She started her career in health and wellness as a massage therapist, learning about the body from a Traditional Chinese Medicine lens, observing how unexpressed emotion can impact one's health and wellbeing. Working as a Polyvagal informed somatic therapist, Michelle is keen to safely support you to bring awareness and listen to your body's innate intelligence, assisting you to grow your capacity to feel safe. The practice of embodied safety can help to create flexibility and adaptability in your nervous system's response, expanding your capacity to connect and enjoy a more authentic life.
