He's also a lawyer, having earned his law degree from Stanford University and his undergraduate degree at Georgetown University. Prior to pursuing law, he also earned a Master's Degree at Vanderbilt University as a Graduate Fellow. While not the usual career path, the decisions and direction of Michael's career have been guided by a natural curiosity, passion for learning and growth, and a simple question, "What's possible?" Michael's passion to discover what is possible regarding pain and healing began when, at the age of 15, he fractured his spine, which resulted in serious nerve damage and led to subsequent injuries and multiple surgeries. Michael immersed himself in anatomy, physiology, physical therapy and anything else that might help him recover. Through this experience, he began to ask himself and others "What's possible" with respect to pain and the healing process. You can learn more about Michael's journey here: http: //... That question-asking himself and his clients what is possible in their lives-has shaped Michael Stahl's career path and the clients he's helped serve. When you ask yourself what's possible, your natural curiosity about yourself and your challenges becomes clear, and that's when healing and transformative growth can begin. See less
