Originally from Los Angeles, California, Michelle began her journey toward becoming a holistic health practitioner as a way to balance the demands of her busy career in television, her role as a new mother and her hectic lifestyle as a travelling expat executive in over six countries on three continents within a five year period.  Singapore has been where she hangs her Vibram Five Fingers up since 2009.

As a Yoga Alliance-certified instructor in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Prenatal and Postnatal yoga, Michelle enjoys guiding others through energetically balanced lifestyles. A certified Usui Reiki Master Teacher and Kundalini Reiki Practitioner, Michelle is a devout follower of energy healing techniques and encourages these within all of her holistic practices.

Combining the principles of yoga, Reiki energy, pranayama breathing and hypnosis, Michelle developed the holistic fertility program, FERTILE BODY™ in 2010.  To understand the physiological woman’s body and mind better, Michelle is finishing her training as Birth and Postnatal Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator through Childbirth International. When she’s not laboring over doula study materials, Michelle is also working toward her advanced diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine – herbology, acupressure and acupuncture.

Michelle practices as a Certified Hypnotherapist, having earned certification and membership in the National Guild of Hypnotists and the American Hypnosis Association.  Seeking further ways to understand the mind’s role in communicating overall health to the body, Michelle earned further credentials as a Banyan Institute 5-PATH Master Hypnotist and is also credentialed with the HypnoBirthing Institute as one of Singapore’s few HypnoBirthing Fertility Specialist therapists.  Michelle is also one of two Dunstan Baby Language Educators in Singapore, a program that Michelle felt was a lifesaver in communicating with and meeting her newborn’s needs.

Also very active in parenting communities in both Hong Kong and Singapore, Michelle is Mama to two-year-old, equally active, Dheva, who constantly keeps Michelle on her toes! Contributing to the launch of parenting site Little Steps Singapore as well as the launch of the Little LUXE City Guide to Singapore, Michelle serves on the Committee of the New Mothers Support Group Singapore, where you can find her every first Monday of the month at Camden Medical Center hosting child experts who speak to NMSG’s membership.
