He's extremely patient, takes the time to really listen, and is thoughtful in how he responds to your needs rather than rushing the process. I came into therapy knowing I had a lot of healing to do, and Michael met me exactly where I was. His calm presence and genuine care made it easier to open up and work through things at my own pace. Each session felt intentional, supportive, and grounding. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, respects your journey, and supports real healing, I highly recommend Michael.

I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

She not only made it easy to open up about the mess that I'd made of my life, but neither did she shy away from helping me take responsibility for my own errors. Always gently encouraged me to find my own solutions. I have suggested her to every friend, or family member, who I knew was having trouble finding their way forward. She seems to always have just the right touch to nudge people in a direction that, as she says, they knew was the right way to go... but needed an impartial, caring person to help them discover what their hearts were already wise to. Seriously ~ after trying more therapists than I care to admit, I can recommend others to run, not walk, to Julie! Let her help you as she did me.. to take back control of my life. As she's said to me, no one else can control our destinies but ourselves. If we don't surrender our decisions & responsibilities to others, we'll never have to feel like we're spinning out of control again. That's a priceless gift we can learn to give ourselves. Thanks again Julie!

From the very start, Flora provided excellent assessments of what my needs were and tailored her approach to my specific requirements. The intake process was great, as she paid close attention not only to my physical condition, but most of all mental, and spiritual well-being. During the sessions, she paid close attention to my form during exercises and also took the time to explain the importance and difference of each movement in yoga and its function. Then suggested appropriate modifications. She also provided a wonderful introduction to the philosophy of yoga, which was very insightful. She always followed up with detailed notes and suggestions to help me improve my practice even further. Flora even suggested tools to help me with my physical condition (carpal tunnel) which was incredibly thoughtful. What I appreciated most about Flora was her great knowledge and kindness. She has a wealth of resources and was always available to answer my questions or address any concerns. She created a custom meditation practice for me to use as part of the bedtime ritual, which has been incredibly helpful. Flora is an excellent and kind guide practitioner. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and dive into yoga practice with even more increased awareness. Thank you, Flora.
