I have never felt this much freedom in my body, my entire life.

There’s something magical about the way you teach. You are masterful at holding the space for others to get into their bodies and feel what they need to feel. From your choreography which is deceptively simple yet complex, to your choice of music, to the way you move your own body—you create a transformational experience.
I haven’t felt that good in my body in a long time because I wasn’t really in my body. You gave permission and then offered movements which were perfect for me. My body and soul wholeheartedly responded!

Without needing to name it as such, Michell offers an extraordinarily therapeutic experience of somatic integration.

You changed my life on Sunday night! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for allowing me to experience what it feels like to fully inhabit my body, and to listen to what it is calling me to do. I’ve been officially glowing for two days straight. :)

For me, your classes are like me doing body work on myself (with your guidance). I can work kinks out of all of my musculature and really work out all the psychosomatic gunk, kinks, aches and residue and get my body back into a resourced, joyful place of flow. I love it so much.

Went to your James Bay “Let It Go” burst video. Initially felt a little doubt that I could get into it, but then something about the visuals (no instructor staring right at me) and the movement and sounds sucked me in. I felt my body loosen and emotions unlock. What?!! Yep. Tears.
Grateful to you for putting this out there.

You are an inspiration- bringing change and body positivity and freedom into people’s lives!
