Stephanie Bliss
Michael brings a world full of positivity, fun and possibility in his coaching work. He helps to bring awareness to that which is not serving one and shift to opening to the greater flow of the universe. He has helped me tremendously to always see possibility, to watch, even in the smallest of ways, that the world we want and dream about can be manifested, moment by moment. He is a master manifester! He patiently and compassionately guides his clients in finding their inner power to create and live out their dreams, moment by moment, step by step. After working with Michael for the past few years I can proudly say I will be heading to Penukonda, Indía later this month to my spiritual gurus ashram. Something I never thought possible, especially during these challenging times. I attribute much of my recent personal growth in realizing my manifestation power to this incredible soul who continuously sees the divinity within all he serves. Thank you! Peace & Blessings!

Yes, on Zoom or FaceTime for Apple users. If a client prefers a different platform, I would be happy to meet there as well.

Staying remote or meeting outside in nature by the water on my sailboat all with masks and distancing when warranted.
Present Centered Awareness (PCA)
PCA provides an opportunity for the client to settle into this "now" moment. It is akin to meditation as it requires quieting the mind and body to focus on what is happening internally and externally. In the silence, one can become a witness to thoughts, feelings, sights and even smells that may provide a pathway to new awarenesses. It allows all of your senses to hone in on whatever or wherever you would like to shift and/or elevate.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is not, hypnotizing. It is similar to "Present Centered Awareness" but with the aid of a therapist or facilitator. Hypnotherapy addresses the subconscious or unconscious that can transform mindsets, physical ailments, inhibiting beliefs or whatever might need to be reprogrammed for renewal.
Prayer
Everyone has some idea of what prayer is. It is a conduit to the Spiritual Realm. Most people pray for some-thing or some-one. Prayer has been researched and documented to "work" with unexplainable results and therefore is provided to patients in hospitals as well as places of worship and healing. In the context of coaching, if the client is willing or requests it, praying can be useful as a tool to "let go" of control and let Divine Energy to its thing!
Astrology
The legitimacy of astrology is questioned by many because it has no scientific backing. That may be because no one has bothered to research it. I studied astrology in the 80's during college. I was fascinated by the accuracy of the many aspects from which one could gain insight into a variety of areas and domains of life. It is considered to be "Ancient Knowledge" and/or "Ancient Wisdom" of those who have studied and observed human behavior. There are 360 degrees from which to read a chart that looks like a clock, "the clock of destiny" some call it. I refer to an ephemeris (a reference book of the daily movement of the planets, down to the minutes) to help me understand the proclivities of human behavior when there is a question that can't be answered by the client or myself.
