Meet Michelle
[me/her]
I’m Michelle—futurist, indie artist, executive healer, bitch, Buddhist. My passion for transformation, truth, and beauty stems from my service as a hair stylist, mastering the art of natural beauty [aka authenticity] for 25 years.
My experience of being raised by wolves ensures my resilience, intuition, and adaptability. It’s made me an expert in navigating chaos, taking risks and creating balance for myself. It made me sharp and powerful.
I’m extremely softened [aka inspired] by plants & herbs, rainbows, cooking, Dave (the cat), the ocean, witchery and the art of loving and being loved. These forces combined with the magick of art, healing, and human connection equal a sustained & nourished life. It’s justice, really.
Today, my work spans holistic coaching, trauma recovery, and leadership development. I create safe, nurturing spaces where unique souls heal, grow, and…be. My approach is always rooted in love, mindfulness, and unapologetic authenticity. My techniques are heavily influenced by yoga, meditation, Internal Family Systems Therapy, DBT, Buddhism, psychology and interpersonal communication.
My formal training spans business, marketing, communication, yoga, interior design, and personal organization. As Executive Director of QueerStart, Co-Founder of an artist management company and facilitator to the healing, I bring a unique skill set to inspire holistic transformations for a well-rounded life here on earth.
