Client Experiences
“My individual experience with Michelle offered a safe and compassionate space to connect with mind, body, and spirit. Her knowledge and skill as both a trauma therapist and somatic practitioner enabled me to work through places of 'stuckness' and regain trust in my own ability to heal. She is a true spirit guide!” -PC
“Michelle is absolutely amazing!!! I’ve been working with her for a few years now and I can honestly say so much of my healing and growth has been due to our sessions and the work we’ve done together. Specifically, her work with TRET/energy work surrounding trauma has been life-changing for me. She truly has a way of making you feel fully comfortable, valued, and prioritized as a whole person/client. 11/10 do and always will recommend others to see her :)” - Amanda
“I’ve been a life long healer, and always doing the inner work. I worked on a trauma with a PhD in Psychology who is also a professor and clinical supervisor. Michelle’s work was much further reaching. In just a few TRET sessions, we cleared a childhood trauma that had been destroying my relationships and myself in the process. This is exactly what I needed. I am so grateful and excited to move forward. ” - JBS
“Michelle has a wealth of knowledge that she provided me and offers other perspectives that I have never thought of. I love her holistic approach to things.” - Lesley
“I started working with Michelle when I was going through some difficult and confusing times. Her patience and inner light enabled me to begin to accept my grief and disappointments and begin to heal. She was able to give me the strategies and confidence to accept what I could not control. Through each session I was guided by her calm yet energetic force to grow. Her healing reiki therapy ending each session left me feeling brighter each week. I owe so much to Michelle. The light in me will always be brighter because of her.” - Stacey
Yoga Series and Workshops
“Michelle provided an exceptional program that was incredibly innovative in providing multiple modalities within each session to address the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of health and wellbeing. I’m not aware of any program out there that is as all encompassing.” -Diana
“I think the best part is that Michelle really sets up the workshop to be an individual experience. You don’t have to come in with prior knowledge or be perfect with your poses. So, if someone is on the fence because they don’t know much about Yoga, please know that it’s okay to come as you are!” -TH
“I gained space for myself, and the foundation of a recurring practice. January was a perfect time for this class-both new beginnings and a lightness in the dark of winter. Highly recommend!” -AM
“Participating in this workshop series finally helped me identify and release stored trauma. I became empowered in myself to help myself in my healing journey.” -ER
“I felt that this series offered me an opportunity to reconnect with myself and my emotions. It felt like a gift!” -TH
“Definitely a workshop- reflection, introspection and sharing. Will leave you feeling calmer and more grounded. I hope to remember (!) and use the techniques we practiced in class! Thank you!” -SL
“I personally gained more self love and body awareness….as well as mind body connections. I liked all the exercises” -MM
“This series helped deepen both my yoga practice and my meditation practice. Michelle showed us ways to incorporate the mind body connection so that daily stress does not run as a loop in your mind. Allowing thoughts to come and go as you strengthen your physical ability made for an enriching and calming experience. The introduction to the different chakras expanded my understanding of the roll they need to play in my personal health.” -Ursela
“What I gained.... confidence! I was able to step outside my comfort zone with these classes and challenge myself to be present and mindful. Successes...so many! By week 4 I felt I was able to flow from one yoga pose to another while also focusing on my breathing. I was also able to connect internally to the physicality of the poses and moves. I implemented many suggestions into my everyday life; such as journaling, meditating and use of the essential oils. Most importantly, I discovered how to “let go” and become more aware of my vulnerability and not avoid these situations, but to face them and accept that sometimes it’s okay to be uncomfortable.”- Emily
"When the sun rises, so do I. After my "Restore & Rise" series with Michelle, I have stored a sense of confidence and peace inside me. It's deeper than the basic yoga poses; it's about finding your own strength and comfort within the challenges that life throws at you. Within the chaos, I found my own rhythm which was hard for me at first but it's truly all about listening to yourself; your breath, your heart and then the mind follows. I consider myself a yogi rookie because I never delved deeply into my inner myself until now, but with the guidance of Michelle's soothing voice and techniques, I can always tune myself back into the present moment and instead of reacting impulsively, I respond with awareness. Every minute of my class was therapeutic especially with the essential oils that were given." -Kelli
“I gained a deeper connection with myself both physically and mentally on the mat. You helped me escape from the stresses in my life and focus more on the present. I feel that the experience has left me more grateful, knowing that each day is an opportunity for a fresh start. Finally, the explanations of each chakra and use of essential oils really added to the series. The smaller group and tea samples gave a very cozy and comforting feel!” – Raelene
