Michelle is an alchemist! 🔮

I walked through the doors of Essence of Living and met Michelle 5 years ago and since then I can honestly say I have changed in the best way. I am honoured to call her a dear friend.

I was immediately hooked by her classes that weaved spiritual teachings into her holistic sequencing. I went from practicing a couple of times a week to almost every day. I knew I had found what I was looking for and everything felt aligned. During my first 200hr teacher training my whole belief system was torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up, with solid foundations, encouraging nudges and lots of love from Michelle. Hard work was now “heart work”, and what scared me now excited me! I enjoyed my YTT so much I decided to continue by enrolling in Pilates teacher training the day it ended.

Immediately after so many opportunities opened up and I began teaching classes through connections made from the studio. I met many of my nearest and dearest friends during the trainings or at Essence. Since then I have gone on to do many other courses with Michelle and my life has enhanced with each and every one!

Michelle’s strength, commitment and discipline is second to none, showing up in her fullest expression each and every day. She is the flame that lights the candles, that are her students, enabling them to glow. They then shine their own light, guiding the way for others. Instead of paving the way for you, she gives you the tools and techniques to pave your own path!

The alchemy begins from the moment you look into her gorgeous, glistening eyes. She sees you, beyond you. She sees your worries and fears and sees your highest self, your fullest potential, the most authentic you.

“This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.” -Paulo Coelho
