I help people live deeply and meaningfully by offering accessible, love-inspired spiritual and grief care that is theologically thoughtful, psychologically grounded, and personally transformative.
Meet Michael
With over 30 years of experience offering spiritual care and support to individuals and groups, I’ve often been described as a thoughtful mystic, an accidental activist, and someone who leads with intuitive empathy. My deepest passion is helping people connect with the God-who-is-love in ways that are healthy, thoughtful, and life-giving—guiding them toward experiences of love that are personally transformative.I hold a Master of Ministry in Spiritual Formation (2011) and a Master of Arts in Theology and Culture (2024), both from St. Stephen’s University in New Brunswick, Canada. My studies have focused on spiritual development, the honest work of spiritual deconstruction, and shaping love-inspired narratives that resonate with everyday life—especially in a post-Christian, quantum-informed world. In addition, I am a certified Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute, bringing compassionate, evidence-based support to those navigating profound loss and transition.
