Michelle

All sessions are held online, one to one. Each one is different — responsive to you, to what's present, and to what the moment calls for.

Michelle in a forest, arms open wide

All sessions are held online, one to one, and last 90 minutes. Each one is different — shaped by what you bring, what emerges, and what the moment calls for. There is no fixed protocol. Michelle draws on a wide range of approaches and follows what is most alive in the room.

Sessions can involve conversation, breathwork, somatic awareness, tapping, parts work or simply sitting with something difficult until it begins to shift. Often a combination of several. Michelle will always work at your pace.

Michelle's foundation is her Alexander Technique training — a practice of deep somatic awareness that taught her how the body holds our history, and how it can change. To this she brings Faster EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), parts work, Jungian depth psychology, shamanic awareness, complex trauma sensitivity, and her own breathwork practice, Ferning.

None of these are used as a script. They are simply what Michelle has gathered over many years of following a calling — tools that have become part of how she thinks, listens and responds.

People come to Michelle at turning points. When something has to change. When the usual approaches haven't reached the thing. When the body, the heart and the mind are all pulling in different directions.

She works with people navigating scapegoating and difficult family dynamics; those going through profound worldview shifts or conscious awakening; people processing betrayal, shame, sexual trauma, or complex grief. She also works with people who simply feel stuck — whose lives have narrowed somewhere along the way and who are ready, finally, to find out why.

She works with individuals and with couples. Online, from anywhere in the world.

The Ferning practice

Ferning

Ferning is Michelle's own breathwork and movement practice. Through a gentle sequence of breath — following it inward and downward, then upward and outward — the spine begins to lengthen. The ribcage softens. The shoulders drop. What has been held begins, gently, to release.

The fern moves in a whorl — a whirl, a living spiral, that ancient pattern found in shells, in galaxies, in the unfurling of new growth. To spiral inward is not to retreat. It is to gather. The journey into the self, into the shadow and the depths, is not an ending but a necessary turning — the coiling that makes the spring. You cannot move outward with true force until you have first moved in.

This is the pulse of existence itself. The deepest creative energy does not burst outward from nothing. It rises from stillness, from the inward spiral, building until it cannot be contained. The dance, the expression, the aliveness — all of it arises from what was first gathered in the quiet.

Ferning honours this. The breath moves inward first — down into the root, into the places that have been held and braced and protected. And then, when it is ready, it rises. The spine lengthens. The arms open. The body remembers that it was made to move freely, expressively, without apology.

Sessions incorporating Ferning are available as part of integrated work with Michelle, or as a standalone practice for those drawn to breathwork, somatic release and embodied movement.
