My Journey:

From Path to Calling

Beneath anxiety, pain and inner restlessness lies a deeper truth – one that guides us inward, toward presence and connection. Through embodied practices that brought clarity and insight, I discovered not just healing – but a calling. Now, I walk this path with others ready to answer their own soul’s calling.

Imagine this:

At 20 years old, your mom is driving you to university and back because you no longer have the capacity to. You’re struggling to hold onto any sense of reality as you move through debilitating waves of panic attacks multiple times a day. Your nervous system is shutting down. You’re afraid of everything, even leaving the house, and just a few weeks before, after being rushed to the hospital for fainting in class, the emergency doctor tells you there’s nothing wrong with you.

My story isn’t rare. Crippling anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, a nervous system in overdrive…these are the silent battles so many face. But it wasn’t the disorder, or the impending doom brought on by panic attacks that was most terrifying.

I remember the very moment that I woke up—sitting in the car, afraid I might feel this way forever, when my life was really just beginning. ‘What if I’m always like this?’ I asked my mom. She didn’t hesitate. ‘Michelle, don’t you ever give up on yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, you have nothing.’ Her words hit home—simple, powerful, impossible to ignore. She was right. That truth landed deep. And in that moment, I vowed to myself to do whatever it took to get better. Hopelessness was no longer an option. 

I went inwards. I took a long, deep look at myself and started to get very real about things I had been brushing aside. I began applying cognitive techniques that rewired my mindset. I built new habits of thinking, and in so doing, a new relationship with myself, that allowed me to step into the driver’s seat of my own life. It was a 2 year process that transformed the way I understood myself and others.

From that point on, I began building a life that once felt impossibly out of reach: I completed university degrees in English Literature and Elementary Education, became a school teacher, and moved to the UK to travel and teach. Through it all, I never experienced a panic attack again

My understanding of reality completely unraveled again, but this time I was motivated by inspiration rather than fear. I relished in the experience that there was more to this world than meets the physical eyes and immediately signed up for my first Reiki class! Reiki taught me to develop my intuition and led me on a limitless path of self-discovery and human potential.

Since then I have explored other energy based modalities, schools of ancient wisdom, shamanism, and natural magic. Each and every single one has enriched my life, as well as that of my clients. Sharing what I know is an honour, and a calling.

The work I do with others, is the work I’ve done within myself. Inspired by the magic of my own healing experiences, I am deeply passionate about helping others move beyond their own limitations and fears. To me, a healer is a channel for the Divine presence that already resides within you. A healer shines light into darkness, helping you to see the truth. Ultimately, it is you who makes the change. And when you do, wonders unfold. 

The work I do with others, is the work I’ve done within myself. I am deeply passionate about helping others move beyond their own limitations and fears. Healing is a Divine gift that lives within you.

I connected with Michelle during several very challenging and difficult life events where I was struggling to respond to difficult people and draw my boundaries. I decided to work with Michelle because she channels an amazing level of deep restorative energy that moves me to my core. What I most like about her is that she is gentle and non-judgmental, yet very wise and exceptionally skilled in holding a space for you. Most importantly she is very gifted in being the light for you and supporting you to feel validated. I would go into a session depleted and overwhelmed with what I had to process, and would come out of it recharged and recalibrated, with more peace, clarity and direction. This had a ripple effect on all areas of my life to the point that I was showing up for myself on a more consistent basis with more confidence and strength. With Michelle’s help I was able to successfully integrate some extremely difficult experiences and truly grow from them in many areas of my life.

I have received distant Reiki healing from Aria from over 1500 miles away! It was amazing to feel her work on me from so far away. She gave me a very accurate description of the emotional issues causing my physical symptoms. I was unaware of the root cause until she pointed them out. I felt immediate changes after the sessions, and the exercises I was given to practice later continued to help me heal. I have to admit I had a little doubt about how much could be done at a distance, but I don’t anymore!

I stand testament to Michelle’s amazing gift of energy work. She is truly in tune and aware of the ability that she has. I would have to say that I was in my best place in life, mentally, physically and spiritually, when she was working with me. I would 100% recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking for awareness and balance and of course to feel the amazing benefits of her healing with energy.
