Michael’s work is brilliant and gets to the cause of the problem(s) because it is an outgrowth of him. Michael is brilliant, deep, compassionate, empathic, …. I have been active in holistic health for more than 45 years and I can sincerely say Michael is one of my all time favorites. After a serious bike accident, with three severely fractured lumbar vertebrae, I sought Michael’s help and he came through. I confidently recommend him.
