Rise
Close the gap between who you are
and who you’re capable of being.
A 6-session, one-on-one coaching program for people who are ready to show up more fully for themselves and for the people they love.
You’re giving everything to everyone else.
Maybe you're exhausted and stretched thin - giving everything to your kids, your partner, your job, your parents - and somewhere along the way you stopped showing up for yourself.
Or maybe things are actually fine. But fine isn't what you came here for. You can feel there's another level, and you're done waiting to find it.
Either way, you feel the gap between who you are right now and who you know you're capable of being. Between the life you're living and the one that's possible for you.
You just haven’t had the space, the structure, or the support to do something about it.
Until now.
Introducing Rise
Rise is a 6-session, one-on-one coaching program built around one core belief: the most generous, loving thing you can do for the people who matter most to you is to start with yourself.
Now. Not someday.
Over six sessions, we work across the three areas of life that determine how you show up for everything else:
ENERGY
How you take care of yourself — physically and mentally. Sleep, nutrition, movement, breath, and the daily habits that either fuel you or drain you.
WORK
How purposeful, focused, and engaged you feel in what you do every day. Doing work that matters, with clarity and intention.
LOVE
The quality of your most important relationships (including yourself). Being genuinely present for the people who matter most. Not just physically there and going through the motions.
Six sessions. Two arcs. One transformation.
Each session is 50 minutes, live with Michael. You’ll receive a personal Rise workbook — yours to keep — and support between sessions when needed to make sure momentum doesn’t fade when life gets busy.
The Program is Built in Two Intentional Arcs
Arc 1 · Sessions 1–3
Discover and Ground
Who are you, where are you, and what do you most want?
Session 1
Start with Yourself
An honest look at where you are across Energy, Work, and Love. We find your starting point and begin to sketch the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Session 2
Being & Becoming
Who are you at your best? We excavate your real goal, the purpose beneath it, and what becomes possible when you land it. Your SMART goal is set and emotionally alive.
Session 3
The Craft of Connection
Surface what’s really been in the way — the patterns, beliefs, and fears that have quietly been running the show. Arc 1 closes with you feeling seen, challenged, and ready.
Arc 2 · Sessions 4–6
Build and Launch
How do you get there — and how do you sustain it?
Session 4
The Toolbox
Practical tools that actually work in real daily life. Antifragility. Win · Learn · Optimize as a life practice. Your personal top 5. Arc 2 opens with traction.
Session 5
Structure + Spontaneity
Design your Masterpiece Day. Build your 90-day goals. Create the daily and weekly architecture that makes your goal inevitable rather than aspirational.
Session 6
Ripples
We close the full circle — celebrate what’s shifted, measure the gap you’ve closed, and launch you forward with a clear 30-day commitment with momentum & a next steps vision.
Everything you need to close the gap.
Six 50-minute live coaching sessions with Michael — by video or phone

A SMART Goal + OPUS Map — your north star document for the whole program
A Weekly Protocol Tracker — a simple daily check-in to build the habits that stick
Between-session support and accountability when needed.
Daily practices that build real momentum between sessions
Hi, I’m Michael.
I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist, certified Heroic Performance Coach, and the founder of Headway Health — a wellness practice I’ve been building for over 19 years in Austin and Buda.
After nearly two decades of working with clients, I kept seeing the same pattern: people giving everything to their families, their careers, their responsibilities, and running themselves down doing it. It wasn't because they didn’t care about themselves, it was because many of them didn't have the structure or support, or know where to start.
Rise is the practical program I built to change that.
I designed Rise around the work I would have greatly benefited from. Everything I teach, I practice. Every tool in this program has changed something real in my own life. I’m not coaching from theory, rather from the actual work I have learned from and that has improved my life.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

This program is for you if…
→You feel like you’re giving a lot to everyone around you — but not enough to yourself
→You want to be more present for your family, more purposeful in your work, more energized in your daily life — but you’re not sure where to start
→You know you’re capable of more. You feel the gap. You’re ready to close it.
→You want real tools, real conversation, and real accountability — not a course you’ll never finish
→You’re done waiting for the ‘right time’ to invest in yourself
You don’t need to have it all figured out before we start. You just need to be willing to show up honestly and do the work.
Your questions, answered.
Each session is 50 minutes, live with Michael — by video call or phone. Whichever works best for you.
Typically once per week or every two weeks — we’ll find a rhythm that fits your schedule and keeps your momentum alive between sessions.
Both options are available. Michael works with clients in person at Headway Health in the Austin/Buda area, and remotely with clients anywhere.
You’ll have your Rise workbook to work with between sessions, as well as access to support through Practice Better — the platform we use to stay connected and keep your momentum going.
That’s completely fine — most people who work with Michael haven’t. You don’t need to know anything about coaching. You just need to be willing to show up honestly and do the work.
Coaching is forward-focused — we start from where you are and move toward where you want to be. We’re not diagnosing, treating, or working through past trauma. We’re building a life you’re genuinely excited to live.
Many clients choose to continue after the initial program. We can talk about what that looks like during our last session together.
Book a free 20-minute discovery call. It’s just a real conversation — no pressure, no pitch. We figure out if this is the right fit for you and go from there.
The gap doesn’t close on its own.
You already know something needs to change. You’ve known it for a while.
The question isn’t whether you’re capable of more. You are.
The question is whether you’re ready to start.
Let’s find out together.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation to see if Rise is the right fit for you.
