About Michael

Beliefs

It is my belief that we are all well and whole. We come to this life in a state of unity with Source and soon develop amnesia which separates us from this unity. As we face life’s traumas, we make decisions about ourselves with regard to how we must act to remain loved. Becoming well therefore, is the uncovering of these illusions we hold about ourselves as we reconnect our personalities with our Essence and return once more to the realization of our true genuine nature. This genuine nature or Eternal Self is in harmony with everything that exists. It has abilities of awareness, imagination, creativity, intuition and love that are beyond those of our personalities. I believe that these abilities belong to a greater awareness that we each individualize in our own unique way, at the same time we are never separate from it.

Experience

As a Story teller, transformational mentor, spiritual ally,  mythologist, and Martial Arts teacher, I’ve been guiding transformation, meditation and martial arts experiential intensives throughout the United States, England and Ireland since 1991. Nature, mythological stories, and martial arts are exquisite metaphors for life. As they all give direct honest and objective insight and feedback that cannot be denied. I believe studying martial arts is not learning how to fight but learning how to live and love.
I‘ve worked as a healer since 1990 primarily using CranioSacral therapy, Energy Balancing, Integrated Body Therapies, Nutrition and Herbs as starting points for helping people on all levels of life. As I continue to learn and grow, my methods have improved and taken a life of their own, becoming this current expression called Harmonic Alchemy.
Many years ago I had a vision to lead boys through a rite of passage into manhood. That vision became a reality. It’s been more than 25 years now of mentoring boys into men. How profoundly rewarding it is to see those boys again now in their thirties.
I’ve also worked as an Independent consultant/facilitator for VisionPoint Consulting Team, Advantage Performance Group, and Reality Check.
