“I’ve had some of the best revelations and experiences of my life working with John. I was shocked to realize and uncover the essence of who I am at the core of my existence. John’s process helped me to dig deep and bring forth truths and treasures, which in turn enabled me to feel confident while staying true to who I am as a person and artist. A highlight of his coaching has been his energy clearing work. I was going through some personal turmoil and very painful emotions that brought my career to a dead stop. As soon as I shared this issue with John, he suggested the energy clearing exercise- it was a very moving and powerful experience that helped empower me to ward off negative vibes and open myself up to much more positive energy that continues to fuel my drive and desire to press forward.
“As someone with cerebral palsy, I considered myself to have somewhat limited “rockstar” potential. But through working with John, I’ve learned that we are all born with gifts deep within us, and the sooner we discover what those gifts are and bring them to the forefront, the sooner we can have a fulfilled life and become genuinely empowered.”

“John has a way of making you very comfortable that you feel like you can disclose your deepest fears to him and he will listen and help you through. The energy clearing session was a new experience for us and we recalled having feelings of intense vibrations through our whole body during the time where John “journeys with your soul”. It was strange but extremely calming. He helped us discover our spirit guides that we each have by our sides all the time, waiting to help us with any problem in life. After the session we both commented on how much lighter we felt, like a weight had been lifted from us. It was definitely a feeling of clearness and of being cleansed.
Since then, our recordings in the studio have run smoothly and effortlessly. This is due in part to the wonderful sessions we had with John. His positive and healing energies translated through the computer screen, across the thousands of miles, and helped us step confidently into our new project, which has definitely turned out to be a success. Thank you John!”

“My experience with John was amazing. His energy is so brilliant to experience in and of itself. He is so balanced -very earthy and grounded, yet connected to such a high place. I felt safe and well looked after. He cleared the blocks I had in my chakras, and did a soul retrieval for me. Not only was it very relaxing, but afterward I felt such a sense of peace, joy, and excitement for life again! I am amazed at how powerful the soul retrieval was. As an energy healer myself, I have received many energy healings from other practitioners. I have never before experienced a session with a shaman, and it was such a joy. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience John’s work and all that he brings to a session!”

“When John and I started working together, I had a sense that his insights and approach would help define my sense of direction. I was immediately comfortable with John and confident that this would be a valuable investment.
As we’ve continued working together, it’s become clear that working with John goes far beyond being “a good idea”. What I’ve experienced, and continue to experience, falls nothing short of a life-changing metamorphosis.
I can say with a-thousand-percent certainty, making the investment in John and yourself is something you have to do if you’re serious about achieving a high level of success.”

“John has shown me the best qualities in myself and how to live them and express them fully and genuinely. He has helped me to create and nurture a confidence in myself in a way I never knew I could. Since meeting him, I have found a momentum in pursuing dreams and goals once seemingly so far out of reach. Rather than “finding myself” I know how to make myself into the person that can do those things. John has been an involved and interested guide for my ever-evolving path in life, not only showing me how closer my destinations are but also how much fun the journey can be.”

“BMI is fortunate to have had John Battaglia present his seminar twice now in the last year. Being such a dynamic and inspiring speaker, his philosophies are right on. He provides artists, managers, producers, and other image-makers the tools required to shape not only a physical image, but also the mental aspects that keep artists in top form. His positive and entertaining messages kept everyone on the edge of their seat.”

“John’s workshop was one of the greatest experiences in my life. He has helped me to reach my goals and become a star in everything I do. I have benefited greatly from all of his tips, advice, and support. John has helped with my mindset, my presence onstage, in the studio, and in front of the cameras. If you are focused and want to win the game that you are playing, John is the first person you want to reach out to.”

“When I met John my life was in a chaotic state of artistic expression. I thought I knew what I wanted to achieve in a broad sense but lacked serious focus. I had no clear perception of what I stood for as an artist, thus, had no clue on how to really accomplish my objectives. Basically, I was a poster boy for ADD exhibiting a shotgun approach to my endeavors but in reality was stagnant in my growth because I lacked direction.
John immediately put me on a path of awareness of myself as a person, as well as an artist. Our interaction consisted of a perpetual series of personal exercises accompanied by thought full discussions allowing me to see, for the first time, what my true ambitions were. He helped me see what I wanted to be, finally freeing me of my worst enemy…myself. Accomplishing this allowed us to develop a roadmap for what we now understood to be my desired goals, thus enabling me to enjoy the journey of my dreams. Thankfully, John’s coaching put me on track to attack my life ambitions with absolute clarity.”

“John is fantastic to work with. He is an insightful, compassionate person who is part image consultant, part marketing & publicity strategist and part empathic life coach all wrapped up into one. When you decide to work with him, be prepared to go on the most amazing journey toward your dreams. One aspect of this journey is discovering how to allow the “real you” to shine through all of your fears and baggage. The other aspect is sharpening and expanding that image of the “real you” so the rest of the world can see and enjoy your precious, unique gifts. Not only will you receive the vital emotional support needed for such an endeavor but John will also offer concrete, practical steps all along the way, making the whole process much less daunting and much more attainable. It’s difficult to imagine a better ally than John.”

His years of experience working with some of the world’s most successful artists translates into solid guidance for his clients.

John was able to take those steps, outline them for me, and then hone them specifically for my career. Above all, John cares about his client’s needs, ambitions, and dreams. I can honestly say that my career is, in fact, a career largely because of John.”

All the elements were there before but John helped me magnify those big qualities within my personality. It was a focus on pure emotion and we really nailed how to better unlock that. John’s been a great consultant for us ever since.”

“John has been an incredible person to work with. I am by far the hardest person to teach style to, but John took a great approach and was very patient with me. It was awesome because he didn’t just tell me what to wear and he didn’t make me into something I’m not. He made me think about who I am as a person. The outside image that we created was just a reflection of that. He’s a great personality, a great listener, and an overall amazing person to work with.”

He has definitely assisted me in achieving my goals. It’s a great comfort to have someone like him in your corner. I’ve always been a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants sorta girl, and while I still have my pants flying I’m more focused and in control of them! Luv you, John!”
