What Women Say
Donna
Private Sessions
I’m now beginning to understand what it means and what it feels like to be a woman who understands what is the right thing for herself and to follow that truth.
Michelle’s sessions have given me new energy, a much clearer perspective and I feel excited about the new paths that are opening before me.
Barbara
Private sessions
Michelle helped me get to the heart of how my working schedule impacts on my relationships.
She helped me find my own very practical strategies for managing the transition between my competent career woman into my softer feminine within my romantic relationship. It has made a big difference in my relationship.
Susan
Breast Cancer Survivor
In a way, you build a cocoon of protection to survive, and you can’t let go of that until you are ready.
What Michelle was able to do was unfold that gently and it needs to be unfolded gently because it’s deep.
Tanya
CENTRAL SENSITISATION & CHRONIC FATIGUE
I started to feel a lot better physically and then I began to feel extremely emotionally vulnerable.
Michelle really understood the process I was going through. She helped me understand what I was feeling was normal. And that gave me the confidence to get on with the next steps

I went to workshops on sensuality, I took up Tantra, I meditated, I cleared out my old relationships, I owned what was mine and looked at, and I mean really looked at it. […]

I like to think of myself as a mature adult. However, I know I make decisions and have reactions that are shall we say, are not the most mature option available. I have come to understand how all too frequently it is either my inner child or inner teenager actually ‘running’ parts of my life like my dating and relating, or my finances. Play and […]
If you can’t say No, you can’t say YES!
Do you sometimes find yourself saying Yes when your body, emotions and mind are saying No? After saying Yes, suddenly things seem inconvenient or the other person is not as grateful as you think they should be. Left unattended, the unsaid No congeals into resentment, or perhaps those cavernous feelings of overwhelm, “It’s all too hard”. If I leave it too long, I will find […]
Complaints Department: Give yourself permission to ask for what you want
There are times in all our relationships, personal and professional, where things build up. Unmet needs or overbearing demands congeal into resentments, and we can get overwhelmed. I have noticed that the first indication that things are building up, is that I start to complain a lot to my friends and beloved. I complain about how other people are not doing what I think they […]
Don’t make a man feel uncomfortable and other useless advice
Don’t make a man feel uncomfortable and other useless advice Over the last month, power dynamics in relationships has been a hot topic for my clients. In particular, women have been describing what I call ‘the command’, where a man instructs a woman about what she should be doing. I know for myself, this immediately shuts down my body and my heart. And it is […]
