I appreciate all the time and energy Michelle put in to help me reach this point –the empathy she showed for my situation and my reaction to it; her calm demeanor and understanding. I’ve looked forward to our weekly meetings as spending time with a friend — a friend who has experience and knowledge to help me learn from this and enter life again.

Michelle helped me deal with the untimely death of my dear friend and roommate and put her loss in a new perspective. During those dark days after her death, I felt suspended in a space between life and death and could see both dimensions. At times I wanted life and other times I wanted to cross over. I am grateful to Michelle for guiding me to channel all my emotions in a life affirming way that has empowered me to get past my heart-wrenching grief and see that I am where I am meant to be. I have started a book that encompasses many related subjects and I acknowledge Michelle for encouraging my writing as a powerful and creative way to release my deep emotions around grief and loss.

While working with Michelle, I discovered she has the integrity like no other person in my entire 40+ years of experience working with other life coaches, therapists, spiritual teachers, etc.  She does what she says and sticks to her word like no other. Her boundaries are firm and straightforward, yet she bends “softly” at the right moment when I need her to hear me at a deep humane and spiritual level. After my feeling betrayed by other coaches, therapists, and yoga teachers throughout my life, Michelle has restored my faith in her as a conscientious, aware, and human healer.  That is a good start for me.
