Dr Michael has years in psychology, enabling others to achieve health & performance goals; treating: stress, depression, arthritis, cancer, autoimmune diseases, grief, anger, addiction and changing behaviour. Inquire if he can help you.

Health Benefits:- Relaxation, destressing, heal (especially autoimmune diseases which can assist healing of many forms of arthritis and cancer) and sleep deeper. Learn how to identify and define your special purpose in life. Learn how to balance your body, emotions mind and spirit. If you were never taught directly ‘how to think’ the therapy can be pivotal and transformational.

Therapy can transform your thinking, emotions, attitudes, health, learning, behaviour (replace bad habits with good habits) enable you to creatively innovation, constructively solve problems, improve relationship, enable and empower your life skills, performance and success in private, family, sporting and professional life. Ultimately, it can enable you to seek and attain wisdom. In one session you can be taught how to treat yourself to purse and achieve your priorities consistent with the above, but you must practice as taught, or receive therapy regularly, as I can’t achieve all the above in one session . Please refer to benefit section below.


Conditions:- Conditions that can be treated, concern behavioural change, but may fall into two groups:-

Health Related:-
To heal from: tension, stress, depression, fear, regret, insomnia, diseases with significant autoimmune components, i.e., forms of arthritis, cancer, etc., and to change behaviour, i.e., from addiction/s, in relationships, driving habits, etc.

Performance Related:- To raise performance skills for family, sports, relationships, professional life, etc. Identifying and defining your purpose in life, seeking wisdom, developing and transforming your:- thinking, learning, attitudes, behaviour, developing life skills in: self esteem, self confidence, problem solving, innovation, issue resolution, etc., with a view to raising your: health, performance, happiness, success and prosperity in life. Life is all too short so make the best of your health, happiness, success and prosperity.

Individual and Corporate Development:- Organisations face increasing: pace, challenges, complexity, change, tax, competition, uncertainty, legislation, risks, litigation and adverse environments. It is called “the Quickening”. One approach for an enterprise to be sustainable and prosperous in these circumstances is to strive toward eupsychian cultures conducive to high performances supportive of talented and passionate people integrating and applying appropriate management and technologies.
Performance Measurement and Performance Management don’t of themselves raise performance. Organisations need Performance Enablement to Raise Performance. MetaMind provides Psychological Performance Training of individuals and groups to enable individual and groups to not just survive in, but thrive from the quickening. For organisations it is a top down process to transform individual and group thinking, learning, behaviour, innovation, problem solving and culture by providing intellectual and group thinking attitudes and skills conducive to high performance, success and prosperity.

My Experience and Motivation:- I was first diagnosed with and treated for arthritis in my youth. After twenties years of increasing types of arthritis, difficulty and discomfort, sometimes unable to walk a single step, suffered excruciating pain, I discovered the potential power and therapeutic technique to successful treat myself. It took me many months, but I have now been in remission and better than 99.9% pain free and mobile since 1993. I was so impressed that I then studied for a doctorate in psychology. I would like to share knowledge and treatment with you so that you too may benefit in many ways, including:- many forms of autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, cancer; also stress, depression, grief, guilt, anger, insomnia, behaviour change, obsessions, addiction, general health, performance and life skills. The therapy is complimentary to most other treatments. N.B. desired outcomes depend upon your condition, situation, commitment and active participation.
Life is all too short so make the best of your health, happiness, success and prosperity.

◄8► Massage:
Massage therapy (Swedish, Ka Huna or Lomi Lomi, Deep Tissue, Remedial and Integrative) is applied moist using natural massage oil, or by arrangement, with cocoa (chocolate). Cocoa is high in serotonin, minerals, vitamins, MUFA and antioxidants and absorbs toxins, it is therefore, considered both a beauty and a health treatment. Serotonin contributes to the production of ‘happy endorphins’ and aids relaxation and a sense of ecstasy. These advantages are enhanced by the benefits of massage therapy and the aroma of cocoa. Exfoliation is also available if booked.
