Michael Torres Jaimes is no stranger when it comes to understanding what it is to choose a life making all the wrong choices.  Choices that ended up resulting in a 10 year Federal prison sentence.

Through a process of study, application, and spiritual transfomation, Michael was presented with a calling to help others wake up from the illusion that leads to  “the poor little me syndrome”.  Since his release he has continued to take various personal growth classes, graduating at the highest level from PSI seminars, Ike Pono, Marshall Thurber’s world games, and others.  

Michael strives to make an impact upon his release from prison.  He coaches individuals on how to attain freedom…freedom from their own mind, he volunteers as staff at PSI seminars, and he presents motivational speeches at Emerging Leaders Program (a mentoring program for newly released prisoners and helps them integrate back into society).
