Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Hey, I’m Michelle, welcome to my page! 

My entire life has been full of changes and transitions. The biggest ones were my parents’ divorce when I was young, my mom’s death when I was 22, and my dad’s death when I was 32.

For years, I resisted change. I hated that my mom died and that so many of our traditions died with her. It felt like a piece of me died too, and I didn’t know how to live life without her. I became deeply connected to my grief, often dissociated, partied a lot, and was constantly looking for ways to numb out.

When my dad died, I finally reached a point where I knew I needed help. I started working with a Somatic Therapist, and together we worked through the old and new grief, the ways of thinking and living that were keeping me small, and started to learn what truly brings me joy.

My journey after my dad’s death became a lot about letting go. I let go of a toxic job I had been at for seven years. I let go of long-term friendships that were no longer right for me. And I let go of the need to constantly numb out.

I started to feel again. I started rebuilding my life piece by piece. It was messy, exciting, upsetting, uncomfortable, and fun. I was feeling everything again—the joy, the pain, the ups, the downs—all of it.

Since then, I’ve become certified as a Yoga Instructor, EFT Tapping Coach, Pranayama Instructor, and Cacao Facilitator. I’ve led breathwork journeys, mentored women 1:1 using EFT, and led women’s circles and cacao circles.

It’s been so rewarding to take what I’ve learned through my own journey and use it to support other women as they rebuild their lives, piece by piece.
