“Mike brings an open heart and earnest curiosity to our academic discussions. His wealth of knowledge and practical experience brings depth and applicability. I’m proud to call him a colleague and look forward to see where his endeavors will take him.”

“My tuning fork session with Mike was a truly wonderful experience that left me feeling calm and centered. His focus and expertise in utilizing the forks to create soothing tones and vibration really set his service apart from other sound healings I’ve experienced in the past, the benefits of which lasted several hours if not days. I would highly recommend a sound healing or tuning fork session with Mike. It’s such a beautiful modality to include in a multi-disciplinary wellness journey and he is a master of the craft. You will not be disappointed.”

“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Mike for a few years now. He carries a rare blend of compassion, kindness, and authenticity that makes him a remarkable therapist and shamanic practitioner.

What stands out most is his ability to ask thought-provoking questions that bring deep insight into challenges. He has a unique way of holding space, where you feel seen, understood, and supported in a profoundly meaningful way. His willingness to help, support, and act as a mirror for others’ growth is valuable, and it comes from a place of genuine care and humility.

Mike is deeply in touch with himself and his practices, always seeking growth and healing not only for himself but for the people around him. His connection to story and the way he weaves it into his work is inspiring and adds a rich layer of depth to everything he does.

I truly admire Mike’s dedication to his path and the positive impact he creates in the lives of those fortunate enough to work with him.”

“It has been such a pleasure to know Mikey, travel with him in Peru and watch from the sidelines (I live in Spain) as he faces the obstacles that life has thrown at him. He has learned to surround himself with loved ones that truly care about him, mentor his creativity and strengthen his integrity. Now he is “playing it forward” and providing the same care and knowledge to you that was given to him. You are so lucky to be able to work with him and become part of his network of loved ones.”

“I have had the privilege of knowing Mikey for nearly a decade, witnessing his unwavering dedication to his healing journey and his genuine vulnerability. Mikey has traveled to Peru several times to work with me, fully engaging in ceremonies and embracing the depths of his own transformation. His authenticity shines through in every word he speaks, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encounters.

His extensive background as a psychotherapist is an incredible asset in his role as a shamanic practitioner, giving him the grounding and insight needed to guide others through their own healing. Mikey is also one of the most generous souls I know—constantly giving his time, knowledge, and resources to those around him. His giving spirit is sincere and comes from a place of deep compassion.

Above all, Mikey’s resilience is truly remarkable. He embodies the spirit of healing, blending wisdom and kindness as he walks his sacred path with honor and integrity.”

“I had the privilege of working closely with Mike in a doctoral spiritual coaching course, where his commitment to learning and growth is both inspiring and unwavering. His background as a seasoned psychotherapist shamanic practitioner, and athlete give him a rare, comprehensive perspective on healing. Mike brings an authentic, vulnerable nature to his work, along with a keen intuitive insight that gently guides him on his path.

What truly sets Mike apart is his persistent curiosity as a lifelong student and his dedication to deepening his intuitive abilities, always seeking to serve others in the most meaningful way possible. He actively engages in every lecture and discussion, going beyond what is required with a genuine desire to connect and support those around him. His compassionate drive to build meaningful relationships with both clients and colleagues speaks to his calling as a healer and his commitment to the journey of transformation. Mike’s work through Warrior Child Healing is a true testament to his passion for guiding others toward wholeness.”

“I recently had the opportunity to experience a medicine session with Mike and it was truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely safe and supported. Mike created an environment that allowed me to explore and release pain from my past.The integration from the journey was profound; I felt forgiveness for myself and others, and was able to let go of resentments while accepting limitations in myself and others. This experience has had a lasting positive impact on my life, and I’m so grateful for the compassionate care I received. I highly recommend Mike’s medicine sessions to anyone looking for healing and growth.”

I believe that there is list of things one should look for when deciding to work with a therapist / coach, energetic practitioner, or spiritual advisor:

— one who actually walks the walk
— one who listens intently
— one who knows how to appropriately and actively engage another person
— one who has enough life experience to understand a variety of dynamics involved in many different situations
— one who has a clear calling to help others
— one with has both general and emotional intelligence
— one who has a curious and open mind
— one who has put in a lot of time and energy into his/her own spiritual / mental / physical health journey
— one who has a strong sense of honor and integrity

Based on my own history with Mike, I can assure you that he embodies all of these qualities. With Mike as your guide, you can look forward to insightful questions, gentle nudges without judgement, emphasis on being seen holistically, and a focus on how we can be the hero of our own stories when we deeply understand the psychological themes that are at play in our lives.

I would jump at the chance to recommend Mike for assistance with any type of mental or spiritual journey.

Simply put, Mike is exceptional, and I am so grateful that our paths crossed in Costa Rica years ago.

“I have spent a lifetime on the “healing hamster wheel” and frankly not every healing experience has been positive, because not every practitioner is in it for the right reasons. As a result it has been a dance of 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. This has been both frustrating and expensive.

What really sets Mike apart is his empathy and service. He is a healer first and foremost. He Is in it for the right reasons. And not only are his intentions pure, he has a medicine bag of healing experiences and skills from his own journey, skills from his constant and relentless continuing education, and skills from working with countless clients over the years.

The secret to life is balance. What Mike brings is a whole brain approach to healing. He has extensive experience with indigenous teachings and intuition found in the right brain, while his specialty areas in transpersonal psychology and narrative therapy appeal to the needs of the left brain. When both aspects of our dual nature are addressed, we reach a place of balance where our own inner divinity can finally shine through.

If you are looking for a deeper inward journey with an experience practitioner then I fully recommend Mike. I turn to him with my own questions and searches for insight. His spirit is a part of the emerging new earth energy, a return to Eden in our lifetimes starting from within.”

“I have professionally known Micheal for over 7 years and have had the pleasure of working with him and have remained in contact with Michael for his positive influence. He has a reputation as an exceptional Mental Health professional, standing out from other clinicians due to his sincere passion for helping others. Michael is both respected and admired by both his colleagues and clients, has a reputation for being a leader and a well-seasoned therapist whom I would seek out for professional advice and consultation. Michael is a kind, respectful, goodwill, and an inspiring individual, with an ability to connect with and inspire people to put forth their best effort which is truly admirable.”
