What does Michael Seery do—and how is his approach different?
Michael helps those who’ve lost lifelong partners find healing, rediscovery, and purpose. His coaching combines NLP, energy psychology, mindset training, positive psychology and hypnosis and his own lived experience with loss. Using the RISE Framework™, he guides clients to heal their identity—not just manage their emotions.
What if I’ve already tried therapy, journaling, or grief groups—and they didn’t work?
That’s exactly why The Grandpa Coach exists. Michael’s method addresses the root identity shift required after losing a spouse—something traditional grief support often overlooks. His approach works at the emotional and subconscious level to create lasting momentum forward.
