“Michelle helped me re-enter the journey of self-discovery. I had the opportunity to work with her on a deep level. Her energy is setting the tone for a safe environment to be present with your whole being. She helped me understand how the body stores tension, trauma, stress and what a beautiful release comes with breathing, accepting what is. Her humour is a catalyst, which I embraced gladly. Thank you, Michelle, for your support, in helping me embrace who I am and how to flourish with resilience.” Vera Daskalaki, the Mindful English Coach

A space to find ourselves
“I had the opportunity to do several rounds of sessions with Michelle. Not only is Michelle a very pleasant and full of humour person, but she is also a very good listener.

With kindness, gentleness and clarity, she guides us with tactfulness in the discovery of our answers. An excellent experience. Thank you, Michelle.” Valerie, flight assistant.

Even if you may not like this period, it is difficult to ignore this event and the rhetoric that goes with it. Let’s use these “Christmas vibes” for training our attention toward what is really precious to us, because Christmas is happening anyway.

Our immaterial wealth
In my last article, the topic was how to give more attention to what we possess. The idea behind was to get more nourishment from what is already in our life, instead of accumulating more and more stuff. Consuming less helps us – in my opinion – to be more attentive to what is already present in our life. It may move our attention from what we possess – materiality – to something immaterial.
Instead, consuming maintains the sensation that we lack of something. That what we have is not enough. Sometimes we even feel that we are not enough, that we should solve a problem by acquiring the “right stuff”.[Read more]
