Michael is a way-shower, awakener, and spiritual teacher. He is a passionate student of life and of spiritual teachings and experience from a variety of sources – Buddhism, Christianity, Shamanism, contemporary metaphysical / metahuman philosophies and natural healing.

Michael teaches how to increase your awareness and assist you to clear negativity and attachments so that you can step out of conditioning or reaction programs to become the creator and master of your reality through empowered choice.

His life story is rich with experiences beyond what most people would endure in one lifetime. It’s the kind of stuff that books and movies are made of! Michael doesn’t view any of the challenging experiences from his past as misfortunes. Rather, they are blessings that were necessary to prepare him to guide others through any life challenges they may be facing, with a deep level of connection, understanding and compassion.

Candice is a health coach who works primarily with professionals and entrepreneurs to achieve optimal health, so they can function better in all areas of their lives. She teaches practical, sustainable strategies for wellness that don’t overwhelm, but rather integrate comfortably into everyday life.

Candice used to work in the demanding and stressful environments of advertising and corporate, where putting her health at the bottom of the list left her feeling exhausted and run down. It eventually took its toll, affecting her productivity, stress levels and her ability to focus and cope under pressure. But when she changed what she was putting in her body and introduced some powerful lifestyle strategies, it changed the way she showed up and performed at work. She was healthier, more efficient and more empowered than ever before.

She has a successful private practice and a qualification in nutrition and wellness from the International Academy of Natural Health and Wellness.

Do more, be more and get more out of life.

“There are two ways to live your life. One is through chasing butterflies – reacting, trying, hoping and stressing. The other way is to build a garden that attracts butterflies. Are you working on your net or on your garden?”
