in Jungian psychology, shadow integration, and ancient wisdom traditions, my work helps you decode the hidden patterns driving your behavior—so you can reclaim your power, release past trauma, and step into your highest potential.

Through the BreakBox method, we harmonize your inner parts, recalibrate your nervous system, and train you to lead from your Authentic Self—not your ego, fear, or past conditioning. This is not just healing. This is evolution.

The result? Clarity in your mission. Freedom in your body. Peace in your relationships. And a life that finally feels like yours.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
— Carl Gustav Jung

Born from Pain, Built for Freedom: How BreakBox Came to Life

BreakBox Coaching exists because I lived through everything I now guide others through.

I grew up inside a strict religious system that masked control and narcissistic abuse as spiritual guidance. The message was clear: obey, conform, don’t question. That kind of upbringing doesn’t just shape beliefs—it shatters your sense of self. I spent years climbing the ranks to become a mega-church pastor, preaching what I was taught, while secretly feeling the deep inner dissonance of a life that didn’t feel like mine.

In my 20s, I faced a life-threatening health crisis—my kidneys failed due to neglect caused by the same religious ideology that feared medicine. While on dialysis, I spent years studying the Bible in its original languages (Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic), completing a BA and Master’s in Theology. I read it cover to cover 13 times. And in doing so, I deconstructed the very foundations of the system that shaped me.

My awakening was brutal—but it was real.

Add to that 17 surgeries, a kidney transplant, the pain of divorce, and a long journey from anxious to secure attachment… and you begin to see why BreakBox was never just a business. It was a necessity.

BreakBox is the path I had to create to survive—and now offer to others so they can thrive.

It’s not just coaching. It’s a dojo for self-mastery.

It’s how I help founders, leaders, and changemakers break free from the trauma loops, false identities, and emotional chaos that keep them stuck in suffering and performance.

As a Certified Jungian Transpersonal Practitioner and modern-day shaman, I now lead others into freedom, authentic leadership, and union within. My work integrates Jungian shadow work, nervous system mastery, inner union work, and real-time transformation—not theory.

I now serve as VP of Community Engagement at ThriveHub Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering conscious entrepreneurs. And through BreakBox Coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of leaders evolve into their truest selves—so they can live, love, and lead in alignment with who they actually are.

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-liberation.

The self-help industry is a $40 billion machine built on the belief that you are broken and need to be fixed.

That is a lie.

BreakBox is the remedy.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Your suffering and pain aren’t problems to eliminate—they’re messengers, revealing what your inner world needs in order to heal, grow, and evolve.

Pain is the portal, not the problem.

You don’t need to be “fixed.”

You need to learn the language of your inner world so you can reclaim your power, integrate your truth, and become the master of your own Self.

This is Self-Mastery.

This is BreakBox.

In service to your Self-Mastery and inner leadership, Zachary Pike Gandara
