A creative soul. Authenticity advocate.

Poetic by nature. Graceful in movements.

Compassionate heart. Giver. Smiler.

These are some ways that Michel defines herself.

Michel feels passionate about helping others. To alleviate some of the mental health struggles individuals go through always puts a smile on her face and heart. She has a special knack for working with those who experience anxiety as well as those who have experienced a history of trauma.
