I am light and I have the Holy Spirit Life Force Energy flowing through me. My name is Michelle, I’m here as a Life Coach, Reiki Master Teacher, and Accountant.  I live on Long Island with my husband, living close by to my family and in-laws.

I grew up Roman Catholic, and I believe in a lot of the fundamentals of the religion.  I find myself very much resonating with the Jesuits nowadays, but I also believe in elements found in Buddhism and Spirituality that I have found through learning about Reiki.

In my past I have struggled with depression.  It mainly stemmed from not being my true authentic self and people pleasing to all those around me.  Living more from others’ expectations, I stopped looking within. I lived reacting to the external world and never really checking in with my own happiness.  I valued stability over taking chances and feeling afraid yet going for my true dreams.  At times, I didn’t even know what my dreams were. I just knew I was longing for something.

So I searched in essential oils, podcasts, and self help books.  Met with counselors and life coaches.

And then, in 2015, I found Reiki in all of it’s beauty, and I felt like I connected to the piece of me I was longing for.  It was learning that I had that light within me all along.  I felt so incredibly connected to God, and feeling internal connection to the Higher Power externally brought me to tears.  I resonated so deeply with it.  As I continued on the journey of finding myself, I found the power of meditation and breath.  And this, along with consistently practicing Reiki, continued to heal me.

I started to express myself with written word and creating loving meals on retreats.  I began using my hands to create Reiki-charged crowns and jewelry. I began to bring in more fun and play with my hobbies, like video games, snuggling watching TV with my husband, and reading. I connected with an amazing community.

I learned about my boundaries and when I need to stand my ground and stay firm in who I am.  I received my certification for Life Coaching in 2018, began hosting and co-hosting Reiki Circles, and I started my daily meditation practice.

I now life a life of fun, connection, and creativity.  Connected to I live a life of passion and love.  I live a life honoring all the pieces of me.  Honoring my love of Jesus yet having space for a spiritual practice.  I honor whatever faith you may practice, and knowing people’s unfortunate faith experiences I want you to know that.

My passion is to create a connected space and community with no hierarchy, where I am a guide and facilitator to bring people to their empowered self.  As someone who used to constantly look outside of myself for validation, I now look to myself and my faith for that peace.

I empower people to shift out of people pleasing and into a life filled with joy, love, passion, and laughter.  I create a space to help heal the past and trapped emotions, feel the gratitude in this present moment, and work towards a future to feel excited about!

If you are looking for someone who does things from their heart and soul to help you unleash your light within and to empower you on your healing path, then I’m here to create that space.  I’m excited for our journey together and for what is to come.
