“I consider myself an artist in the medium of healing. The experience we co-create together is not optical. Your canvas, brushes and paint become the spiritual realms. The unfolding cannot be articulated with the thinking mind.
We ask permission of the 6 directions and pair scent, sound and the breath to embrace the frequencies of unconditional love while holding space with the intention to bear witness to any process that sees fit to unfold.
As the mind calms and the spirit takes over, the intention set by the higher self is ultimately fulfilled. This work is between you and you. It is by no means me that heals you or anyone else.
The human body has the innate ability to heal from within and I merely act as a mirror, reflecting only that which is true in each and every one of us, which is loving awareness and the ever expanding light of the divine.
We co-create an artistic healing experience together. It can be tons of fun and is considered by me, to be the missing link in Western therapeutic processes.
In my first experience with the work of clairaudient healer, author and artist, David Elliott, through this simple practice, I felt congestion, sorrow and pain leave my body.
With almost no effort at all, the breath helped me release guilt, shame and judgment that I’d carried for years. I was finally connected to the enormous well of truth and gentleness within.
The breath helped me to realize that I wasn’t broken, I was whole.”
“This work is not about the doing. It is about the undoing.”
“When the time is right for you…I have your back!”
Private sessions facilitated by Michael are focused on the individual’s specific needs. The foundation of the work is that most forms of addiction, disease, trauma, illness and pain are energetic and are symptoms of un-addressed issues that are often, through this practice, easily cleared.

More from Michael about the work…
There are many who have grown accustomed to fatigue and stress as a result of poor diet, emotional strife or a sedentary lifestyle. Too often we simply grow to accept this malaise or diminished vitality as natural and part of what it is to be living. For most of us breathing is nothing more than a reflex, and we fail to see how the length and depth of our inhalations and exhalations affect our health and state of mind. When we experience fear or anger we often hold our breath, limiting oxygen flow throughout our respiratory system, therefore restricting the support of our creative energy and well-being.
Intentional breath work increases vibration and energy flow in the body to such an amplified state, the prana or chi (“universal life force”) is accelerated throughout our meridian systems — clearing congestion, stagnant anxiety and past trauma.
The community agrees that a single session brings about a deep release both physically and emotionally, and that conscious breathing facilitates a profound sensation of wholeness. Individuals express tangible transformation in their bodies and express indescribable feelings of contentment and serenity.
One of the world’s most highly respected healers, David Elliott describes the work this way: “The moment you unblock, you feel it. The fear you’ve had trapped inside releases. Emotions unravel. You’re brought into the present moment and can finally stop living in the time you originally experienced your fears. It’s the beginning of your empowerment.”
I am honored and humbled to introduce this ground breaking work to the community.
Sessions are available for individuals, couples and families, as are workshops for groups fostering team building as well as a greater sense of trust and absolute connection.
