DAMON HARPER
SARASOTA FLORIDA
"Damon is truly a unique individual. We all somehow fear the truth and don’t realize it is the only thing of value in our minds, our relationship with others, and a key to dealing with our challenges. Damon's support and genuine interest in me another human being helped me see thru the mirad of excuses I have for my own shortcomings, demons, and vices. One needs to feel truly safe and non- threatened to talk out loud with another human being about what hurts them, what they fear, what they want to work towards. Damon lets you let your guard down. You can work thru anything with this type of support. Damon helped me open my eyes to differentiate between the bullshit and what is truly important and relevant. I came for a boot camp on my physical body. I learned that my body is only a reflection of what’s going on in my head. If you address only the cosmetic presentation of your being you are misleading yourself. I truly thought getting in tune with your mind and inner spirituality was mumbo jumbo only for those with too much time on there hands. I learned from Damon that I listened to the wrong voices, usually the ones outside of me trying to control me, and worst kept me locked into a script that was bringing me down with others negative energy. My experience with Damon was an awakening and a new beginning to direct my life from within. It will surely take some time since I as many have been programmed not to trust their inner senses. Damon’s positivity is inspiring and provides the inspiration to abandon your excuses and move forward on all levels."

“As a Job Coach and user of Damon’s Services, I am here to inform you of his services. He is a very wise and caring man who believes in and lives the Mind Body Spirit Ethics that he proposes. He will be soon working with me using Hydro and Water Therapy with Tai Chi for my hip and Acetabulam. I recently had a motor vehicle accident and he knows this will be helpful to me. He has also counseled me on Nutrition Techniques to avoid the development of Arthritis. Damon has very strong Ethics. His yes means yes and his no means no. He takes each Individual as a whole being not just the body but a person with a mind, heart and soul. There are many ways to get you to wholeness, He gets the job done. I encourage anyone to work with him directly and see for yourself why.”
Rev. Terry D. Sarasota Florida
"I used to live in Portland, remembering in the spring went I went to Florida to learn yoga on the beach and then I met the Yoga Man (also known as Damon) Well, that was the start of some pretty big change in my life you know, taking charge of my life, becoming emotionally stable, quitting my job, moving to New York!! Truthfully, Damon has been a great life coach and influencer in my life. Through asking the tough questions that no one else asks - he caused me to think with a new perspective and as a result - behave and act in ways that caused great positive change on all levels of my life - personally, professionally, financially, emotionally, physically. I wouldn't recommend Damon to you unless I truly believed in his work. If you not satisfied with your life right now - or there are aspects of your life that you want to try to figure out or make sense of - then Damon is the man for you! One thing that I love about Damon is that he assigns "homework" for you - each task he assigns is very relevant to your situation and will cause you to think and carry the lessons you learn throughout each week and really your life. If you've ever been interested in life coaching - I highly recommend you get in contact with Damon.”

"After nearly five years of being in business, the economy tanking and unsuccessful attempts to sell our business, we were directed to Dr. Sporty's consulting business to help us navigate the closing of our store. While it was easy to manage the opening and day to day business of the store, we had made no plans for an exit strategy. Dr. Sporty guided us thought the process with much patience, a calm demeanor and assisted us with the myriad things that accompany the process of reducing inventory, filing proper forms, dissolving the cooperation, etc. We would recommend his services to others in this situation as well as to business who just need help struggling through day to day operations."

"You are most Welcome Coach/Abs of Steel, and worth every penny really, you are the First Trainer that I feel can take me to the next level both physically and mentally, you understand the two go hand in hand a lot of trainers seem to want to break you down mentally. I see trainers every morning putting people through their 'drills' and I am embarrassed for the clients most of the time. Admittedly the private setting allows us to talk more openly and mix things up from the ball to the beach."

" I met Damon Harper at the beginning of this year (2010) when he inquired about shooting a commercial for his Dr. Sporty show at one of our model homes. He was very professional courteous and respected the permissions we gave him sending us updates every few days on how the commercial was progressing. He came across as a very trustworthy and good person and that has been my experience with him."

"As a former water therapy client of Soul Strength Productions, I feel as if my life my health and my spirit have been restored twice by Damon’s Professionalism. I have known Damon on a personal and professional level for 7 years. During this time I have observed his negotiating skills. Among the many hats he wears he has proven to be much more than a physical trainer and life coach, he is also skilled in the art of negotiation and arbitration. Recently, I was having some work done on my home and was not receiving the level of customer service we human beings all deserve. Not wanting to participate in what has become a suit conscious society I sought out Damon’s professional services again. I am so GLAD I did! As a result of Damon’s talents and the level of customer service he provided all parties involved in the situation has been amicably resolved. I know he is busy and has other clients, yet during the process I felt as if I was his only client. This is not an everyday occurrence any of us experiences with customer service. I am so very grateful.
Thank you Damon."

"I met Damon Harper 2 year's ago when he came to the salon where I work, "Panache Hair Salon & Spa."
Damon was hired to do workshops for the salon. He taught me and the other employee's about the importance of safety, how to deal with the public, and our self-esteem. I can't speak for the others, but I know they would agree, I learned so much from what he had to say. I personally still remember so much of what he taught me and I can truly say I use a lot of it every day. He has a wonderful way of getting a point across to you. A way that it stay's with-in you. Damon has been a good friend ever since. He didn't just do the workshop and disappear. He has kept in touch and is always concerned for my well-being. It's been my pleasure knowing him."

I find Damon's work to be from his heart & experience, therefore always providing a positive & professional outcome."

Damon has always embraced values that pertain to healthy living-physically and emotionally. Damon is always eager to learn and grow. I am certain that he is dedicated and valuable."

“I first was introduced to Damon, with the new owner of Del Mar Gallery and Florist. I was looking for a job as a Floral Designer as I used to own and practice my own Business, in Sarasota, Florida. Damon is known in the village of who he is and what he does and had helped with the new owner from Germany in the transition and knew a designer was needed. Working with Damon From the Fall of 2005 on and off , he not only helped with the new gallery and florist, but we built a friendship together and he provided me with a new found relationship I had lost so long ago….myself. During the three years, Damon worked with me as a Life Coach and as well, I did some of the Personal Training and Water Therapy. Damon also helped my son Jon with his job But most of all his detail to my life and how he told me what I needed for myself all has come true for me. In the manner I could not see at first, but Damon’s work with me help me see that all I wanted in my life was in my power, reach and control? Yes, it all was. I had to believe in it but most of all I had to believe in me and do my part. I as well witnessed Damon in his Executive Consulting work with the new owner. He has helped make this place grow and is a part of it. But, Damon is true to what he told me and everything he said has come true for me. He helped me see the me, he dusted off the mess with me and he made me polish and fine tune it. Today, March 2008, I am with a great new man in my life, and have moved to the Bahamas, going to Europe for a month. I have everything I could ever imagine and wanted. And I Thank Damon for all his work to help me see … the real beauty in me. I trust in Damon and all his work, I recommend him to anyone for Life Coaching and Executive Consulting. Damon, I will see you when you come down here in the summer! ”

“WHEW-HEW! CONGRATULATIONS! How very exciting! They are so very lucky to have you Damon. I was just going to send you a thank you email (late of course!) for having me on your show. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and delightful news with me about The Red Cross, I truly appreciate being included in yours and Michael's lives. So again, thank you so much Damon for having me on the 'Dr. Sporty' show. It was so much fun. You made everything so comfortable and natural that I nearly forgot we were on camera! A couple of times, I caught myself being a little bit too silly, a bit unprofessional I think because I feel so comfortable with you that I just "let loose"! When will I get a copy of the DVD? I am excited to share it (not before viewing it first of course! (Smiley Face) It was really fun, you must have a lot of fun doing your show, and I couldn't believe how fast time went by. I giggle when I think about how we had to close so quickly at the end because we blabbed so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

"I had the pleasure of having to use Damon Harper as an official consultant in a venue that he prepared and successfully finalized. I am so happy with Damon Harpers professionalism and the brilliance in how he handled the case with urgency and communication. I could not have seen myself having to do the process myself and so relieved that Damon took this case and new what exactly to do. Everyone needs at one time or another a professional consultant in there life that is their voice and direction, Damon Harper did just that and made me feel confident. Thank You Damon."

“I wanted to take this time to thank you again for all the time you spent with me during our work out sessions, talking on the phone, and e-mail exchanges. I really enjoyed our time and I found you to be very knowledgeable and motivational. The time you spent with me helped me reach my goals. You are a very positive and uplifting person; and no matter what is going on in my life I can fall back on your encouraging words and this really motivated me to stick to it, but it also helped me to realize that it is okay to stumble and/or have small set backs. You helped me realize that I need to be real and honesty with myself; that I do not have to answer to anyone except myself; and, that these set backs are not the end of the world nor do they take away all of my success or accomplishments. As you know I’m the one that always takes care of everyone else and I tend to put my needs last. You have helped me get over feeling guilty when I do something for myself, you made me realize that I deserve it and that it is okay to put myself first at times. I really do consider you a true friend and not just my life coach.”
Sincerely, L.S. Sarasota Florida
“I have had the pleasure of working with Damon Harper over the course of ten years as his client and colleague. Mr. Harper was contracted to provide hydro therapy after I experienced an automobile accident. I believe his excellent work saved me from hip replacement surgery in 2003. In 2009 I requested his assistance with an unlicensed construction and roofing company doing work on my home. I had to fire the company and Damon helped me to recover funds from that event. Most recently in doing business with another home services provider he assisted me in recovering funds from a mistake that company made and for poor customer service supplied to me. Mr. Harper was very professional and caring in his dealings with me and other clients of whom I am aware. They expressed appreciation for the information, advice, and motivation he provided. Mr. Harper was self-directed but always kept me apprised of his activities and progress and asked questions when necessary. I highly recommend Mr. Harper for any position dealing with the public in a teaching or leadership capacity.” Sincerely, Rev. Terry Dean Sarasota Florida
