Welcome to my company SummitSolace, where the transformative power of nature meets the journey of self-discovery. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Mont Blanc peaks, just a stone's throw away from the picturesque town of Chamonix, SummitSolace is born from a deep belief in the profound connection between our inner selves and the natural world.

I guide leaders, founders, and seekers through real, embodied transformation.

My name is Michael Hebben, resilience coach, speaker, and founder of Summit Solace. With roots in emergency care and leadership under pressure, and branches that reach into nature-based wisdom, ceremony, and soul work, I’ve spent my life exploring what it really means to be strong.

At the heart of my work is ERA—a soul-rooted method built around three powerful phases:

Entering: Create space. Cultivate vision. Train your composure.

Reclaiming: Reconnect to your health. Have an honest inner dialogue. Rediscover your tenacity.

Returning: Collaborate. Integrate. Know that you don’t have to walk this path alone.

ERA isn’t a shortcut or a quick fix. It’s a journey—one that helps you meet life with clarity, purpose, and presence. Whether we’re hiking into the mountains, sitting in circle, or working one-on-one, the goal is the same: to build resilience from the inside out.

Because in a world of constant pressure, disconnection, and performance…

Real strength is remembering what you stand for.
And real resilience begins when we return—to ourselves, to each other, and to the Earth.

In the heart of the Mont Blanc range, you'll find me—a multifaceted individual who has devoted his life to the pursuit of holistic well-being, personal development, and transformative leadership. My journey began as a paramedic, where I gained a deep sense of empathy and a profound understanding of human resilience from serving on the front lines of emergency healthcare. Inspired by these experiences, I embarked on a new path, earning a Master's in Change Management and refining my coaching approach characterized by empathy, pragmatism, and an unwavering faith in the inherent potential of every individual.

Living amidst the majestic Mont Blanc range, I've embraced nature's curative power. Certified as a Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) guide and instructor, I lead others in reconnecting with nature, finding solace, and rejuvenation in its splendor. Additionally, as a certified Qigong Master, I utilize ancient disciplines to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health, complementing my counseling practice with expertise in breathwork and mindfulness.

At SummitSolace, we also understand the value of accessible guidance in today's interconnected world. That's why we seamlessly combine nature-based practices with virtual coaching sessions, making local wisdom and counsel available to individuals worldwide.

Beyond working with individuals, SummitSolace also extends its expertise to guiding new businesses. With a unique perspective rooted in change management and holistic well-being, we empower founders and teams not only to achieve success but also to discover equilibrium and meaning in their endeavors.

Embark on a journey of exploration, connection, and transformation with SummitSolace, where the summit of personal fulfillment meets the solace of nature's embrace.
