[me/her]
I’m Michelle—a futurist indie artist with a passion for transformation, truth, and beauty. For 25 years, I practiced as a hair stylist, perfecting the art of creating styles that celebrate individuality and natural beauty. Now, I’ve expanded my work to include holistic coaching, trauma recovery, and personal transformation, weaving all my passions into one.
As a holistic hair stylist, yogi, and trauma-informed coach, I create safe, nurturing spaces where unique souls can heal, grow, and shine. Whether we’re working with your hair, your heart, or your hustle, my approach is always rooted in love, mindfulness, and unapologetic authenticity.
With a green thumb and a rainbow heart, I weave together art, healing, and human connection. From curating styles that embrace your natural beauty to guiding you in personal or professional transformations, I help you build sustainable paths to success that honor your individuality.
I specialize in supporting bold personalities, shy spirits, and anyone navigating life’s transitions, including trauma recovery. Through one-on-one and group sessions—peer support groups included—I blend holistic techniques like yoga, meditation, and self-care practices with my creative and business expertise.
My work is about more than beauty; it’s about empowerment, self-expression, and justice. Based in Brooklyn, I’m here to help you nourish your dreams, celebrate your uniqueness, and transform your life into something extraordinary. Come as you are, and let’s create magic together.
My formal training includes business, marketing, communication, yoga, interior design, and personal organization, giving me a unique skill set to guide and inspire holistic transformations in every aspect of life.
Let’s connect over coffee or tea. Whether you’re looking for creative direction, business insights, or ways to bring more flow into your life, this is a space for a focused, tailored conversation.
