“Since I finished The Healing Mindset course [the first time], I have worked my way through it over and over again. I try to engage with positive content every day, and I find all aspects of the Healing Mindset helpful. I would definitely recommend the course to others.”
HEY, I'M MICHAEL
I am a writer, a wellness coach, and the creator of The Lovely Grind YouTube channel and blog. I'm someone who has learned how to overcome anxiety and stress struggles, and I'm also someone who has conquered that great "mystery illness" of the 21st century - prescription drug withdrawal. After initially being prescribed Paxil and Xanax in college, I took those medications for more than a dozen years, finally deciding in my thirties to quit them in order to better my health picture. What happened next was a real shock to me: I began to suffer from a cluster of strange symptoms that I would later come to know as SSRI withdrawal and benzodiazepine withdrawal.
After tapering and then stopping these medications, I was hit by physical illness and many bizzare mental and emotional symptoms. At times things seemed extremely frightening, confusing, and beyond hope (and doctors were no help to me). However, I found a way forward. I found healing and better wellness and learned a lot, and I eventually began talking about my story and then coaching others through their own withdrawal & healing journeys.
I've now worked one-on-one with people from all over the world (read testimonials here), and The Healing Mindset course takes all that I've learned from my own experiences and those of the people I've worked with, and it presents it to you in a easy-to-use format that will guide you, reassure you, encourage you, and help you to find your own healing and growth.
I'm so glad that you found my website, and I can't wait to have you join me in The Healing Mindset. I believe that this course is truly the most powerful and useful resource I've created to date, and I know that you'll find it extremely valuable. Let's get started today!

“Michael was the only person I could reach out to who had been through what I’m going through and totally understands how difficult it is. His delightful, calm, and encouraging manner was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed the wealth of information that Michael was able to share. He gave me valuable pointers to help me on my way."”
Erikka, South Dakota
“Michael has a caring heart, and I learned a lot from him. At first I was so confused by withdrawal (wondering what I was going through and if I would be this way permanently), but Michael helped me to realize that we do heal and that things do get better."
Salem, United Arab Emirates
"Michael’s voice has always been a reasonable and reassuring one. He has tremendous insight about the inner workings of succeeding in this. Withdrawing from medication is one of the hardest things we can do, and mindset is the most important thing in this endeavor. Michael’s work provides valuable ideas about that side of the process."
Shelly, Ohio
“Michael helped me in a way that no doctor or therapist has been able to! His personal experience combined with his optimistic, constructive input and guidance is priceless. I highly recommend him to anyone going through withdrawal.”
Diane, Colorado
“I’d tried many different avenues throughout this experience—my doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist—but most were disappointing. I felt very alone in this process … and I decided to reach out to Michael after reading one of his articles online, which really resonated with me. Michael normalizes the experience. His approach is one that is less “alarming.” He focuses on simple, easy truths, and I would absolutely recommend him to others.”
Mark, North Carolina
“I found Michael’s videos to be very helpful and encouraging. He is very laid back, patient, and personable, and I appreciate the fact that he has gone through the same withdrawal and has wisdom to guide others in finding their own healing."
Kelly, Sicily
“Michael has great advice, and genuine warmth and care. He is a natural healer and a true inspiration to anyone going through this withdrawal process. After seeing his videos, I finally felt there was a light at the end of the tunnel—I could feel that radiating from him."
James, Missouri
“Because of … Michael, I am more confident in my decisions and my long-term view on the [withdrawal and healing] process. He has been though withdrawal and spoken with people going through it, and that makes him a [unique] source of wisdom and experience. Michael’s positive attitude and outlook are comforting, and I would absolutely recommend him to others who are going through this process.”
Jackie, Idaho
“Michael helped to push away the darkness and fear. His were the first positive messages I found regarding withdrawal, and they really spoke to me at a time when I needed it most. I now know I will find healing, and I don’t need to be afraid.”
