start Living Joyfully

I enrolled in Michelle's Joyful Living course to learn more about somatics and how to get into the body. What happened was that I learned a whole lot about ME. I mean, I knew I would, but the way the information was presented, the way Michelle generously shared her stories and the supporting content she provided all made this experience far more touching than I expected.

Michelle has a gentle way of presenting information and creating space for you to absorb fully or dip your toe in. Either way, you are held and supported in her container.

Everything presented was valuable and worthwhile - so much so, in fact, that an entire course could be given on one week's worth of teaching. I appreciated receiving the replays, the supporting documents and Michelle's regular checking in to see how we were doing. This container is a great place to feel loved!

My name is Sharon I am a mother, a RN by profession, I am a caregiver by nature. I had been through some significant personal losses over the past 4 years. I was giving all my time and energy caring for others without any regard for my own needs. I was running on empty and had grown to have crippling anxiety, I was scared all the time- where did my confidence go? Things had escalated to the point I really was not functioning, I wouldn't even drive sometimes. I was on long term disability, I was in counseling. My daughters mental health was suffering and I pulled her from school. Something had to change, I was taking all the steps I needed too. I was forcing myself out of the house. I was taking ativan daily, on antidepressants and sleeping pills. I was exercising, journaling, meditating, having deprivation floats, pedicures, manicures, self-care-self-care-self-care. I had returned to work for a short period of time and had to go off again. I was struggling and had been for a long time. Things were not improving for how hard I was fighting.

Then I met Michelle, love at first sight, she is my people. Her energy spoke to me, we chatted for a while and I learned a bit about what she does. We had a phone meeting and I really had zero fears about working with her. I am pretty sure I was signed up within a week to work with her. For the record, I did have people talk about how much it cost and how crazy I was for spending this much on something I knew nothing about. I needed change and Michelle had been where I was, living in fight or flight. I have been working with her for almost a year now and will continue to do so. Slowly my panic attacks subsided, frequency of taking pills reduced to nothing! I am back to work full time. My daughter is homeschooling and thriving more than she has in years. I no longer carry everything for everyone. I have boundaries! Every relationship I have has improved, the relationships that did not serve me I am finding the right place for them and feeling good about it.

I cannot believe how much has changed and I can't wait to see what else is going to open up for me.

If you are on the fence about working with Michelle. Don't be it is time to invest in yourself! If you are thinking about working with Michelle- you already should be.

Michelle has always had an ability to move me forward in life. When I was at a point in my life where I knew something had to change, I naturally turned to her for direction. Despite my best efforts at using the best excuses and anything else my brain could come up with, she would always direct me back to my thinking, even when I didn’t want to believe it. She  helped me learn how to sort out my thoughts and manage my thinking.  I would not be where I am today without her patience and skill. Her coaching has brought my life to a whole different level; I am more self-aware, able to tune in to my own wisdom, able to trust myself and my own judgements, and able to recognize when it’s time to go within to find the answers. Thank you Michelle.
