Hi! I'm michelle

I help people create more love, peace, & purpose in their lives. Ya know all that self love hype going around? Well, you're not getting there through your mind alone. Self love comes from opening your heart. It's an energetic shift and a reset of your nervous system. The breath is the fastest tool I know to open the heart and release pain and trauma. It's the tool that taught me what it means to love myself, and it's the practice I'm committed to sharing with the world.

There are a variety of ways you can work with me including private sessions, workshops (online and in Los Angeles), and self-lead courses. If you're ready to get started check out what I'm currently offering here. If you're still feelin' me out, feel free to peruse my articles below by category.

I'm so grateful to have you here.

We don't have much tolerance for emotions in our culture. Well, maybe I should say we are prejudice against certain emotions, the ones we have deemed "bad." ⠀ What I have learned over the past four years of healing is that there are no bad emotions and that those very emotions we have shamed away are the guideposts to our own healing. ⠀ I wrote all about it in my latest article, "It's Safe To Feel Your Feelings." Click the link in my profile to read it. ⠀ If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by your emotions or don't allow yourself to feel anger or sadness, this article is for you. ⠀ I'd love to know what you think once you've finished reading it. 💕 ⠀ #pushingbeauty #breathwork #feelingishealing #soworthloving #spiritjunkie #soulpurpose #healyourlife #soulpreneur #mtshasta #awakethesoul #optoutside I'm not trying to make it. There's no where to go. No place to get to. I'm not trying to become someone. Everything I am is already within me. She just keeps showing more of herself. I'm not trying to create a movement. I'm simply sharing my soul. I'm not trying. I'm being. . #pushingbeauty #soworthloving #healyourlife #soulpurpose #spiritjunkie #soulpreneur #healing #breathwork Home. 🏡✨ ⠀ FIND YOUR VOICE: A BREATHWORK WORKSHOP **This is a virtual workshop so you can join from anywhere in the world. Recording available for those in time zones where you'd be 😴.** ⠀ If you feel called to sing, write, coach, act, speak, or use your voice in any way, this workshop was designed for you. We’ll work with the voice and the breath to clear out stagnant energy in the heart and throat chakras and connect you more deeply to the purpose behind your voice. ⠀ All are welcome, especially those who feel insecure or nervous about using their voices or being seen. No experience with anything but life necessary. ⠀ We will be using Zoom, a video platform, which will create an environment for you to connect with the group, similar to an in-person workshop. If you can't make it live there will be a recording available. ⠀ Oct 11th 6:30pm PST $35 Link in profile. ⠀ 📷 @melodee_solomon ⠀ #pushingbeauty #breathwork #healyourlife #soworthloving #findyourvoice #writersofinstagram #spiritjunkie #soulpurpose RELIC FROM THE FUTURE Questions found on an antique cell phone discovered in 2086 in the ruins of an airport when people traveled by plane: What if I let love in all the way? Why am I always leaving? What is it that stirs me about being caught? Though I never wanted safe, why have I settled for safe? Why do I keep running, when I have no interest in moving? How do I say yes more often? How do I stop reliving the past? How can I learn to use my freedom? Having lived most of my life in fear of what's coming, how can I find meaning where I am? How can I stop playing small? How can I put down the upset of not getting what I want? How can I better see the unseen? How can I die to old ways of being? How can I let what wants to be born in me have its way? Now that I've been helped, how can I find the strength to help others? Just what is my work? And what will it take to taste the honey? -Mark Nepo with all the important questions . #pushingbeauty #marknepo #poetry #philosophy #mtshasta #optoutside #awakenthesoul #breathwork #healyourlife #soulpreneur #soulpurpose #spiritjunkie #soworthloving I was just at a coffee shop working on some copy for the trailer for my book when I overheard two friends sitting next to me. ⠀ "Hey! How you doing?" ⠀ "Good, good. Ok, well, actually not good at all. Me and so-and-so are breaking up." ⠀ The friend sits down, and I tune out to continue to write about heartbreak and what it has meant to my life. I write down the title of my book as a last line in the trailer copy, "The Bright Side of a Broken Heart." ⠀ The friend's voice comes back in, and I hear her say, "I'm sorry. Breakups suck. All my best creative projects have come from my shittiest times. You have to find the silver lining. You know, the bright side." ✨ ⠀ The Bright Side of a Broken Heart coming on October 2nd. ⠀ #pushingbeauty #thebrightside #soulpreneur #writersofinstagram #spiritjunkie #breathwork #healyourlife #craftsposure #makersgonnamake #soworthloving Honored to be mentioned in the September issue of @wmag talking about Breathwork! . #pushingbeauty #wmagazine #breathwork #spiritjunkie #soulpurpose #soulpreneur #healyourlife Water heals. 💦 Sending Mother Earth more and more love and respect. My connection is deepening, and I wonder how we have created a culture so disconnected from its roots. My soul has been missing the depth of grounding. My heart has pulled me back to the freedom of adventure, the joy of floating in a silky lake, and the deep awe of a star littered sky and a Milky Way arching like a rainbow above my head. . #pushingbeauty #mtshasta #castlelake #writersofinstagram #healyourlife #soworthloving #spiritjunkie #optoutside #awakenthesoul Hello, Shasta. I love you. . #mtshasta #pushingbeauty #healyourlife #optoutside #adventureawaits It's my soul sister's birthday so I took an impromptu drive up the 5 to arrive to a chilly Berkeley. A dormant cold was pulled to the surface in my last Breathwork session so I'm being really gentle, drinking lots of tea, and getting in some good rest. ⠀ Tomorrow we head to Mt Shasta. I've never been, but the earth has been calling me more and more strongly lately. As I ask around about Shasta I'm hearing how magical it is. If you have any recommendations feel free to send them my way. ⠀ The book on the table I am reading is Jenny Lawson's Furiously Happy. If you want to laugh about the dark things in life, you'll dig it. ⠀ Oh, and isn't this kitchen beautiful? My friend designed it, and I love spending time in here. Such good energy. ⠀ #pushingbeauty #berkeley #mtshasta #healing #breathwork #soworthloving #spiritjunkie #furiouslyhappy One of the highlights to my week is Thursday evenings when I get on video with a small group of people to host Make Your Art. ⠀ I first heard Seth Godin describe art close to ten years ago. I fell in love with his concise writing in my early twenties. He defines art as: ⠀ “…the thing an artist does. ⠀ It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. ⠀ Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.” ⠀ We may not all be writers or painters or musicians, but we are all artists or artists in waiting. That’s my feeling at least. ⠀ For many of us, we have a soul calling to create, and we push it away because we're afraid. We're afraid to be seen and heard. We're afraid we're not good enough. We compare ourselves to everyone else. We make up excuses about not having enough time. ⠀ Our souls don't care. Our souls need us to show up. Our souls want us to write, to sing, to create. And when we don't listen we suffer. Sometimes even to the detriment of our health. ⠀ I created Make Your Art, a support group for people who are ready to commit to their personal expression because I wouldn't have finished my own book if it weren't for a group just like this one. ⠀ The past month leading this group has been so rewarding. Everyone is so supportive, encouraging, and kind. They are working through their own fears and creating beautiful stories, illustrations, and businesses. ⠀ If you’re looking for accountability, inspiration, and a safe space to explore your ideas, you are welcome to join. Click the link in my profile to learn more. Registration is for September and October, month-to-month option after that. ⠀ 📷 @melodee_solomon ⠀ #writersofinstagram #soworthloving #soulpurpose #soulpreneur #makeartnotwar #pushingbeauty #healyourlife #spiritjunkie #artistsoninstagram Excited for tomorrow's Breathwork workshop at @onedowndog. Who's gonna be there?! If you haven't reserved your spot yet head over to @onedowndog to do so. Wed 8pm Silverlake . #pushingbeauty #breathwork #onedowndog #soulpurpose #spiritjunkie #soworthloving #healyourlife This was one of the most restorative weekends I've had in a while. I read (a lot) wrote, cooked, cleaned, organized, planned an adventure for next weekend, breathed, brunched, did yoga, danced to some good hip hop at a Houston benefit, laughed with friends, got some FaceTime in with my nephew, and spent the day at the beach. I hope your weekend was as rich as mine. 💕 . #pushingbeauty #writersofinstagram #labordayweekend #venicebeach #losangeles #breathwork #soworthloving #spiritjunkie #soulpurpose #therichlife ⠀ "There are some things I may not know There are some places, dear Lord, I may not go But there's one thing of which I'm sure My God is real for I can feel him in my soul Well, yes God real, real in my soul Yes God is real for He has watched and made me whole His love for me shines like pure gold Yes God is real for I can feel Him in my soul" - @krishnadasmusic ⠀ #pushingbeauty #loveisreal #kirtan #krishnadas #breathwork #soworthloving #soulpurpose #healyourlife #spiritjunkie
