About
My name is Michael Cavett.
I am a health and wellness coach, as well as a life coach. I am an entrepreneur, a restauranteur, and a former chef who loves gelato. I have worked in six different countries and I speak fluent English and Spanish. I have owned and operated restaurants, a gelato business, a kombucha bar and production facility. I have been a culinary consultant, and worked in import, export and logistics.
On August 15, 2025, I crashed while kiteboarding from 60 feet in the air onto the beach. I shattered my pelvis, fractured my hip, broke 9 vertebrae in my spine, broke all of my ribs on my left side, broke my left collarbone, fibula and my radius, and a rib went through my left lung. I had to rebuild after 42 fractures and losing 40% of my blood before arriving at the hospital.
I’ve come off opioids cold after twenty-one days in a hospital. I’ve survived a dog attack that nearly took my left arm, in Sonoma, California, a scopolamine and ketamine poisoning that nearly killed me, in Colombia, and an electrocution in a test kitchen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
For years, I have practiced alternative and holistic medicine and shamanic healing, plant medicine diets of the Shipibo people, and have woven together breath work and meditative techniques. I’ve lived the months and years after each of my experiences learning what integration actually requires.
At my lowest, I’ve said it out loud: “I don’t know if I want to be here anymore.” I pulled myself back from that. I documented it. I have lived it and now I am using it.
I am completing my certification through Wellcoaches, the gold standard in health and wellness coach training, and preparing for my NBHWC board examination. After that, ICF certification follows. The NBHWC is the national credential recognized by the American Medical Association, Medicare, and the leading health systems in the country.
The certification tells you I know what I’m doing. My life tells you, I know what you’re going through.
The first ninety days are always the hardest. That’s just the simple truth of it.
