"I help people who are dedicated to serving others with finding the best ways to serve themselves."
~Mike Matarazzo, CTACC, CEC

Who I Work With
​
Anyone who works in a high stress and time demanding profession makes an ideal candidate for my style of coaching. After working in a field for any significant amount of time, it's easy to become programmed to start believing that your own needs and mental health have to take a back seat to the job. Being a professional Chef for nearly 25 years and counting, I can relate to the challenges that we face and have learned how to lower the volume of life and find my inner voice of reason. I have worked with chefs, restaurant managers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, doctors, and active duty military members that effectively realized better versions of themselves through coaching.

How Does Coaching Work?​
​Our sessions are a positive place where we focus exclusively on you. You bring your own topic to each session and I ask strategic, thought provoking questions that help you move toward your best answers. Together, we will discover the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and cooperatively brainstorm action plans to help move you forward. I am your partner in support and accountability.
​
I do not tell you what you "should" do and I never pass judgement on your thoughts or actions. I will share my own experiences when it is appropriate and am an open book for any questions or advice that will help you. I will empathize with you and celebrate your victories, but I will also challenge you to put in the work and keep working toward your goals.
​
Coaching sessions generally take place either by phone or on Zoom.
​
Most sessions are 50 minutes in duration, but may differ based on the chosen plan.
​
You will come to each session with a topic and at the end of each session we will have developed some kind of action plan or "homework" that you will commit to completing before our next session. You are ultimately in control of your own life and actions so at the end of the day, you decide how much work you are going to put in to this process. That being said, it will be very difficult for you to realize lasting change if you are not willing to get out of your comfort zone and take action.
Coaching Options & Rates​
​My ultimate goal here is to provide assistance and support to those who seek it. Investing in a coaching relationship is no different than investing in a personal trainer, gym membership, or chiropractor for that matter. I have developed the following plans to meet all needs and budgets. My ultimate goal here is to provide assistance and support to those who seek it so I am not opposed to implementing a sliding scale when possible to ensure that I can effectively reach a meaningful population, so please don't be afraid to get in touch if money is an issue. I will always do my best to work with your budget.
