Michael attended his first breathwork session in 2005 and was blown away by the power of the breath.  It was such a life-changing experience for him that it changed his career direction and he decided to focus his life around breathwork in support of world healing.  Michael has a unique way of combining his science background with his breathwork training and experience that allows him to create a safe space for participants to open their hearts and have transformative life-changing experiences.

Michael has a BS from the College of Chemistry at UC Berkeley and has also studied neuroscience.  He started by facilitating Holotropic Breathwork Workshops in 2009 for thousands of people in the Los Angeles Area.  Then, in 2018, he birthed Neurodynamic Breathwork (NDB) in order to achieve his vision of allowing anybody in the world that wants to experience the benefits of expanded states of awareness to be able to do so from the comfort of their own home.  He offers a free online NDB session to everyone at breathworkonline.com.  In the last 2-1/2 years, he has facilitated close to four hundred online sessions of NDB with participants from over 110 countries and has been instrumental in creating a thriving worldwide breathing community in support of personal and global transformation and healing. 

He also co-facilitates a course called “Train Your Brain” which combines neuroscience and breathwork in a powerful weekend experience that allows participants to create a deeper container for their breathwork experiences and teaches them how to be the “CEO” of their own mind so they can navigate their reality more effectively and powerfully.
