What others are saying about Michelle and her live workshops . . .

“I have hosted many patient events at the Cancer Center and the discussion, which Michelle facilitated, on “Facing Death” was probably the most real and heartfelt dialogue between patients I have witnessed. I could tell that these patients and caregivers were just waiting for an opportunity to talk about their thoughts, hopes and fears about death.”.
~Naomi Hoffer,
Program Manager, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center

“Excellent to be able to talk about reality for all of us and especially if you have had a family member facing death within the year. Helps us to walk ourselves and others home. The more we share, the less alone we are.. .”
~Participant,
Facing Death Workshop, Cancer Support Community

Dr. Peticolas’s workshop on caregiving has put things in perspective. It made me realize how vulnerable patients are and how my interactions with them can affect them.”
