About Reggie Harris
About Reggie
I studied computer science, linguistics, and East Asian studies at Harvard, then spent a year at Peking University on a language fellowship. I started my career as an engineer, and later moved into leadership roles at Google and Dropbox. At Google, I was on the teams that launched Chrome and Android. I'm grateful for that time. It sharpened how I think about systems, about teams, about what makes people function well together.
It also clarified what I actually wanted to be doing. I trained as an integral coach at New Ventures West. I got certified in breathwork and healing. I trained as a bodyworker. I sat a hundred days of silent meditation retreat. I became a teacher and director at two improvisational theater companies. I've worked with groups from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, BCG, Adobe, Intuit, and others.
All of it pointed the same direction: toward the inner life of a human being, and toward what happens when someone is finally met with enough presence and care.
What I Offer
I'm a Certified Integral Coach on the faculty of New Ventures West, one of the oldest and most rigorous coaching schools in the world. Integral Coaching starts from a premise most approaches skip: that a human being isn't just a mind with goals. The body matters. The heart matters. The relational life, the spiritual life. Change that doesn't touch all of it doesn't tend to last.
I draw on breathwork, somatic awareness, mindfulness, bioenergetics, the Enneagram, improvisation, and other modalities as the work calls for them. I work with the inner critic, with the inner child, with ancestral and intergenerational patterns, with the emotional currents running beneath conscious life. Spiritual deepening is the ground the rest of the work stands on, not something added at the end.
This takes different forms: one-on-one coaching, group facilitation, improv-based workshops, ceremonies. Different containers, same underlying work.
Who This Is For
The people I work best with have a spiritual life, or they're ready to start one. They might meditate, sit ceremony, or simply sense a current in their experience that the secular world doesn't have language for. Most have already done real inner work: therapy, retreat, some kind of sustained practice. They've hit the point where the next step isn't learning more. It's becoming more available to what's already trying to come through.
If that sounds like you, we should talk.
Why This Work
I was a quiet kid. An observer. I didn't fit neatly into the world around me, and for years that felt like something to fix. I spent a lot of time reading people, trying to sense the undercurrent in whatever room I was in, trying to locate where I might belong.
What I eventually realized is that none of that was a deficiency. The outsider's eye became a capacity for seeing what others miss. The longing for belonging became a commitment to building spaces where people can show up whole. No performance. No impression management.
That thread runs through all of it: the coaching, the improv, the ceremonies, the facilitation work.
When I'm Not Working
I cook. A lot. Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino. Fermentation projects, hand-made pasta, ancient grains. Really anything that catches my attention from world cuisine. I run and walk through my neighborhood in the Berkeley Hills.
