AVAILABLE IN CLINIC.

Michelle became interested in natural therapies in her early twenties after being diagnosed with chronic fatigue. From there she spent some years casually researching the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the art of meditation. She eventually left her job in the corporate sector to pursue her passion for helping others achieve their potential by harnessing their body’s innate healing intelligence.

Michelle is particularly interested in the role that stress plays on the human mind, body and spirit and how, given the right conditions, there can be a movement towards regulating the nervous system, thus allowing one to experience a sense of calm and relief from stress.
Given her curious disposition, Michelle is constantly learning about human nature. She is pursuing further study to become a Focusing Teacher and learn more about the role of the nervous system, particularly Polyvagal theory. She has a particular interest in the work of Stephen Porges, who came up with the concept of Polyvagal theory, bringing the concept of growing ones capacity for safety into the forefront of her practice.

With 16 years of experience as a wellbeing therapist, working in various settings, including a corporate office setting and with a range of clients with different health conditions, Michelle is pleased to once again be offering therapeutic massage as a way of caring for her clients’ physical and emotional needs. Michelle's background in counselling and psychotherapy enables her to assist you in the calming down of your nervous system via cultivating presence and using this as a tool to manage stress.

Michelle loves spending time in nature, and through her observations of the natural world, she is inspired by the fact that change is a constant in life, and connecting with and being present with our own rhythm can be both a humbling and healing experience
