Rev. Guy Michaels, CH, CHt., lives in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and North Georgia. An Ordained Christian Minister, with degrees in Psychology, Counseling, and Personal Development Coaching, Guy has dedicated his life to continual growth and life-long learning. As an Entertainer, Board Certified Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, Guy created and maintains the #1 show in Gatlinburg Tennessee. His show, Comedy Hypnosis with Guy Michaels, entertains thousands of visitors to the Smokies year round. However, the show itself is merely a vehicle to help people change their lives.
“What started out as an outlet for entertainment, has evolved into a passion for fulfillment” Guy said in a recent interview. “Almost from day one, people started approaching me and stating that they had not believed in hypnosis until visiting the show.” stated Mr. Michaels. “Do you think that hypnosis could help me with my drug addictions?” and ” I wonder if you would mind talking to my wife and I about our marriage?” With a heart to serve, and a drive to help others, Guy started coaching his guests towards the pursuit of fulfillment in their lives.
In the fall of 2014 Guy lost his father to CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) which inspired Guy to pen the book The A.R.V.I.S. Effect, which was not only a tribute to his father, but a guide on how to live attain fulfillment in your life regardless of the level of success you may have achieved. Shortly after, Guy teamed up with some mentors from his past and formed the ARVIS Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation with a primary mission of providing scholarships to children to attend Character Based summer camps as well as a National Lecturing Tour designed to help students find their purpose in life. This amazing and revolutionary program is called Discover Your Genius. In addition to the scholarships, the foundation will sponsor anti-bullying school assemblies, marriage and personal development seminars and various monetary grants.
Guy’s most recent project is the development of The MICHAELS Way Coaching Programs. Although Guy has been coaching for many years, the recent demand for his coaching has reached the point where he needed an official program to satisfy those needs. By incorporating his formal education along with his training, along side friend and mentor Steve Linder, Guy has taken what he has learned and has developed different life-strategies that appeal to both individuals and couples. With his seminar series Revolutionary Relationships, and his 90 day program LifeSide Out, Guy takes his clients on a journey through their imaginations, life, and love as they embark on the life-long quest to fulfillment.
