Rev. Mikey Noechel, MS, is a mental health counselor and Buddhist teacher who seamlessly blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology. Holding a master's degree in counseling psychology from Troy University, Mikey integrates mindfulness, compassion, and loving-kindness into his practice.

He received empowerments as a meditation teacher from Ven. Pannavati Bhikkhuni and Ven. Pannadipa Bhikkhu, earning the name Rogahari Sokatura, meaning "healer of the broken-hearted."

Mikey Noechel extends an invitation to explore the intersection of mental well-being and spiritual growth. Through his teachings, he seeks to guide others on a transformative journey, offering age-old meditation practices through a lens of contemporary understanding.

Mikey's clinical superpower lies in recognizing that love is the most important medicine. As a person in long-term recovery, I understand. I’ve been there, and I have the tattoos to prove it! My non-judgmental and nurturing approach, along with my piercings and band shirts, has brought many people to endearingly call me the “punk rock Mr. Rogers.”
