Luke's Background
Luke Schartiger is a U.S. Army Iraq combat veteran with a career spanning military service, federal contracting, and law enforcement. He went on to work alongside Joint Special Operations Forces as a Department of Defense contractor in Afghanistan and Africa. Back home, he continued his commitment to public service through multiple roles in law enforcement, leading teams and navigating complex operational environments. Luke holds degrees in Intelligence Operations and Criminal Justice, a master’s in Human Services Counseling, and a graduate-level certificate in Criminal Justice. He is a certified trauma-informed wellness coach and a 6-phase meditation instructor. His background blends operational leadership, mental health, and personal development, allowing him to support individuals and teams in high-pressure environments through grounded, practical guidance.
Today, Luke works with veterans, first responders, and mission-driven professionals through a unique blend of performance coaching and deep psychospiritual work. Drawing from his experience in shadow work, trauma integration, and altered states facilitation, he helps clients navigate internal blockages, build emotional resilience, and align with a deeper sense of purpose. His work creates space for transformation—helping clients move beyond symptom relief to live with authenticity, purpose, and a grounded sense of self.
​
Whether supporting a client through moral injury, PTSD, grief, addiction, burnout recovery, or executive decision-making, Luke brings a rare combination of lived experience, clinical insight, and transformational tools. His approach is direct, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that true strength comes from confronting our internal challenges and using them as fuel for meaningful change.
HOW WE GOT STARTED
WHY DELTA-LEVEL CONNECTIONS?
Painful experiences, haunting memories, deep-seated traumas, and shame can cause suffering so intense it feels like life is too much to bear. We understand because we've been there too. We struggled to talk about our experiences, fearing judgment, and found it even harder to process or find meaning in them. It wasn't until we were on the brink of losing everything that we recognized the urgent need for change.
​
Our goal was to create the kind of wellness practice we desperately needed during our darkest times—a safe haven where we could seek help without the fear of shock, offense, or alienation. We envisioned a place where everyone could feel accepted, embraced, and cared for, which we believe is only possible through building trust. Trust in our partnership, trust in the healing process, and trust in the judgment-free environment we cultivate. Delta-level Connections was established for everyone who finds it hard to trust—here, things are different.
WHY IT MATTERS

It requires bravery to take that next step forward, and we recognize the courage it takes. We are here to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.
