About Michelle…
Reiki Master Teacher & Empowerment Coach
Michelle has always been curious about how to best support others in their lives. Whether through volunteering with members of the community to participate in food/ clothing collections, or bringing awareness to the services provided by community groups, Michelle desires for everyone to thrive. Love, kindness and compassion are Michelle’s core beliefs and the pillars of Michelle’s Reiki practice.
It was through necessity, and chance that Michelle fell upon the Reiki experience. While navigating the fallout of the 14 year relationship with her husband, Michelle was involved in 1:1 counselling support, group support, mindfulness practice through meditation, and she immersed herself in literature surrounding healing emotional wounds. Despite all of that, there was a deep discomfort within her. She knew she needed to lean into energy work to process and purge the heavy state that she was in. In trusting her inner guidance, Michelle attended Reiki sessions and it was then that a profound knowing was engaged. The fog lifted and Michelle heard her true calling to share this beautiful modality with the world.
Inspired by a call to understand and learn Reiki, Michelle began her lessons with her teacher Dr. Laura De Simone, who has been a beautiful guiding light in Michelle’s life. As Michelle began her practice as a Reiki practitioner, she learned that Reiki is a gift of courage for a curious heart. Today, Michelle's passion to teach, help, heal, love, and to make a difference is stronger than ever. Michelle is a Reiki Master and Teacher registered with the Canadian Reiki Association.
In 2022, Michelle dove into the C.O.R.E. Success Life Coaching Program, which she completed in June 2023. Having acquired the skills to ask the right questions to allow others to peel back the layers within, has been an enlightening experience for Michelle and her clients. Michelle enjoys the opportunity to empower others to make choices that align with their hopes, dreams and ambitions to live a joyful life.
Michelle is no stranger to grief, career loss, health challenges, and single parenthood. Her life experiences allow Michelle to have a deep compassion and understanding for the complex nature of navigating difficult life transitions, otherwise known as ‘moving through the mud’. Michelle is passionate in teaching others how to accept what is, and notice when resistance arrives. In her experience, Michelle has learned how to move from a state of resistance to flow through the Divine guidance of Reiki.
Most recently Michelle has been hosting in person workshops to allow women to see the bright light within themselves. The workshops teach women how to to process past experiences that are being called to release through connection, art, transmuting energy, writing and breathwork. Michelle has crafted these workshops to allow others to embody the healing elements that she continues to use in her daily life.
At Courage and Soul, Michelle offers Reiki healing sessions as well as Reiki Certification Courses for all levels of Usui/Tibetan Reiki. She looks forward to working with you, learning from you, and guiding you along your own path of self-healing, self-realization, and self-love.
Cheers to your Highest Self!
