Real words from coaching clients.

“Michael played a meaningful role in supporting my coming out journey, helping me navigate that process with reflection, steadiness, and compassion. He created a space where I felt safe exploring identity, personal growth, and life direction without pressure or judgment. Simply, delicious.”

“Working with Michael was such a gift in my life. His coaching helped me unlock new passions, set aside old ideas of myself, and gain perspective on who I am and who I was becoming. He is warmly challenging in all the ways I needed. If you're looking for a coach, especially a gay men's coach, run don't walk.”

“Michael was a breath of fresh air I really needed in a time of great social distress. He listens, takes good notes, and respectfully calls you out on your own stuff. Since working with him I'm more confident and self-aware in social spaces, and I'm learning to be more present while brushing off the unpleasant experiences others may put on me. He comes highly recommended from me.”

“Having Michael as a coach was a breath of fresh air. As a gay man there are certain nuances and issues very specific to our culture — Michael understands this fully and offers a safe space to share your experiences and unpack the emotional cargo we carry. His coaching is action-oriented — he holds you accountable for the work you commit to.”

“Michael DiIorio is a brilliant, highly experienced coach whose work through Wellismo Coaching is both impactful and inspiring. His depth of experience, clarity, and thoughtful approach make Wellismo Coaching truly stand out. Highly recommend.”

“I had listened to Michael on his podcast and started coaching with high expectations, but over 10 sessions he still exceeded them. It really helped me look at things from a different perspective and gave me tools to continue to improve my mental health. Money well used.”
