Mike, we just want to thank you for all that you have been doing with our son. We noticed changes within him right away and we continue to see how your work has positively influenced him. He now has increased confidence in himself, he works harder at achieving his goals and he is now handling challenges and disappointments in a more mature and productive manner. We are grateful to you. More...

Christine, thank you for the opportunity! Helping him see what's possible and showing him how to explore his potential has been my pleasure!

I started this journey with a lot of skepticism. I used to believe that I didn't need help to get better and that coaching would never work. That all changed after I embarked on this journey with The Whole Person Project.

I came to understand that many of my needs were unmet, and my challenges resulted from me trying to look for someone or something to fulfill them. I gained clarity on all the issues I was facing. Whether it was family, friends, work, or even working out issues, I learned what was holding me back.

This was not an easy process, mainly because I needed to get used to prioritizing self-awareness ahead of the default action I was used to taking. It took a lot of time and work, but everything came together once I was taught how to see things more clearly. I was able to mend my relationships with everyone, and now I can unapologetically be myself.

I am now a changed person. I used to hate life, but now I'm thriving. I am so appreciative of this program, and I hope everyone who is having a difficult time finds their clarity. More...

Thank you Justin!

My experience working with Michael has been amazing. I’ve known him for a while but never really knew what he did for a living. He said he was a MindBodySpirit Coach. Now I had never heard of a MindBodySpirit coach but the more he explained the more interested I became in exploring other aspects of my own life. I was generally happy and okay with my life but had always been looking for a little more. I was looking for some aim and purpose. I’ve read some self help books but found them to be very “cookie cutter” in design. Michael’s approach is very unique, like nothing I’d ever read in those books. Using his learned knowledge and personal experiences he helped me identify the root causes of the behaviors I wanted to change. The change wouldn’t be genuine or sustainable without knowing the reason for my current behavior. With his guidance, meditation and introspection I was able to identify things that I was unaware were even affecting my every day life. I’ve come to know a new appreciation and respect for myself. I find purpose and joy in most everything I do. I didn’t know there was a more peaceful and purposeful way of living before I started working with Michael. For those of you who have a specific need in mind or are just looking for a better quality of life emotionally, physically and spiritually, I believe Michael is the perfect one to help you reach your goals.
Michael, I can’t thank you enough. You have been instrumental in improving all aspects of my life. More...

Thank you Chris!

I've been working with Mike for six months. He is helping me to understand and outgrow limiting beliefs, stories I tell myself, and protective behaviors. With an open mind, hard work, and patience, this is liberating stuff.

I've seen therapists on and off for years. Mike's spiritual and cosmological approach is entirely different and one-of-a-kind. I've found comfort in the guiding idea and premise that there is something much bigger than ourselves out there: our infinite goodness, significance, and freedom, which has no limits or boundaries.

Mike is the real deal. He is thoughtful, authentic, passionate, dedicated to his clients, and only wants to see them thrive and be free. I highly recommend working with Mike. More...

Thank you Alice!

Michael is such an incredible coach who has helped me transform my life into one that I’m excited and happy to live! When I began my private coaching journey with Michael, I was extremely depressed, anxious, and quite frankly feeling hopeless. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a toddler and have spent years trying different medications, therapies and eventually self medicating with substances.

Slowly but surely, Michael was able to help me see everything in a different perspective; showing me that I am capable of taking control of my life, emotions, reactions, etc. His approach is so much different from your average counselor or therapist because he focuses on the root cause of your suffering. He helps you understand how and why you came to be the way you are, with compassion and patience. This makes such a difference, because you are actually becoming closer with your authentic self through the process, which allows for self compassion and understanding.

With all the tools Michael has helped me gain, I am living a happier and more purposeful life today. He’s helped me learn how to meditate effectively, which helps me remain present and aware of how I’m responding to myself and others. I can’t possibly speak highly enough about Michael; you owe it to yourself to set up a call with him, today! More...

I am so grateful to have met Michael and to have benefitted from his coaching. My very first conversation with Michael was life-changing and the beginning of a personal journey and spiritual awakening. Michael Rizk is a wise and gifted mind-body-spirit coach with an exceptional ability to ask the most thought-provoking questions. Thanks to his patience with me, his dedication to helping others, and his professional non-judgemental nature, I have awakened to a new way of seeing which has led to a new way of being. Thank you, Michael! More...

My family was in crisis.
And I really wanted to be more emotionally resilient within this storm of drama.
I tried to help; but I kept getting overwhelmed myself.
It was so frustrating not having better tools for myself nor for them.

Luckily I found Michael Rizk’s program.
The Whole Person Project has been a wonderful journey.
The teachings and techniques have really brought me peace as well as clarity.
I highly recommend considering his logical and gentle approach to developing effective life long skills. More...

What makes a life coach unique and stand above the rest ? Everyone brings their own unique talents to their craft, but Michael expresses an empathy and compassion that is uncommon. His approach is that we are all in this together, your trials and struggles are being faced by all the people around you. Through his studies, personal life experiences and ability to get to the "root of your pain", he helps you see things that may have been hidden to you before and helps identify behaviors, beliefs and actions that hold us all back from enjoying our lives. He provides a different perspective and skill set to help modify the way you view yourself and your place in the world. Change is hard and it is a slow process but he makes you realize that the goodness and love is already there inside of you. You just need to let it flow. More...

I gave a rating of 5 out of 5 for Michael Rizk and the work I did with him for a few reasons. Number 1 on the list must be how authentic Michael is and how easily you can tell that he is not in this for him, and he deeply cares about his clients. Simply stated he lives his truth. I am truly grateful for the insights and guidance he has given me to allow myself to look at life through a different lens. A lens that allows for my authenticity and the ability to freely express myself shine through. My relationship with my family has improved, as well as my ability to work and help guide my own clients. He challenges you in a way that allows for experiential learning so that you can take those lessons and apply them for a lifetime. I am truly grateful I chose to work with Michael. More...

Thank you Drew!

I connected with Michael through a friend that’s also a GIFT fellow. I reached out to him initially because I felt too emotionally invested in my job as a PT and didn’t know how to separate myself from how well my patients were healing. Michael helped me see where a lot of my thought processes developed from and how they were also influencing other areas of my life. It was very enlightening to see how I am the driver of my own life and how my past has shaped who I am today. He taught me to have compassion for myself and embrace my strengths. Also, along the way I made some great friendships that I’m forever grateful for. It’s comforting to know there are people in my life who can see me with the same amount of compassion and support that I have learned myself. I know I can always connect with Michael anytime I need to. I’m very thankful for the skills he taught me, and I will always try to integrate them into my life. More...

Thank you Jackie!

I started working with Mike around the time I was leaving damaging marriage. The work with Mike really helped me see my own worth and value and helped me see that I was living my life to please other people and getting my worth from this. As a recovering people pleaser and someone that now sees my own worth and value, I am able to set boundaries and live a fulfilling life where I can serve others from a place of abundance instead of a place of scarcity. I have recommended others to work with Mike and they have loved the experience as well. I am grateful for how Mike helped me to view myself and life from a different lens. More...

I met Michael about 8 years ago about a year after my 2nd weight loss surgery. I was looking for someone to help me with my body but little did I know, Michael’s MindBodySpirit approach would transform my life. His unique inside-out approach allowed me to see how the painful experiences of my past created beliefs which drove my emotions, behaviors and ultimately led to all the struggles I was facing, not just my weight ones.

Michael is a wonderful coach with a warm, gentle manner and a true gift for listening to what you say, extracting out the truth (reality) from the story (false narrative) behind it and guiding you to develop a new perspective through which to see it through. He has created a safe, supportive and trusting environment where I always feel comfortable sharing. I would not be where I am today without his guidance.

If you are tired of taking the same old approach to the same old problems and getting to the same old results, it’s time for a new approach. Coaching with Michael Rizk is the new approach and I encourage you to give him a try. More...

Thank you Kim!

You are asking the wrong questions.

If you are anything like me, you may find yourself asking:

What is it that I need to do?
What am I missing?
Why don't I do what I know I should do?
Why am I stuck?

Do these questions sound familiar?

These are all great questions, but my work with Michael has helped me realize that they are not the real question that will lead to true understanding. Michael is an extremely detail-oriented and insightful man who has an uncanny way of helping others see the many facets of their life that have led to their current existence. Much like one would not build a house by starting with the roof first, Michael helps you get to the foundation and build from the bottom up. Of course, this means tearing down the old walls first, and when you see those first few rays of light bursting through the old facade, I promise you, you will feel warmth and freedom.

Michael is a kind and compassionate man who genuinely cares about you. His authenticity shines through in everything that he does.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. More...

Thank you Louis!

I began to live a more contemplative and mindful life, and soon realized I needed a coach to help guide me through the questions and blocks I was running into. I had been following Michael’s blog and his insights into living a full life, as a whole person, spoke to me. Michael is very kind and easy to talk to, he is an exceptionally good listener and asks direct and challenging questions. He is always able to get at the heart of the problem and provides insights and tools to work through old and new challenges. His coaching helped me to become aware of my false self, which cleared the clutter for my true self to surface in a short span of time. Michael is a knowledgeable Coach and will be very helpful if you are just starting your journey or are well on your way to living a better life. More...

Thank you Patti!

I have a daughter with autism and was having a really hard time dealing with that reality and was in a very dark place.

I was drawn to Michael from his way of seeing the world....everything was from a place of peace, which I so much needed! In talking with Michael and participating in the Whole Person Project, I learned how to see the world (and my circumstances) from a different lens which involved digging into how my past experiences shaped my present outlook. There was a lot of self-awareness and self-acceptance, and it's really helped me to get out of that dark place and see the light in every day.

Michael has a very special gift of explaining everything so clearly and how to apply it in every day life. He really does help you heal mind, body, and soul.

For those considering participating in the Whole Person Project, I would strongly recommend you jump in with an open mind. You won't regret it. More...
