To survive a childhood household of anger, poverty, alcohol, drug, mental, and physical abuse, at an early age Michelle learned to read situations quickly. Michelle remembers ah ha moments as far as back as 7 years old when her father made his first sexual advances and she chose not to be another of his many victims. At that same young age her mother asked to borrow the twenty plus dollars in coins that she had been saving so that her family could buy groceries bringing her to yet another level of power.
Figuring out how to manifest positive outcomes in the long-term, Michelle became fascinated with how people’s minds worked and her eclectic (mainstream and metaphysical) studies over the past 25 years revolve around making others more comfortable with themselves and others, bringing her to the title “EMPATHERAPIST.” Today her work revolves around effective, open, clear communication with the goal of creating feelings of safety, predictability, and trust putting you more in control of your actions and life.
