I can't thank you enough for the coaching assistance in helping me find the road to find myself as a wife who has lost her husband.

I now know I can be a strong, independent woman. Thank you, Michael Seery.

I have had several sessions with Michael, as well as completing his “Confidence Course.” He's always a positive influence and the course was inspirational.

Beyond his grandpa wisdom is an extensive ability in coaching and dedication to his craft, which he is obviously passionate about.

I've sought his services to help me with my “blind spots,” which he always finds and coaches with skill and compassion. Whether it's sport or life, I highly recommend Michael Seery.

I can't thank Michael enough for the incredible support and guidance I've received! From our very first session, it was clear he was truly dedicated to helping me reach my goals. I knew then he was the right fit.

Michael took the time to understand my challenges and aspirations, creating a tailored approach that has made all the difference.

Each session is filled with positivity and motivation, and I always leave feeling empowered and inspired.

I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life!

Michael resonated with me from the start. The one thing about working with him was how he communicated. When we first met, we just had a connection, and I knew I could open up completely. I really looked forward to deep diving with Michael.

I felt stuck in that one place spinning my wheels. Then, after our first session, the movement from there was amazing. I'm motivated. I feel excited about doing the work now. I've got that passion back—it's amazing.

If anyone is thinking of seeing Michael, don’t sit on the fence. Jump off and go see him now. Michael’s value is bar none. Working with him is outstanding. Your life will change forever.

I recently attended the Journaling Through Grief workshop hosted by Michael, and I’m so grateful I did. Even with just a few of us, the connection ran deep. The prompts were thoughtful and gently guided us into our own grief stories, allowing space for emotion and reflection.

One exercise stood out: we wrote down the words we most needed to hear—the ones we wish someone, or a specific person, could say to us. I wrote what I would have wanted my husband to say… and that moment of writing brought up so much emotion and release.

If you're carrying grief and seeking a supportive, non‑judgmental space to explore it through writing, I truly recommend this workshop. Healing doesn't require a crowd—just space to show up honestly and someone to hold it with care.

I just want to say thank you because I think that was an awesome session. You brought up stuff that I didn't expect to come up. Yeah, it gave me the opportunity to express it. Every time I think I've dealt with all these areas, they seem to come up again. So thank you for bringing it up for me to be able to acknowledge that it's still there and I still have a lot of work to do.

So I'm incredibly grateful for that. It was an amazing session. The feeling of when the change happened of just everything swirling and moving around was very powerful and I really feel like something has done a major shift. I still feel floaty though, so that's probably going to last a little while. That was definitely an awesome session. So thank you. I highly recommend you to everybody.
