From My Clients

"I've been blessed to receive coaching sessions with Michael Skoyles for the past three years. Michael has an innate sense of warmth and compassion that immediately puts me at ease. I feel safe and respected in his presence. He has extraordinary listening skills and a special ability to identify and mirror for me my root triggers at each session. Michael is a true coach, who listens and supports me in finding my own path forward, rather than giving me advice. I highly recommend Michael’s coaching sessions. I feel overall so much freer and happier since I’ve been working with him."

When Michael coaches me, I feel that I am guided by an old friend who is non-judgemental, caring and wise. He showed me that even old and deep wounds can be approached with compassionate safety and that healing and transformation are possible. I am deeply grateful to Michael for opening a door I didn’t even know existed."

"Since 2022, I’ve met regularly with Michael Skoyles on Zoom. His skillful coaching helps me to face fears and perceived limitations. Michael’s steady, compassionate presence and probing curiosity create space to examine limiting beliefs, difficult emotions, and bodily sensations. Our work centers on staying grounded in authentic presence while unwinding maladaptive conditioning, emotional repression, and old wounds. I can trace current stress to somatically stored memories and resolve it at the root. I feel younger, more confident, and far less reactive. My need for approval has eased, and my family relationships are closer. I recommend Michael without reservation."

"In my experience with Internal Family Systems as a client, I came to realize that it is possible to recognize and come face to face with parts inside me that are always here, yet are invisible to my usual perception. All throughout this process of making the invisible first visible, then more familiar, and lately befriending it, Michael has been a wise, patient, and warmhearted guide. I recommend him to anyone wanting to discover oneself as a fuller and more complete, more perceptive human being, who is also better attuned to the world around. By working with Michael, I learned that both my individual compass and teacher are inside. My regular life experiences are becoming more rich and meaningful, and I am grateful to realize more often what a wonderful thing it is to be alive. Thank you Michael, for this exciting journey!"
