I appreciated the group because I learned that I was not alone in my pain. It gave me perspective. I especially like how Michelle asked questions. She was very skilled at drawing people out. It’s seamless and very valuable.

Michelle Peticolas came into my life at the exact moment it was falling apart.  My mother was dying, my brother was wrecking havoc with his alcoholism, and I was having a recurrence of a medical condition attributable to stress.  Michelle was constant and unwavering in her conviction that I had the tools to handle the obstacles in my path.  She was able to reframe difficulties into spiritual challenges.  So total is her groundedness in ecstatic tradition that she was able to lift me up beside her to soar.  Michelle’s work is a gift to the world.

I was going through a very traumatic life experience when I met Michelle. I had just gone through four therapists and was in despair of finding someone who could help me. I met her through the recommendation of a mutual friend. Our connection was immediate. She completely understood my pain, fear and anxiety. Slowly and with the baby steps I required, she patiently helped me overcome these challenges.

Her greatest strengths are her compassion, understanding and genuine care. She provided insightful coaching, practical exercises, relevant readings, uplifting music, spiritual texts, phone calls, group support and whatever else was needed. I have progressed a great deal and am a happier, more confidant and more complete person today.
