Find your happiness and learn to put it first. Own your uniqueness and be yourself.
Joy is out there!
Embracing your sexuality and unique identity in positive and empowering ways!
Shame and embarrassment often hold us back from being the most authentic versions of ourselves. The LGBTQ+ community has been widely persecuted, stereotyped and judged to the point of feeling like perpetual outsiders. Our sexuality is unique to begin with, but when we include other aspects of it, such as kinks and fetishes, people can often find themselves feeling repressed and lost in the shadows. This is particularly troublesome when these are deeply rooted interests that enlighten us about our own sexual identities. They genuinely help us know ourselves better!
No one should be made to feel like an outsider because they have a certain fetish for a certain thing. The only people that would judge such things are generally ashamed to admit that they have the same exact interests but society has made them feel unable to express them.
I have a passion for empathetically helping others better understand, embrace and then become empowered to explore the many aspects of their personal sexuality safely and with genuine self-confidence and compassion for themselves. This is a beautiful journey of self-love and among the bravest in which we will participate. In doing so, we shine a light on our dark corners!
Invest in your relationship with yourself
As men in the LGBTQ+ community, we are oftentimes raised in a world that doesn’t seem aligned with us, or vice versa. My passion is to help LGBTQ+ men create the happiest, most joyful life experience imaginable and to gain empowerment and confidence that will carry them through the rest of their lives! Loving ourselves and embracing our individuality down to our most unique interests is the best way to achieve this ultimate freedom!
Improve your relationship with others
Be your best self, alone and with others, and cultivate deep and lasting friendships and relationships. When we are in love with ALL of who we are, even those parts that we’ve felt some shame about in the past, we become truly powerful human beings and our relationships with others improves alongside this personal empowerment. Getting US right first helps us immensely to improve our relationships with others!

“Michael is a coach who listens to the needs of his clients and then creates a realistic action plan that helps keep us on track. Michael uses his own life experience as a gay man to help guide along the way and he is not afraid to identify the root cause of a problem with an action plan to get to the goal. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who is feeling stuck in life and wants to make real change in a positive direction.””
-J.S.
“At 60, I’ve been ignoring myself for many years, occupying my time with work, other people’s needs and projects to the point I had chosen no time for myself to grow and explore what my needs were. I tried counseling but found it very clinical and it never let me be 100% honest. For the first time in many years, I feel good about my life. I have a lot to own up to and so much growth ahead, but I don’t think I’d be where I am today feeling good about my choices If I hadn’t spent time with Michael and his efforts as a coach.”
-Dan S.
“I highly recommend Michael as a coach. In our work together, he helped to identify tangible ways of setting goals, meeting them and having realistic expectations for the progress I would make. His techniques made things concrete and allowed me to use my strengths to the best of their ability to make the work feel both fun and challenging. Michael is always patient and encouraging through the process and is willing to be innovative to help people achieve their goals.”
