Coaching & Psychotherapy  Sessions

Michael Hoffman brings 25 years experience as a licensed psychotherapist to provide clear guidance and support.
Natural Way of Being Coaching works with aspects of your life that you want to awaken. It involves reevaluating the things you want (and do not want) in your life and creating a new life path. 
Psychotherapy is effective at resolving relationship issues (including divorce and loss of passion) and phase of life changes.
Michael offers sessions both in-person in his Bend, Oregon office and online via video-conference to clients throughout the world.

Retreats & Online Workshops

Retreats walk you through a complete transition and rite-of-passage into a new, natural way of being. These intensive workshops utilize sharing circles, ceremony, and meditation to directly experience your truth and what you actually value.  
Online Workshops​ allow you to actively participate via Zoom video conference to awaken an open and collaborative way of being. Each week's online session offers a talk and sharing circle to express your heart and receive guidance. A personal practice video and self-inquiry assignment is sent out each week.
