Wonderful Changes in Health, Relationship, and Career

It's now been a year and a half since I started coaching and constellation work with you, Michael.  Your counseling has given me the tools and the confidence to transform my life considerably in a short period of time.  A couple of one on one constellations, several workshops, and weekly sessions with you in between have helped me create the following remarkable changes. 

Various health issues--all related to chronic abdominal pain and problems with eating either normal food or the restrictive diets doctors put me on--have all but disappeared.  Since these had gone on for nearly a decade with no remedy, this still surprises me even now.  Then, I finally got the clarity and courage to make a much needed relationship change.  Seeing and really feeling how what was not working in the relationship related to my birth family and it's history was a big part of this. In a way, it's like my stomach was expressing all this unhappiness and need to change.

I have transitioned from being unemployed with no clear direction for a fulfilling future career to realizing my potential and passion for a new calling.  I graduated from Massage Therapy School and I am now happily employed.  I am passionate about the new career that I have begun as a massage therapist. All three of these issues were interwoven and were major contributions to my feelings of dissatisfaction, and lack of passion and direction in my life.  When you say you work to create WholeFamily and WholeSelf--you really mean it!

Doctor Gains from WholeSelf, WholeFamily Healing

Working with you helped me to become aware of a missing piece of the puzzle to my next level of "wholeness" in a specific area related to family dynamics.  I have been on quest for peace and wholeness for almost as long as I've been on the planet.  My journey has lead to an educational background that includes general medical training along with a specialty in eye surgery, neuroscience, including cognitive psychology and a smorgasbord of "self-help" teachings. 

I've come to realize that the journey to wholeness is best when approached in an integrated fashion.  When your deep respect for the "left-brain and the right-brain," "logic and intuition," the literal and metaphor, the physical/science and the spiritual/energy were applied, Michael--my healing was accelerated and sustainable. 

Your processes are just this — a wealth of wisdom that allowed aspects of my mind, body and spirit to come to the surface in a conscious way to be healed and integrated as a whole, healthy unit.  Your work clearly helps people to get "unstuck" and you do it with compassion and utmost dedication. I highly recommend you!

Amazing Changes from Constellation Work

Let me make this simple and to the point.... before I met you and plunged whole-heartedly into "constellation" work, I had been struggling with several issues in my life. For many years I had tried many different approaches to healing these issues and yet, they were still present, maybe not as devastating or even daily in my life anymore, but still present. Triggered reactions from something said or done by loved ones, friends, and co-workers would bring forth an emotional reaction within myself.

I had tried so many times to heal these issues and yet still here they were. Until I found you! Insecurities, Childhood trauma's, Dysfunctional Relationships and even Digestive Issues I had struggled with for years.....GONE. Another side effect from this work was a deeper sense of calm and peace within myself and much more clarity in multiple areas of my life. I would recommend constellation work to anyone, in fact I brought my mother to one of your workshops. What else can I say? Thank you for facilitating such great work!

Constellations Helped my Entire Family

Working with you has uncovered elements and events within my life and the life of my family that I never even knew existed. Uncovering these events or blind spots and their effects in my life and the life of my family through constellation work has been awe-inspiring to me.  Your understanding, professionalism, experience, caring, gentleness and openness supported me in giving myself permission to visit the unknown, its meaning, and the effects it has on my life and the life of those around me.

Through this work, I have been able to restore a more “normal” role as a daughter to my parents, rather than a parent to my parents. I have been able to unload many burdens that did not belong to me and, in addition, my parents were able to do the same.

As a result of this work, my parents also became more responsible for their lives and were able to begin addressing issues and challenges that had been left untouched for over 20 years. This work works and I cannot think of a better person to deliver this work than you.

Chronic Disease Relieved

The constellation work that I did with you was the most profound work I have ever done concerning a situation surrounding my family. I have spent years and much money in various kinds of treatments and therapy for endometriosis and cysts in my abdomen. Constellation work did what all those long years of therapy and medical treatment didn’t. I can now look upon my family and situation in a compassionate and objective manner, and am no longer troubled by either feelings of rejection or the abdominal problems. Thank you, Michael.

Improved Relationships to Living Family Members

My main spiritual practices can be boiled down to the pursuit of “being in the present moment.  Family Constellation work has become an important adjunct to these practices, revealing hidden family loyalties which were so innate to my psyche as to be invisible, but having large and deleterious effects on major life events and decisions. Constellations, along with your coaching, brought to light and shifted key underlying familial patterns, freeing a larger part of what I can only consider my soul. A much greater part of “me” is able to really be in the present moment instead of acting out unaccepted life events of my ancestors.

Although I did not expect it as an outcome of my constellation work with you, there have also been positive shifts in relationships with living loved ones, for which I am very grateful. Your style during constellations is to very clearly hold a safe and sacred space for all of the participants—including the ancestors. When appropriate, you seem to know just when to nudge the situation in the most helpful way to restore the flow of love and life in the family soul. Perhaps just as importantly, you have the ability to sense when it is time to let things rest.

Healed Loyalties and Shifted Perspective

I have done a ton of personal growth work over the last 20 years. But none of it seemed to prepare me adequately for my experience of a dark night of the soul during 2009! Thank spirit you introduced me to family constellation work in September.

Your knowledge, patience, insight, and compassion guided me in healing the loyalties I had been holding on to towards my ancestors around scarcity and abandonment. You exercised superb coaching skills during my individual and group family constellation sessions. The followup telephone coaching sessions you did with me proved to be one of the most important hours of my week.

Michael, your ability to shift my perspective to gratitude, compassion, and accountability for igniting my own change process was invaluable! I attribute my new positive perception largely to the exercises you suggested I carry out between sessions. You truly integrate both wisdom and experience into a coaching practice that produces results! Gratitude to you, Michael!

No Longer Inexplicably Held Back

Your family constellation coaching opened me up in a way I could not have imagined. I recommend what you offer to those looking to make positive changes in their life—especially when they find that something is inexplicably holding them back.

Reconnected to Ancestors in Love

Your family constellation workshops and coaching were a profound process. They helped show me the interconnectedness we all have. I came bound to my family of origin through dysfunction and left connected to my ancestors through love and understanding. You are a really clear facilitator, coming from the heart, which helped me go safely into the depths of what I came for.

Confidence Restored for Better Relationships

For two years I have been working to establish a new educational program. Success in this project requires me to engage with others in ways that were previously far outside my comfort zone. Michael offered two mechanisms for moving forward: family constellations and personal coaching. I was impressed with Michael’s intelligence and diverse background, so I decided to give them both a try. Each has provided me with important tools that have allowed me to make dramatic shifts in how I view myself and the world around me. I feel significantly more confident in my ability to be conscious of the dynamics in my personal and professional relationships, and at the same time I find myself knowing more when to trust my intuitions. I recommend Michael to anyone who wishes to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
