It's difficult for words to capture all of the nuances of working with Michael, but I'll give it a try:
- I feel so nourished emotionally. I feel like he completely gets and meets me. I can relax into the space he creates. It's like his presence alone is enough to bring out what's inside me that I've been wanting to bring to life.
- He doesn't try to fix my issues or even see them as issues. I've found that I can be quite good at fooling people into believing that I'm powerless and incapable, and get them to pity me. Michael sees through that in a gentle, loving, always humorous way. There's no forcing, and it's like I'm gently guided to feel motivated and have tools to bring to whatever situation it is that I'm facing.
- Every session is unique -- from changing mindsets to emotional release to just making me feel seen and gotten.
- Michael goes beyond teaching me how to fish. He shows me the resources I have within that already has a sense for this, or can figure it out, learn, or ask for help -- and be able to learn anything else.
- I usually end each session feeling more grounded, capable, embodied, and powerful. I notice that after sessions I'm more able to hold my space and go into something challenging, whether it's approaching someone I'm attracted to, or leading a social gathering, or asking for a raise.
I think Michael is all-around the best coach I've worked with, who meets me where I'm at and understands me in many profound yet simple ways. It's always a pleasure to work with him and be in his presence. read more
