When you realize you are actually not in competition with anyone. When you understand that your growth, knowledge, and wisdom contribute to the Whole, and that everyone else is contributing to the Whole in the same way, it creates a release of fear, and it gives you a freedom unlike anything you have ever experienced.
~ Mike Dinkel
about MIKE
“My mission is to help people achieve a meaningful life, rooted in dignity and love. I work with people of all ages and in different phases of their lives. When working with people facing illness or dis-ease, I am able to sense the underlying causes of illness and injury through intuitive insights and visions. Drawing from a number of diverse energetic healing techniques (i.e. CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, SomatoEmotional Release, etc.) I facilitate your healing—mind, body, spirit, and soul— so you can live a fulfilling life.”
As a child Mike knew there was something special about his soul. He knew things that others didn’t understand. Mike’s first experience with the spiritual realm was with an Angel at the age of three years old. He was awakened to a violet flame dancing on his chest. Every time he tried to snuff out the flame, it would move out of the way. Then when he finally gave up, the flame flickered and told him that everything would be OK. It then slowly faded away.
Mike first started doing his healing work at the age of ten when people began sharing their life stories, pains, and traumas with him. He provided a listening ear and energetic healing, enabling them to walk away feeling better. Since then, he has had many different experiences which have furthered his abilities to help others in need.
Today, Mike's work is rooted in CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, SomatoEmotional Release Therapy, The Avenue of Expression, and Hands-on Healing. When working with a client, he receives intuitive messages that enable him to sense the likely underlying causes of their health issues. He often gains insight as to other possible imbalances—be it on the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual plane. In doing his work he addresses these problems, and works with the client to correct them.
Mike is also a wonderful Channel, an Intuitive Medium, and a teacher who focuses on empowering his students. He also performs Remote Healings. He continues to develop his skills working with various teachers from around the world. Most importantly, Mike feels blessed to be able to help many people.

For in-person healing, I offer the following Healing Modalities
CranioSacral Therapy
SomatoEmotional Release Therapy
The Avenue Of Expression Therapy
Reiki Healing
Vocal Toning Therapy
Hands-On Healing
Craniosacral therapy
"CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger pioneered and developed it after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University, where he served as professor of biomechanics.
Using a soft touch, which is generally no greater than 5 grams - about the weight of a nickel - practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster disease resistance, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction."

Each session is either 60 or 90 minutes.
SomatoEmotional Release Therapy
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process developed by Dr. John E. Upledger and Dr. Zvi Karni that extends CranioSacral Therapy beyond the biomechanical system into the body's stored emotional life. The word "somato" refers to the body; the full name describes what the process does -- it facilitates the body's release of emotional energy that became lodged in tissue following trauma, injury, or prolonged stress.
The concept rests on a clinical observation that Upledger and Karni made during their research: when the body experiences trauma, it sometimes cannot fully process and dissipate the energy from that event. What it cannot process, it retains. Upledger and Karni called this retained energy an energy cyst: a localized area in the body's tissue where the force of an unresolved event continues to be held. Energy cysts disrupt normal tissue function and, over time, demand increasing energy from the body to contain them.
SER uses the practitioner's hands, along with dialogue and specific facilitation techniques, to help the body locate and release these retained energies -- often alongside the surfacing of memories, emotions, or images associated with the original event.
Each session is 60 to 120 minutes.
The Avenue Of Expression Therapy
The "avenue of expression" in therapy refers to the mouth, jaw, and throat area, which Dr. John Upledger—the co-founder of CranioSacral Therapy—identified as the primary physical pathway for human communication and emotional release.
Core Concept
Anatomical focus: Includes the jaw, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), hard palate, throat, and hyoid bone.
Nervous system connection: Gentle manual work inside and around the mouth helps balance the nervous system and release stored tension.
Emotional release: Linked to SomatoEmotional Release (SER) protocols designed to help individuals process trauma and "speak their truth".
The techniques for freeing the Avenue of Expression (AOE) have been shown to:
Assist the release of structural issues, such as cervical, lumbar, and pelvic dysfunctions.
Improve swallowing, breathing, teeth alignment, and temporomandibular mobility.
Facilitate the ability to articulate, communicate, and speak one’s truth.
Potential Benefits
Relieves TMJ dysfunction and jaw tension.
Improves breathing, swallowing, and vocal production.
Releases structural restrictions in the neck, head, and spine.
Each session is 60 minutes.
REiki Healing
Reiki healing is a Japanese energy-transfer technique where a practitioner places their hands gently on or just above the body to encourage relaxation and stress reduction. Reiki means "universal life energy." It's an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow in the body. Reiki practitioners believe that there's an energy force in and around the body. There is a flow of energy between the Reiki practitioner and the receiver of the treatment. It is thought that Reiki releases energy flows and allows the body's own natural healing ability to work.
Reiki focuses on seven main energy centers, called chakras, that are in your body. The energy should flow freely through your chakras for you to be spiritually, physically, and mentally healthy. Practitioners believe that if energy paths are blocked, you may feel ill or weak or have pain.
A reiki treatment session usually lasts an hour. The reiki practitioner puts their hands over or on your body at certain chakras. Most reiki practitioners recommend more than one session.
People use reiki to decrease pain, ease muscle tension, speed healing, and improve sleep. Many people who receive reiki say they have a refreshed spirit, better healing, and an increase in general well-being. Reiki is sometimes used to help people who suffer from pain or discomfort from cancer or other diseases. Some people who've had chemotherapy treatment said they felt better and had less nausea after having a reiki session.
Each session is 60 minutes.
Vocal Toning Therapy
Vocal Toning Therapy is a sound-healing practice where a person uses their own voice to produce prolonged, sustained vowel sounds or humming on a single, comfortable pitch without words or melodies.
Unlike traditional singing, which relies on changing notes, rhythm, and lyrics, toning focuses entirely on the breath, resonance, and physical vibration inside the body.
How It Works
Breath and Sound: You take a deep breath and let out a steady, gentle sound—such as "Ah," "Oh," or a closed-mouth hum—for as long as your exhalation comfortably lasts. [1, 2]
Nervous System Impact: The physical vibrations travel through the chest and head, stimulating nerves like the vagus nerve to help shift the body into a relaxed, parasympathetic state. [1]
Intention: Practitioners use focused intent to direct these vibrations toward specific areas of tension or energetic centers in the body. [1, 2, 3]
Potential Benefits
Physical benefits include cell/tissue stimulation, stress reduction, blood pressure regulation, and immune support.
Emotional Release: Helps process stuck emotions, release stress, and clear mental tension through focused vocal expression.
Mindfulness: Deepens meditative focus by anchoring your awareness entirely on your internal sound and breath.
Each session is 60 minutes.
Hands-On Healing
Hands-on healing is a complementary therapy where a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above a person’s body to influence the body’s energy field and promote deep relaxation, channel energy, reduce pain, and restore balance.
The Process of a Session
Intake and Assessment: The practitioner asks about your symptoms and goals. They then scan your body with their hands just above your clothes to find areas of energetic imbalance.
Centering: The practitioner enters a quiet, meditative state to focus their attention.
Energy Balancing: While you lie fully clothed on a table or sit in a chair, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or a few inches above specific areas of your body
Clearing: They use sweeping or holding motions to clear blockages, restore a smooth flow of energy, and encourage the body's natural healing response.
Core Concepts and Mechanism
Energy Flow: Practitioners believe a vital life energy flows through the body, and illness or stress can block or disturb this flow.
Technique: A session involves gentle touch or holding hands a few inches above the recipient to clear blockages and promote relaxation.
Intent: The primary goal is to provide care, ease anxiety, and support the body's natural healing process.
How and Why It Helps
The Energy Model: Practitioners understand that stress, trauma, or illness disrupt the body's natural energy flow. Channeling or rebalancing this energy will restore health and relieve pain.
The Scientific View: Scientific research shows that intentional human touch and deep relaxation activate the nervous system, lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, and trigger feelings of safety and compassion.
Each session is 60 minutes.
REMOTE HEALING
For in-person healing, I offer all the Healing Modalities listed above.
Remote Healing, also called Long Distance Healing, enables you to receive treatment from the comfort of your home. Similar to in-person healing, but done from a distance—the client is at a different location. Each session begins with a check-in by phone or via Zoom to find out what the client’s needs are. Then the client is asked to lie down or be seated in a relaxed and calm environment. After the healing work is completed, the client is then called again by phone or via Zoom. We will then go over what types of healing work have been used for the client during their session, what intuitive information has been brought forward, and what suggestions have been made to help with the healing process. The client will often feel calmer, more relaxed, in much less pain, and more peaceful.
Each session is 60 or 90 minutes.
IN-PERSON OR Remote Psychic Readings
Mike and his spiritual healing team connect with the client’s spiritual guides and healing team and, working for the highest good and best outcome for all involved, answer questions and address issues that help the client move forward in their life.
Each session is 60 minutes.
IN-PERSON OR Remote MEDIUMSHIP Readings:
Communicating with Loved ones OR PETS THAT have passed
Mike utilizes his strong intuitive and empathic skills to communicate with those who have passed on to the other side in order to either help them find great peace or to help heal and resolve unanswered questions and issues with those who remain here on earth.
Each session is 60 minutes.

EXPECTATIONS & EXPLANATIONS
What to expect from a healing session:
First, it is important to keep in mind Mike is not a medical doctor. He cannot diagnose or make any type of medical recommendation. The primary purpose of working together is to support the body in letting go of stress and tension so that the body’s natural ability to heal itself is activated.
You may experience a sense of deep relaxation and calmness. Conversely, you may experience a sense of restlessness as the energy moves through your body—it is helping to let go of old tensions and unblocking stagnant energy.
After the session, you may feel deeply relaxed as well as energized. A sense of peacefulness and calmness may be prevalent.
You may experience stronger, more lucid dreams.
It is important to drink lots of water and rest afterward. This helps the body repair and heal its self, be it on a physical, emotional, or spiritual level.
Most importantly, after a session, take time to honor and be gentle with yourself. If you have ANY questions, do not hesitate to call, text, or email Mike.
May Peace, Love, and Dignity Prevail.
