Testimonials and Rave Reviews
"My work with Michael is opening up possibilities for a whole new way of being. I feel empowered to make choices from a place of calm, of feeling loved and connected, rather than bullying and shaming myself. I'm learning how to cultivate an environment where I can recognize a familiar but long-silenced sound – my own voice, my internal "guidance system". I now celebrate myself through acceptance."
– Ann Braden, Yoga Teacher
Los Angeles, California
"My two daughters and I have known Michael for 14 years. Michael has watched our family go through the best and the worst of times that life can bring, and he has never been afraid to ask the hard questions that no one else would have asked. I find myself thinking and pondering about our conversations for days, months, and years. I am so proud to say I have been touched by Michael's life. His is the kind of love that goes on forever."
– Judy Neill Carpenter, President and CEO of Neill Aircraft
"Having Michael in my life has been a true blessing. He has an ability to connect with people on a visceral level and guide you into your full potential. His desire to understand others without judgment or aspersions allows for a connection unlike many others in my life, and he has been invaluable to me as a personal guide. He is a true human cipher, helping to translate behaviors and beliefs into clear purpose and meaning. Allowing Michael into your life is the equivalent of giving your own faith back to yourself."
– Elizabeth Gordon, Principal, Elizabeth Gordon Studio, Architecture & Design
Los Angeles, California
"Michael cuts to the heart of who you are, reveals your beauty from the inside out, and holds you accountable. You can call it therapy, hairapy, or plain miracle making... I am blessed to have him in my life."
– Brenda Strong, Desperate Housewives ("Mary Alice Young")
"I met Michael over ten years ago, and he instantly made me feel comfortable in my own skin. I could be who I am without fear of judgment. It was immediate. Ten years later, I feel just as comfortable seeing him. Michael has walked through his own valley of shadow and helped me walk through mine. To this day, I always feel better after I spend time with him."
– Jane Monreal, KABC, Eyewitness News
"Michael creates a sense of safety on the deepest level. He embodies the closest thing to unconditional love that I believe is possible in another human being. My sense of self and self-esteem have begun to heal from the inside, and my soul is getting the nourishment it needs. I am rediscovering my voice and am able to practice its expression. I am building a foundation in faith of living a satisfying and fulfilling life. Michael is a light in this universe."
– Claire Dunlap, Theatrical Producer
Los Angeles, California
"I struggled with disease, divorce, abuse, and worse for 25 years. With the help of Michael's coaching, I feel like I have finally found my way for the first time in my life. With Michael's support, I changed in appearance, I gained greater clarity around my expectations, and I learned how to set my own boundaries. Michael never once told me how to make my way or find my happiness. He never presented a solution to me. He supported me in finding my own way, making my own happiness, and accepting what it is that makes me happy. I now welcome what this life has in store for me."
– Janet Lynn Kordich, Owner and Operator of The Impressionist
Redondo Beach, California
"Michael is so refreshing in that he has no ego as a facilitator. I can feel his open heart welcoming me into his world the moment I walk into the room. He openly invites contributions from all, knowing that their experiences and knowledge are valid and vital to the process. He has a special way about him that allows him to lead without dominating or intimidating anyone. Working with Michael allows the individual to experience the true meaning of partnership."
– Al Valencour, CEO Off Field Coaching Inc.
Prescott Valley, Arizona
"I appreciate how Michael can easily bring me right to my heart to make monumental shifts in the way I see the world, and the way I be in the world. I have learned to operate from a place of love, which has truly changed my relationships, my choices, and what I am attracting into my life. He is deeply intuitive, and somehow "sees" at a level that laser focuses on issues that bring about positive shift and change. Michael was born to do this work."
– L. H., Certified Life Coach
Littleton, Colorado

"I look forward to when I see Michael. It seems I've always had a different issue to address, and he has helped me see clearly with each individual situation. One time I needed help in dealing with my teenager and Michael showed me how to see my situation with such clarity! As soon as I got home that day our mother-daughter relationship improved in such a profound way; it has never been the same."
– Gretchen Harris, Award Winning Recording Artist, and mother of three

He is my role model and hero!"
– Connie Dones, EDS: Field Services Team Manager, and mother of two

"Michael's group work with the women at our shelter was one of the highlights of 2007, both for our clients as well as our agency. Michael's phenomenal energy transformed our clients' self-doubt into confidence, hope, and possibility. His skills enabled our women to feel a sense of self-confidence they had not felt in a long time. Our clients are grateful to us for bringing Michael into their lives, as we are grateful to Michael for sharing his talents with us. It is a rare privilege to work with an individual like Michael."
– Eliza Karagezian, Volunteer Coordinator, YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter

"Michael established a strong and authentic connection with the youth at our center in a relatively short period of time. It was apparent that he was trusted and revered by the participants in the group. Michael's coaching had a particularly positive effect on the self-esteem and motivation of those youth. I would entrust Michael with any group, as I am confident that his exceptional ability and genuine dedication will make a positive impact upon any community with which he chooses to work."
– Simon Costello, Program Manager, Jeff Griffith Youth Center
Los Angeles, California
"Michael began his weekly coaching meetings with the women at Friendly House in early 2008. All of the women here share a deep admiration for Michael. His impact upon them is powerful, because he has experienced such transformations in his own life. He can relate. He coaches these hopefuls in starting anew, and helps them to be the best that they can be. Even after just one month of group coaching, we see a marked difference in our women. Friendly House has been truly blessed to have Michael and all that comes with him."
– Iriet Schulman, Program Director, Friendly House Castle Heights
Culver City, California
"At our LGBT residential rehab facility, we work predominantly with gay people living with HIV/AIDS, meth addiction, and alcoholism. Our residents are skeptical, easily bored, and very resistant to group counseling. Despite this, they take great pains to ensure that they won't miss a session with Michael. It's the only group they won't miss. Because so many of my clients have deep trauma issues, I am careful about who I put in front of them. Michael is able to reach into my clients and address their most guarded issues in such a loving way that their fear of exploring those issues just dissolves."
– Bryan Wilmoth, Program Director, Frank's House/Rainbow Bridge Community Services
Los Angeles, California
"The women residents at the Friendly House adore Michael! His work helps them find forgiveness and love for themselves after the shame and destruction of drug and alcohol addiction have taken their toll. Michael's personal recovery allows him to authentically connect with the ladies and gain their trust. With his coaching, they rediscover their dignity and learn to see their experiences as tools for building happy, purposeful lives. Michael's dedication, open-hearted approach, and unconditional love have been a blessing to the Friendly House. Michael's sessions always leave the women with uplifted spirits, and I can attest that it's a lasting change."
– Peggy A., Executive Director, Friendly House
Los Angeles, California
