"I was initially skeptical about meditation, but working with Michael Hess has been a game-changer. When I started, I could barely focus for 5 minutes. Three months later, I'm comfortably meditating for 15 minutes daily. The progress has been remarkable.

What sets Michael apart is his ability to make meditation accessible. He doesn't just give vague instructions; he provides practical tips and insights that resonate. Michael has a way of explaining concepts that make sense, even to a beginner like me.

I appreciate Michael's patient and grounded approach. He never made me feel inadequate or "not spiritual enough." Instead, he met me where I was and guided me forward comfortably.

Michael's coaching has helped me establish a consistent meditation practice I look forward to daily. It's become a valuable part of my routine, providing a moment of calm in my busy life.

If you're considering meditation or looking to deepen your practice, I highly recommend working with Michael. His approach is practical, insightful, and effective. He's helped me transform meditation from a daunting task into an enjoyable and beneficial habit."

"The experience of working with Michael Hess teaching the Seven Steps of meditation was a profoundly great blessing. His method of guiding was clear and calming although we had a challenge of translation into German language.  Nevertheless Michael was easily to accommodate to our various needs."

"I was a student of the Discovering Mind class Meditation Training in late 2020 to early 2021. The class instructor, Michael Hess, was a very patient and extremely knowledgeable instructor.  I had enrolled in the class, in the hopes of broadening my meditation knowledge and practice, especially as I am always seeking to learn more in this practice. The classes were paced appropriately, and the content was very interesting and Michael as an instructor was quite adept at maintaining the pupils’ engagement and interest in the materials covered. I highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to be come a meditation teacher or a student of meditation wishing to deepen their understanding and knowledge."

"I attended Michael’s 100-hour Meditation Teacher Training in 2019-2020. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable both in terms of explaining the content of the course, but also in practice. He is more than willing to spend as much time with each student as needed to ensure the course material is understood."

"Our staff was new to meditation and found his techniques very effective for the type of work we do within the community.  Michael has a wealth of knowledge and helped us understand the big picture of the techniques we were using.  Thank you Michael!!"
