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, an exchange of energy. 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 meant 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 like private sessions, workshops, 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 with me.

Daily Doses of Inspiration

ON INSTAGRAM

This past Sunday evening I held a workshop called Breathwork for the Brokenhearted at WMN SPACE here in LA. We dug into some of the wounds that keep us from healing and used the breath to clear out some pain and old stories.⠀ ⠀ On Wednesday I'm holding a virtual workshop. If you're feeling stuck, are grieving something in particular or are just plain interested in trying this Breathwork thing out, you are welcome.⠀ ⠀ Link in profile. ⠀ ⠀ #pushingbeauty #breathwork #griefsupport #healing #heartbreak #healyourself #soworthloving #Shineyourlight Grief. Man, grief. American author, Joan Didion, says this about it: ⠀ "Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it. Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.” ⠀ There is something about grief that changes you. I think it's the depth of the pain. The all-encompassing nature of it. It really does obliterate the dailiness of life. ⠀ The day after my breakup I found myself flying from Los Angeles to New York City. I laid awake all night on the couch in my brother's living room in Brooklyn. In the early morning, I heard someone laughing outside on the street. ⠀ Laughter sounded foreign to me. ⠀ Once I realized what that strange sound was it felt impossible to consider I would ever laugh again. This is the nature of grief. It takes over every cell of our bodies. ⠀ And the thing about grief, too, is that unless you are with people who have really, truly experienced the depth of pain you are experiencing, you feel alone. I know I felt so alone. So alone that I searched the internet for heartbreak retreats and broken hearted people. ⠀ It's been a year and a half since my heart shattered. I am a new woman. I have grown immensely. I have even written a book about my healing (coming soon!). ⠀ Now I get to hold space for those of you moving through your own grief. I am also hosting a Grieving Hearts Breathwork workshop on Wednesday, July 26th. It will be virtual, and this one will not be recorded. I want to create a safe open space for people to connect and heal together. ⠀ This workshop is for anyone grieving anything. Registration closes tomorrow. Link in profile. ⠀ #grief #griefsupport #heartbreak #soworthloving #healyourself #pushingbeauty #breakupquotes #breathwork Teaching Breathwork tomorrow evening at @wmn_space. We'll be working on healing relationship wounds whether from former lovers or family members. All women are welcome. 💕 #pushingbeauty #wmnspace #heartbreak #grief #healing #breathwork #soworthloving #healyourself Need to make this my view again soon. 🌊 ⛺️ #optoutside #pushingbeauty #beachcamping #pacific #soworthloving #loveyourself #healyourlife #cleanse #grounding The places we grieve are sacred. They hold space for us when we need it most. They soak up what we've worked to leave behind. ⠀ Grieving deeply has been an incredibly beautiful process for me. It was one I had no choice but to surrender otherwise I created so much more suffering for myself. ⠀ Grief is an important teacher. It holds mystery and knowledge in a single breath. It has helped open my heart wider and brought me on the journey to reclaim the lost parts of myself. ⠀ I'm hosting two opportunities to help you on your own journey through grief: LOS ANGELES: This Sunday night at @wmn_space join me for Breathwork for the Brokenhearted. Open to anyone healing any relationships. Register @wmn_space. ⠀ FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME: Grieving Hearts Breathwork on Wednesday at 6:30 PST. Details via link in profile. Episode 10 is live, and in it I read a few pages from my book, "The Bright Side of a Broken Heart."

Families. It was the best of times and the worst of times. I know most of you feel me on this. Family is the most beautiful thing and often the most difficult. One measure of my growth is how things go when I’m around my family. And when I say how things go I mean how much I am triggered. ⠀ My last trip home was one of the best I’ve had. To be honest, they get better each time. Because I’m getting better. I’m growing and really seeing them. Loving them where they are at. Letting in their love for me. Not making their stuff mean something about me. Not making my stuff mean something about them. ⠀ As much as we might not want to hear this, family can be our biggest teachers. The most challenging the relationship the more there is for us to learn about ourselves. ⠀ Since IG is doing all these new weird (aka annoying) things like not showing my posts to people and then showing them two days late, I don’t know if you’ll see this in time, but JUST IN CASE, we’re digging into fam stuff tonight in my Breathwork class a @onedowndog. Hope to see you there! ⠀ #pushingbeauty #onedowndog #odd #breathwork #soworthloving #soulpurpose #healing I am. I even wrote a book about it. I know it's been a while, but Episode 10 of The Pushing Beauty Podcast is up, and in it I read a couple pages of my book. I recorded this episode before I finished the book so it's not exactly the final draft, but hey. Link in profile. #pushingbeauty #writersofinstagram #healing #breathwork #liveonpurpose #followyourheart #healyourself #soulpurpose #soulpreneur #soworthloving #thebrightside When I was first working on consciously developing my intuition I created a notebook I called, “The Universe is Talking To Me.” In it I wrote about the things I would notice like certain animals that I was drawn to and that were drawn to me. I wrote down when I would set an intention for something and receive it. I wrote down the themes and threads that continued to show up. I noticed the numbers, the sensations, and the visuals that were coming my way. ⠀ I had a private session with my teacher around that time, and I told him about the journal and that I named it. He said, “Yeah, and you are talking to the Universe.” It’s a conversation! So I added to the title and started to feel into the flow of communication between myself and the Universe. There is always a constant conversation. How much are you paying attention? What are you choosing to say? ⠀ #pushingbeauty #intuition #breathwork #healing #theuniversehasyourback #followyourheart #liveonpurpose Two LA workshops this week: ⠀ BREATHE Wednesday, 8pm at One Down Dog Let go of what's not serving you. Get clear. We're working with relationships (specifically good ol' Mom & Dad) this month. Tickets at @onedowndog ⠀ BREATHWORK FOR THE BROKENHEARTED Sunday, 5pm at WMN SPACE This workshop is for anyone who is ready to release the pain from heartbreak. Whether you just broke up, or still holding onto a lover from 10 years ago, or you need to let go of pain and anger from a relationship with a friend or family member, this workshop will guide you into the healing process. Tickets at @wmn_space ⠀ 📷 @wmn_space ⠀ #pushingbeauty #Shineyourlight #soworthloving #breathwork #breathe #healing #spiritualgangster #spiritjunkie #miraclesnow #changeyourlife #loveyourself #soulpurpose #lightworker #intuitiveliving #healyourself #darlingmovement #followyourheart #liveonpurpose #wmn Fear is not a good enough reason to stay small. ⠀ What are you doing to live big? We hide and we hide and we hide. Then we hide some more. It's time to take up space. It's time to be seen and heard. ⠀ The more afraid you are the more you need it. The more it will transform you. ⠀ My new ongoing support group for anyone who feels the calling to express themselves but isn't really showing up to do the work is about halfway full. Begins August. Link in profile to learn more. ⠀ 📷 @morgand423 ⠀ #makeyourart #pushingbeauty #writersofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #creativeexpression #healing #soulpurpose #soulpreneur #soworthloving #medicineforthesoul #makeartnotwar The Path: A Lion personality dedicates their life to personal and spiritual growth. They do not waste energy or resources. This card reminds us that self-mastery is available to all, no matter where our quest begins. ⠀ The obstacle: Gazelle personalities are often hyper-aware of their surroundings which can inhibit them from enjoying the beauty they've spent so much effort cultivating. No more worrying about all those predators out there in the wild, when this card appears it's time to get back to the present moment. Sit down, find your breath, and acknowledge the bounty that surrounds you. Let it nourish your gentle spirit. -@the_wild_unknown ⠀ #thewildunknown #animalspirit #animalspiritdeck #healing #breathwork #pushingbeauty #soworthloving #breathe #medicineforthesoul Sometimes (like pretty much every day) I close my eyes and let myself daydream about this pup, and my heart gets happy. 🐶 ❤️ You will change to the degree you are willing to.
