Michael was born and raised in Tennessee, with a promotion to an operations manager it led him to Georgia in 1998. From the weight room to the birthing room, his path has been one of transformation—of discovering that true strength is not measured by muscle or might, but by presence, peace, and the willingness to serve.

Since 1995, Michael’s work as a personal trainer, medical assistant, and body mechanic has evolved into a ministry of holistic restoration. Through Framework Wellness & Fitness, LLC, he has guided hundreds toward healing through movement, breath, and spiritual alignment, helping others reclaim balance from the inside out.

Now, as co-founder of InnerKnowing Project, Michael brings that same embodied wisdom into the sacred work of pregnancy and birth by supporting expectant mothers and their partners through teaching gentle alignment, breath work, and restorative body techniques including spinal therapy, myofascial release, and passive stretching. Holding space to teach partners hands-on comfort tools to promote optimal fetal positioning and bring comfort throughout labor.

With sacred care and reverence his medical trainings allow him to be prepared for the rare emergencies that may take place. Michael walks in this new rhythm: one hand in healing, one hand in faith.

Together with his wife, Lorie, he may stand at times as one of the guardians of sacred beginnings— serving families, training others, and witnessing the wonder of life’s unfolding with humility. Other times he remains standing with respect outside of the birthing space.
