Insight Based Coaching

It only took 1 introductory call with Michael before I knew I had finally found someone who could support the existential crises I was going through due to several life-altering health issues in my late 20s. “Let's focus on where you want to go, not where you’ve been.” This approach that Michael takes in his coaching was a refreshing turn from traditional therapy, and ultimately helped me get out of my own way so that I could witness the miraculous recovery of my health. By focusing on what feels good, rather than the traumas of the past, I found myself leaving each discussion with Michael energized and inspired to continue my journey.His coaching style valued that I already had all the wisdom I needed, and it was just a matter of directing my attention toward the fundamental truths of my human experience to unlock the miraculous. Together we built a foundation that changed my relationship with the cycle of life and subsequent emotions, minimizing the “lows”, maximizing the “highs

I have found Micheal's work with me to be invaluable in discovering (or rather uncovering) elements within my business which I had been struggling with for months and without his help I would likely be in the same unhappy situation today. Micheal has a real talent for very quickly drawing out the solutions I was so desperate for and has fundamentally changed my view of coaching

I only worked with Michael for a fairly short amount of time, however during that time what I found so helpful was Michael’s ability to draw out from me the wisdom that I hadn’t been able to see by myself. I kept wondering off and getting lost in in my thinking but Micheal consistently pointed me in the direction of truth, with a nice dose of humour, lightheartedness and compassion. I highly recommend Michael as a coach, I feel like I have a much more solid grounding in my ability to navigate life now.

Michael is a gifted coach who really helped me discover and realize my potential. After an initial discovery session with Michael, I knew he is the coach I want to work with to help me guide and mentor for my ICF coaching credential. He helped me understand the coaching competencies in detail through practical examples, and provided detailed feedback on my coaching. I feel more confident and skilled after working with Michael. I highly recommend Michael!

Mike I want to take a few min to thank-you for being an amazing coach !! When I first met you as my coach in the CrossFit world I knew in five min of meeting you that i found a top notch Trainer ! Which I did , and I was more surprised at how well you can read people and sometimes my thoughts which I never liked to admit you were right lol . Now you are my life coach and I knew you would excel in that as well ! You are very personable and have an ability to connect with your clients . You are very professional and as for myself who has a hard time talking about my personal feelings I found it surprisingly easy ! Your coaching has made me gain clarity and made it possible to make great changes ! I would have never known the benefits of our sessions and I want to say thank-you from the bottom of my heart !!

My coaching session with Michael was one of the best I have experienced. Michael was not only able to stay with me throughout the full array of my thought processes, he nudged me ever-so-gently into what can only be described as deeply insightful realizations which truly propelled me back to the core of my own inner balance, groundedness, and inspiration. Thank you, Michael, for helping me to see what was in plain sight all along. I can’t speak highly enough of his skill as a coach and professional guide.

Discovering Michael was a true gift and working with him to unleash my full potential has been invaluable. In just 6 sessions, over 3 months, I was finally able to access what was always within me, transforming the visions and dreams I’d held for years into reality.From our first discovery call, I immediately connected with Michael’s energy and I felt a sense of ease and safety in opening up about myself. I found Michael’s calm, welcoming nature to be well balanced with humour and approachability and that gave me confidence that working with him would challenge me yet feel fun and effortless.As the client, I set the pace and intention for our conversations, while Michael guided my thoughts into new territories. Suddenly I was smashing limiting beliefs and uncovering the strength and confidence to support my highest self. I felt immediate results in every session which led me to take new actions and in turn quickly added up to measurable results.I came to Michael after years of being “stuck” in career indecision, as well as inability even to begin writing a book I’d longed to write for nearly 20 years. I am so grateful and happy to say that within our 6 sessions, I developed new values which ultimately changed my reality. My reality has changed in many ways but most notable is that I have transitioned into a career that a few short months ago was only a dream. For years I was baffled as to how I would ever get to where I am today. While my book is not yet written, today I have taken great steps towards the end goal and I consider it a “dream in motion” .Michael’s demeanour along with his keen intuition for effective, supportive guidance made it a pleasure to work with him but also served to be an example of what I hope to embody in my personal and professional life.

Michael has a beautiful way of inviting you to look inside yourself so that you find more than you expected. He has a gentle, loving quality that ensures you feel safe to explore even your biggest challenges.Every conversation I've had with him has led to valuable insights - both personally and professionally. He dedicates himself to his craft and the person in front of him, and it shows.Whether you want to get unstuck, change your life, or bring a dream into reality, Michael will help you do that with skill and love. You owe yourself a conversation with him.

Highly recommended! I worked with Michael for a three month period, and with his support easily surpassed the ambitious goals I set at the beginning.For years, as a reiki practitioner, I had people tell me I was “gentle”. I never knew quite what that feedback meant until I worked with Michael and got a feel for being on the receiving end!Gentle means that he helped me to achieve all my stated goals- in fewer sessions than expected- without any huge bumps in the road. His calm presence and focused listening were a vehicle of grace. There was no NEED for hurt, upheaval, suffering... just an easy meander to where I wanted to be- because, after all, it was hardly any distance from where I started.Thank you. You made it seem effortless.
