start Living Joyfully

My name is Sharon I am a mother, a RN by profession, I am a caregiver by nature. I had been through some significant personal losses over the past 4 years. I was giving all my time and energy caring for others without any regard for my own needs. I was running on empty and had grown to have crippling anxiety, I was scared all the time- where did my confidence go? Things had escalated to the point I really was not functioning, I wouldn't even drive sometimes. I was on long term disability, I was in counseling. My daughters mental health was suffering and I pulled her from school. Something had to change, I was taking all the steps I needed too. I was forcing myself out of the house. I was taking ativan daily, on antidepressants and sleeping pills. I was exercising, journaling, meditating, having deprivation floats, pedicures, manicures, self-care-self-care-self-care. I had returned to work for a short period of time and had to go off again. I was struggling and had been for a long time. Things were not improving for how hard I was fighting.

Then I met Michelle, love at first sight, she is my people. Her energy spoke to me, we chatted for a while and I learned a bit about what she does. We had a phone meeting and I really had zero fears about working with her. I am pretty sure I was signed up within a week to work with her. For the record, I did have people talk about how much it cost and how crazy I was for spending this much on something I knew nothing about. I needed change and Michelle had been where I was, living in fight or flight. I have been working with her for almost a year now and will continue to do so. Slowly my panic attacks subsided, frequency of taking pills reduced to nothing! I am back to work full time. My daughter is homeschooling and thriving more than she has in years. I no longer carry everything for everyone. I have boundaries! Every relationship I have has improved, the relationships that did not serve me I am finding the right place for them and feeling good about it.

I cannot believe how much has changed and I can't wait to see what else is going to open up for me.

If you are on the fence about working with Michelle. Don't be it is time to invest in yourself! If you are thinking about working with Michelle- you already should be.

My favorite part was Michelle herself. The way she shows up and her personality and relatability.

My biggest transformation was how much more in tune I got when anxiety would come up and then having tools available to regulate in the moment rather than just feeling helpless about it. As well as the gradual decrease I got in general anxiety by doing the “homework” consistently which also helped me remember the regulating tools in the times my anxiety and mind took over.

What surprised me the most is was the various different ways and approaches Michelle has to work with each individual, incorporating various different modalities and not just being stuck on one technique and belief.

I would recommend Michelle to anybody struggling with anxiety that is ready to make changes actively and wants to learn about the nervous system and how it works as well as get plenty of different ways you can learn to regulate your system so you can figure out which works best for you.
