The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and all the lights that you can imagine in the entire external world are but fragments of that one great Light that is within you. It is the Light of knowledge, the Light of discrimination, the Light of understanding, the Light of life, the Light of sharing and love, the Light of Being that you are. Swami Rama |

ABOUT MICHAEL
We all come into our mortal existences to learn lessons and to assist in the evolution of our souls and our species. With each birth, we are given the opportunity to learn from the mistakes and successes of our past lives. For most of us, this occurs on a very unconscious level. There are those among us that are here to continue their learning as well as to help bring forth information to assist with the evolution of our species and to assist in healing the planet. Our planet and its inhabitants are at a critical point in their journey, much healing is required and many healers are required to assist in the process. It is my goal to assist you in achieving your divine purpose for incarnating, to enable you to be of service to others and to live a peaceful existence. As part of that goal, I am here to help bring forth the Light needed for healing you and the planet. This Light, or Reiki, has the ability to transform lives and free us from the dis-ease that prevents us from reaching our fullest potential. From as early in my life as I can remember, I have dreamt of being a healer and knew it was my destiny. Aided with the power of Reiki, my spiritual practice and my focused intention, that dream is now being realized. I see how everything in my life has led me to this point and now I feel a responsibility to assist others on their journey.

WHY I DO THIS WORK Some of our deepest wounds are sexual. Often these wounds are so deep or so old that we don't even know Please understand that in doing this Sacred healing work, I'm healing some of my deepest wounds in the process. It's been said that our earliest wounds determine our life's work. This is certainly the case for me. I was born in a small, racist town in Alabama and raised in the Baptist church. I spent much of my childhood praying for my desire to masturbate to cease because the church told me it was wrong. In later years when I recognized my attraction to men, the church was there again to tell me I was going to hell because God couldn't love me for that. As an adult who has expanded his spiritual views and is following a spiritual path, I have come to recognize that those teachings, while well intentioned, were very harmful to my psyche. God (the Universe, Spirit, Allah, Buddah, Love, Light, Creator, Goddess ... whatever name you call it by) is simply an energy and not an old gray haired man sitting in the clouds and passing judgment. The energy is unconditional Love. In short, God IS Love. All religions agree on this. How then can anything but love be associated with that entity? It is my desire to help those I work with learn to love everything about themselves and to allow pleasure (the feeling of Love entering the body) to come to them in many forms ... unconditionally. Some men wonder if this experience makes them bi or gay. The answer is no. It doesn't make you anything. Straight, bi and gay are simply labels. They limit us by their very nature. As humans we judge and label things in an attempt to understand them. Pleasure has no gender, it simply is. So ultimately we are either open to pleasure or we aren't. When we can simply "BE" and accept pleasure in whatever form the Universe offers it to us, that's when we are truly living. We are truly accepting life at its fullest. That's what I hope this experience helps you to do, open and accept pleasure without judgments.
MY JOURNEY In 1999, I took a trip to India with a friend to see one of India's most revered Avatars, Sri Sathya Sai Baba. To prepare for the trip, my friend gave me a video called "Aura of Divinity". It was a documentary on Sai Baba created by PBS in 1979. It is so powerful that I transcribed it and am including it on my site. Click here to read it. By simply being in his presence, he activated something within me that had long been dormant. When he looked at me, I believe he called forth my inner healer and forever changed my life. Shortly after returning, I left my job and a 16-year career in data processing to travel the world and "find myself." In early 2000, I began a five-month travel experience. While I was in Australia I took a course called "The Melchizedek Method". This training was about learning to activate my Lightbody and using the "Hologram of Love Merkaba". According to "The Keys of Enoch", the Merkaba is an interdimensional counter-clockwise rotational vehicle of Light, Spirit and Body. While that sounds pretty out-there, the basis of the training is activating the Merkaba for healing work based upon it being composed of unconditional love. In essence, it creates a space where healing can occur at all levels. In January of 2001 I decided to deepen my yoga practice and become an Integral Yoga instructor. The instructor training was a month long intensive held at a remote retreat in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. During this training, I injured my back. One of the other students gave me a Reiki treatment and I was actually able to feel the energy flowing into me. This was unusual for me since I was skeptical about energy work at the time. I knew from that moment that I had to learn how to channel this energy as well. Shortly after returning from the Yoga training, I received my Level I attunement from a Seattle Reiki Master, Barbara McDaniel. This allowed so many amazing experiences to enter my life and confirmed for me that I was indeed on the right path. I knew almost immediately that I was destined to become a Reiki Master because it would allow me to bring two passions in my life together...healing and teaching. A year later I received my Level II attunement from Barbara. In October of 2004, I reached my goal and was attuned to the Master Level by a wonderful woman from Oregon named Mary Grace. In August of 2007, I took the next step on my Reiki path and was attuned as a Karuna Reiki Master. Also as a result of the Yoga training, I was guided to begin a course of study with the Self-Realization Fellowship founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. The teachings are an ancient yogic system known as Kriya Yoga. This three and a half year course teaches meditation techniques and a system for right living. This course has deepened my understanding of life, living and the afterlife. In 2002 I began working as a personal assistant/office manager/chiropractic assistant to a Seattle based chiropractor specializing in energy medicine. By being both a patient and a student of this man, I learned a great deal about how the body works both physically and energetically. Through my work with him I was able to clear a food allergy that I had to corn and wheat. I learned that allergic reactions are just symptoms of deeper issues and not permanent conditions that we must endure forever. Just like our bodies can manifest these problems (any dis-ease), they can also release the cause and move back into a state of wholeness, peace and balance…but it takes work and time. These issues don’t just start over-night and they can’t be “cured” in a day. In July of 2003, I began a Vision Quest under the guidance of a local Ojibwa Shaman called SilverWolf. A Vision Quest is a Shamanic initiation ceremony. While the actual ceremony lasted only one week, the Vision continues to unfold for four years afterwards. In this ceremony I learned that I sit upon many paths and that I am supposed to bring parts from each path together to develop the healing work that I incarnated to do. The work I'm currently doing is a manifestation of the teachings from all the paths. The Native Americans teach that we all carry "medicine". When we follow these teachings and learn about our medicines, we can then use them to heal ourselves and others. These medicines are shared when we do healing work together. If I carry medicine that your spirit needs, when we spend time with each other, you can be healed by that medicine...and I by yours. It's like taking aspirin. It stops the headache but you don't become aspirin.
In October 2005 I began my erotic bodywork practice out of the small second bedroom of our apartment. After trying to find an erotic therapist that met my needs and desires and being constantly disappointed, I began to notice that my experience wasn’t unique. In scanning through personal ads on Craigslist I noticed a large number of “straight identified” guys who were seeking safe, erotic touch from another man. I saw ads for guys wanting to explore assplay from someone who knew how to help them. I knew there was a need that wasn’t being met and in taking a long hard look at myself and my skill set, I felt that I had to be the answer that I sought. Once I realized that there was enough interest in my work for me to build a practice on, I threw myself into it fully. I took my existing social skills, service experience, sexual skills, massage and energy training and then found a space to work in. I certainly had no idea how much it was going to change my life. Over the years I’ve moved to bigger and better spaces because my needs have grown along with my practice. I’ve also been adding new areas of study and additional energy techniques to my work to be able to accommodate the needs of my clients as well as to make me a better practitioner. I’m always looking for new ways to grow personally and professionally while still staying true to my desire to be of service to those I work with. In March of 2006, I began studying "left-handed" Tantra with Jay Craver. This branch of Tantra teaches us that "everything is an experiment". To heal some of our deepest wounds, we must observe everything that happens with the context of our experiment. This experiment could be as broad as one's life but in the case of my work, it is confined to a single session. Another Tantric teaching is that "Deep pleasure brings deep healing." That is a principle which I have been living my whole life and is the base of the work I do in each session. My current studio is located on the entire ground floor of the house I’m living in so things have come full circle. The difference is that now I have several rooms to work in depending upon the need, a full bath/shower and plenty of work space for the bodywork and not I'm not cramped into just one tiny room. Since I only need to walk downstairs to be at work I’m able to be more flexible in my scheduling. I’m blessed to have such an amazing client base and am always excited to begin working with new clients. Doing this work has really changed me over the years. It has helped me to look at the fears, judgments and shame that I had been holding onto about my own sexuality and spirituality. I know that I am a much better person because of the work and I’m certain that translates into me being a better practitioner…and that starts the cycle all over again. I’m often humbled by the transformations that I see in those I work with and the stories I hear. I know that I’m not “fixing” anyone but I am opening and holding space to allow healing to occur and working with each client to help them move into that space so that they can do the healing themselves. It is an amazing and subtle process and I am honored to be able to be a part of it. This work fulfills, excites and delights me because it is so dynamic and fills such a need to help others on a personal level. I’m thrilled to be able to offer a safe space for men to come to learn, explore and grow by simply learning the art of receiving. All my life I've been clairsentient but never understood it until I began doing healing work. This gift means that I can psychically sense what is needed for healing and use my intuition to guide me in bringing that forth. I rely on that guidance, assistance from my spirit guides and from the guides that surround my clients to create each session specifically for each client. I also rely on my intuition to help me determine who I should and should not work with. Love will always show us the way. ============================== Physically, I'm a 5'-9", 155 pound, Caucasian, with blue eyes and shaved-off dishwater blonde hair. I have a slender build, soft skin and a very sensuous touch. I enjoy hiking and the outdoors so I'm healthy and fit. I am HIV Negative. Click here to see my latest test results.

they exist. They shape our lives, control our emotions and cloud our judgment. People often think that wounds only come from bad experiences. The experience is simply the experience; neither good nor bad. The experience could be a hurtful statement from an adult figure when we're young, fear of a vengeful unloving God as taught by a religion or a child's misunderstanding of an ordinary experience. The wound is what we take away from the experience. The wound could be as simple as a belief that "sex is bad", your sexual behavior is "wrong" or that masturbation is "sinful". Some wounds are, of course, from obvious traumatic emotional experiences. Sexual wounds require sexual healing. This is what I'm offering ... sexual healing in a safe environment.
