about john

John notices what is easy to miss.
He gives his attention to quiet things.
He builds slowly, and listens fully.
He makes room for what matters, even when it does not announce itself.

He is a physician.
But that is only part of the picture.

He is someone who lives in the space between questions and answers.
Someone who has spent years learning how to stay close to what is real.
Not just in medicine, but in conversation. In stillness. In service.

safehug.me is not a brand he created.
It is a reflection of the work he has been doing for a long time.
Work that lives at the meeting point of safety, presence, and touch.
Work that begins with the question,

“What would it take to feel safe asking for a hug?”

This is not a project he launched.
It is something that arrived when he was ready to live it.

He is not here to lead a campaign.
He is here to offer a reminder.
That it is okay to need something gentle.
That asking is brave.
That touch can be sacred.

He would not tell you he has the answers.
But he would meet you with honesty.
And if the moment was right, and you asked,
he might offer you a hug.

And in that moment, you would understand what this is for.

With care,
