Owl-smart, Michelle has guided me to see my parts and helped me to realize that even with all our facets, all our compartments, this is not who we are. My work has been to recover from the body/mind trauma of open-heart surgery and for me to accept my ‘anxiety mind parts’ and find resiliency. But what has happened working with Michelle is larger than that: Through what I would call our awareness work, the un -packaging, the dropping into a state of calm (I call it the place behind my eyeballs) I am learning to be able to rebalance and regulate myself. I am discovering my true self, and it is not my body, it is not my mind. I get little glimpses of this, and each week Michelle moves me along the path that I now know has no end.

Michelle is a wonderfully gifted healer and I am so happy to have had a chance to work with her. With her unique training in clinical psychotherapy and her deep insights in spirituality, she is able to offer a holistic approach to identifying problems and offering solutions. Also, she’s extremely patient and kind, making it easy to communicate. After every session with her, you can feel a dramatic shift in your energy levels and can feel the energy / awareness shining forth. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking solutions for chronic mental issues or anyone dealing with spiritual blocks.

I just want to say thank you. I have never experienced the feelings I did this afternoon during our session. I have never felt whole, or complete, or enough, but I experienced all of that today for the first time in my life. I’m crying as I write this because it’s so true and overwhelmingly beautiful. This journey has been and continues to be mind blowing and expanding, and as hard or scary as it has been at times I lean into it and welcome what comes to me. My life has transformed over the past couple years to a place I’d only dreamt about. A place I never thought was possible for me to reach. I’m in this place, now, in large part due to your skill and patience as a cultivator of growth and healing. Thank you for offering a reality I hadn’t considered. And thank you for showing me that there is space to heal and accept things that in the past I saw as impossible. Today has truly been life changing.

My session with Michelle was very powerful. In my experience, effective somatic work requires that a healer be able to follow the process as it unfolds in the body, and I was deeply impressed with the way that Michelle was able to hold space, and follow the movement of energy and unwinding of the body in a phone session. She clearly has an intuitive sense of how energy can be helped to move, and how to honor and facilitate that process in her clients. I highly recommend her for her kind nature and her capacity to work somatically with distance clients. She is a gifted healer!

I had an incredible session with Michelle yesterday. We were able to divide my life into 3 segments. Michelle was able to help me isolate these 3 major segments of my life, and then string them together so I could see my entire life before me as a single flow. She then asked me to realize that Awareness had been present the entire time. I then saw my Awareness added as a separate line alongside my life’s karmic flow and I realized my True Self had been with me silently and calmly watching the drama the entire time. Next, I found myself resting in Awareness and separated from the karmic flow of my life. I realized that everything I have gone through, the positives and negatives, was just “stuff”. It was not real, it was just bullshit, it didn’t really matter. The only thing that was real, the only thing that mattered, was the Self. I then shed/released the thread of this life’s karmic drama like a snake shedding its skin. I let it fall away. It no longer needed it. It no longer had any meaning. All that was left was the Self. Then I felt my Level of Consciousness jump 😉
