I KNEW THEN:
1:1 Coaching
for Men

RELATIONSHIP COACHING WITH RON DOWNS.

Rooted in identity.  Powered by love.

This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you reconnect with the version of yourself that already knows he’s worthy.
 Ron offers 1:1 virtual coaching designed exclusively for men who are ready to grow with intention. These non-clinical sessions are a space to unpack what’s heavy, reflect on what’s real, and rise with a deeper sense of purpose, clarity, and self-respect.

I knew then:
THE MEN’S CIRCLE

Unpack. Reflect. Connect.

The Men’s Circle is a sacred space where men of color can be real—with themselves and each other. No posturing. No judgment. Just powerful, necessary conversations about identity, love, legacy, and healing.

i knew then: Workshops

Love. Connection. Healing. Growth.

These workshops are immersive, heart-centered experiences designed to help you rediscover love as the foundation for connection, healing, and growth. Whether we’re exploring self-love, deepening romantic relationships, or strengthening bonds with friends and family, each workshop blends storytelling, reflection, and practical tools to leave you feeling empowered and inspired to create the relationships you deserve.

Licensed Therapy Services

If you’re seeking licensed therapy, I provide clinical therapy for men of color and their partners through Alma as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Therapy is a separate service from coaching and offered under my professional license. Because these are distinct services with different goals and boundaries, clients cannot switch between coaching and therapy. For more information or to schedule therapy, please visit my Alma Therapy Platform:
