Mick Pulver was born in Senaca, NY into a musical family. His father was a barbershop singer and both of his brothers are accomplished musicians. Mick began playing the bass guitar at the age of 13 and was playing in bands from the start.  He went on to spend years playing in bands in Florida, Oregon, Australia and California and touring with such groups  as the Mama and Papa’s. Three Dog Night, The Allman Brothers Band and dozens more. Being a natural leader, he tended to be the glue and driving force behind his groups.
While this was happening, Mick spent his 20’s 30’and 40’s on a spiritual and personal development path. He learned from great teachers and did much healing and self-discovery. For over a decade he was in a Spiritual Community in Oregon and India

He has also taught music to Aborigines in Australia for three years., and has been in Californian for the last 20 years where in 1995 he founded Breakthrough Performance Workshop. He found his gift as soon as people started singing in front of the group, he could see the blocks and issues holding them back and he had a talent for supporting them in a safe, yet challenging way.  Since 1995, 1,000’s of adults, teens, and groups have experienced this profound workshop and have expanded beyond their wildest dreams.. Mick is an accomplished song writer and greatly enjoys helping participants write songs. Mick is very intuitive and has an extraordinary skill to coach people in an empowering holistic way.

Mick Pulver has exceptional facilitation skills, coaching experience and deep dedication to truly support every single participant on their healing journey. Every moment of the workshop I felt seen, heard and received with unconditional love. What a gift!" ‘~~~ Diana Servan, Computer Programmer San Rafael, CA

It's difficult to truly express my gratitude for all that Mick has given me. I know I am a changed person, with more confidence in myself and more gusto for life! How could a person not blossom into more of who they truly are under the guidance and care Mick provided?  ~~~~~Mary Lawson -Learning Disabilities Specialist   Santa Barbara City College

I consider my Breakthrough Performance a rite of passage. I was convinced I  couldn’t sing, yet Mick gently challenged me and encouraged me to open to my vastness and claim my power. My life has been profoundly improved.
