Hello, 

I am Mike Cassidy.  My biggest accomplishment in life is my family.  A proud husband and father of 2 amazing young women.  I strive everyday to improve upon myself for one reason, to make them inspired to do the same in life.

So, I am asked all the time "What made you decide to become a Wellness Coach and Master Trainer?". First a little back story.  I was the normal professional with a great hourly job.  Then I suffered a traumatic injury that left me on a spiral to bad health.  Eventually, I found myself a man of 310 pounds and suffering from a very progressive autoimmune disease that left me broken and cane reliant. 

Now, let me answer the question: Honestly, one gigantic moment 12 years ago when I was told, "You will most likely not survive the decade".  I looked at my baby girls and realized they will not have a father to walk them through the biggest moments of life.  In shock, I had a choice, acceptance or stubborn determination.  I decided to change the prognosis and in turn change the outcome.  That day I started my next journey of education, determination and motivation towards my own person health and wellness.  

Terrified, yet unencumbered with doubt I pushed forward.  Every day, Every week, Every year led me a little closer to my goal, survival and vitality.  One day, my doctor surprised me.  He said "You did it, the disease is driven back and stable in remission. Tell your story, its inspiring."  I remember the tears that flowed from my eyes as I realized I not only changed my life but my daughters as well.  I will now be here to see them through life and have the honor of standing proudly at their side. 

I realized that day, we are not defined by our circumstances; we are the architect of them.  We can choose to allow them to chain us; or choose to use them towards growth.  

My new goal, vision & dream is to use my education, journey and empathy to help anyone that is willing to change their circumstances; to grow beyond and become more.  We are all beautiful, but are we our most vibrant, the person that has health, longevity & stamina?  If not, seek it out, not for yourself, but for all those you love.
