    Why Michael does WHAT HE DOES

    As a therapist for his entire career, Michael finds tremendous joy in helping people overcome circumstances and change their lives. Throughout his extensive therapy career and after serving thousands of clients, he always wanted something more than the traditional therapy models offered. Both in terms of decreased length of time to get results and much more than just variable success. He was determined to create impactful, sustainable results in less time for his clients.

    Michael created and developed The Cortina Method for healing.  This produced real and sustainable transformations for people. After working with thousands of people, Michael has proven case studies and hard data in the form of brain mapping that demonstrate the effectiveness he has created for trauma and PTSD survivors with The Cortina Method.

    With the tremendous success of this model, Michael plans to bring this to the masses and show people how to overcome trauma, PTSD, and other life challenges using non-traditional practices.

    TESTIMONIALS & ENDORSEMENTS

    Michael is top notch as both a trainer and a clinician! I absolutely love watching him work both through videos and live demonstrations. His commitment and passion to serve and to provide the very best outcomes possible comes through in his very presence. I have experienced training with Michael for multiple years and multiple times per year and cannot even begin to express the value this has had for me, for my practice and for my “guests,” (I so appreciate thinking of the individuals I work with as guests,) Training with Michael is truly a life-changing experience that has challenged and enabled me both personally and professionally to become a better version of myself, The Cortina Method is a framework put together within which there are endless opportunities to creatively apply it in ways that effectively and efficiently resolve traumatic memories and limiting beliefs freeing the individual to find joy in living. Critical to Michael’s success is the understanding that trauma is individually defined and the suspension of judgement that creates a safe place which allows individuals to acknowledge and move beyond self-defeating learning patterns of thoughts and behaviors. The Cortina Method is truly taking my practice to a whole new level and the possibilities are endless. Michael challenges us (as well as himself) to reach beyond our comfort zone and individualize our practice to fully utilize our own unique resources, I am deeply grateful for Michael’s dedication to continue learning, researching, updating, teaching and practicing a model of healing that is truly inspired yet rooted in science, I believe the Cortina Method is absolutely making the world a better place and am honored to be a part of the healing that is happening one person at a time.
