I went to Michael after having tried so many different medical interventions for my feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness… I can now say that I feel lighter than I have in decades.

MY APPROACH

Something in you already knows that what you’ve been doing isn’t working. The therapy, the medication, the meditation apps, the willpower… and yet here you are, still carrying the same weight.

Expanded states work is one of the most powerful tools for healing and self-discovery known to human civilization. Every culture across time has used these techniques to break through the armor of the self to reach the truth that ordinary consciousness keeps just out of reach.

Using a range of evidence-based and time-honored methodologies, I work with people who are ready to stop managing their pain and start actually moving through it. My work supports you in breaking out of automatic reaction patterns, releasing what your body has been holding, and building a life that reflects who you actually are, not who your wounds taught you to be.

My work is aimed at one thing: helping you see the patterns that have been running your life beneath your awareness, so you can finally choose something different. I measure my success by one thing only: your life satisfaction after our work together, compared to before.

Some expanded states modalities have demonstrated remarkable results with treatment-resistant depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety. They are also known to reconnect us with something deeper: a sense of meaning, presence, and wholeness that many of us have never felt, or have long forgotten.

My work is built around integration: the sustained process that turns a powerful experience into an actual change in how you live. A powerful experience is not the same thing as a changed life. What matters is what you understand, what you practice, and what you change afterward.

One-on-one work is offered at a set program rate. A limited number of supported-rate spaces are available each season. Details are discussed in your initial conversation.
