My Creative Self Testimonials
"I feel an enormous gratitude for My Creative Self therapy with Michael. It is where miracles happen. One of the miracles I often think about is how I can find all resources I need in the seeming nothingness—they are already present within me, I just need to listen to myself and reconnect to the energy flow, which constantly runs through my being. But this is often stifled by daily routine, life’s chores and depression. A month before I started My Creative Self therapy with Michael, I was prescribed antidepressants that only aggravated my condition—I could not feel any connection to myself at all. And to my relief, being so broken and sensitive, I found myself in Michael’s caring hands—warm, gentle and kind. I cannot fully describe or logically explain those processes that were especially healing. I can only say that I have not felt this good in a very long time. My Creative Self therapy is very much like a “soul spa,” out of which one emerges refreshed, renewed, self-accepting, and able to give as well as receive love from the world."

"I’m always surprised by the depth and scope of the inner work that takes place in Michael’s My Creative Self therapy sessions. Michael uses various approaches and techniques, and always finds a precise way of being with my innermost inquiry. But it’s not his methods that I value so much. What I value is that Michael is fully and authentically present with me in my process, whatever it may be. With Michael I can be angry, loving, totally lost, afraid, without a clue, dance shamanic dances, do something strange, something I could never do anywhere else, play games, daydream for real, die and be born again. And what is very healing for me is that he can fully and honestly be with me right where I am at this very moment.
With Michael, I was working on my self-realization, on my uncertainty about where and in which direction I want to go with my life. Our work allowed me to discover a totally unfamiliar outlook, beyond my old ideas and preconceptions. Even now, I am still living the changes that happened as a result of our work—they still unfurl, bloom and gradually find their way into my life."
Danielle, psychotherapist, somatic therapist

"I never thought that this was possible. And I cannot describe it. Because Michael is more than wisdom, empathy and intuition. Michael is the eyes that can see right into you, the heart that sincerely loves you, and the energy that takes away all that stays between you and your Life. I don’t know HOW he does it. I only know that I want to continue working with him. It is a different depth of self-exploration and self-trust. It is a world of limitless possibilities. Thank you, Michael for being who you are."
