Over time, Michele‘s professional skills morphed into more holistic healing methods. She became very aware of the power of the mind-body connection. This led to a progression of certifications in the areas of transformational hypnosis and Advanced Practioner of Usui Reiki. She maintains a strong meditation practice and encourages everyone to learn about the benefits of this powerful tool for insight and mindfulness.

Michele is passionate about educating people on the use of hypnosis for a variety of issues facing children, teens and adults. She enjoys working with people to address everyday issues such as fears/phobias, insomnia, worry, and managing addictions like smoking, overeating, overspending.
