As the pandemic continue to be part of our life also in 2021, I guess that like me, you are looking for strategies to cope with the reduction of social activities and the distancing that we are still supposed to practice. And maybe, just like me, you may be interested in what follows.

“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. In addition to her excellent therapeutic qualities in terms of breathing techniques, discovering our personal pattern and her way of working, Michelle creates a safe space for us to “find ourselves” and “move forward”. 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.
Christmas is approaching! And I would like to continue the reflection about giving attention to our immaterial wealth during this special time of the year.
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.

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]
“Michelle is a not only a wonderful person, but a fantastic therapist with a great sense of humour and a huge experience and knowledge. She is the kind of person who was born to be a natural healer!
She effortlessly created a safe, welcoming and healing atmosphere already on our first session. She guided me through a journey of self-discovery by teaching me how to raise awareness of my body’s reactions to difficult situations, which I handled in a pretty much self destructive way in my whole life.
With her help I started to learn how by changing our physical response to a stressful situation (breathing techniques and body posture) actually influences our conscious/subconscious reaction to it! It is an incredibly interesting experience and it makes you feel so empowered!
By asking the right (sometimes very painful) questions and giving her reflections on my story, she managed to point out with love and empathy the breakpoints in my history that I need to work on.
As a manifestation of these blockages, she applied a very precisely targeted massage, (which made me want to die first), but definitely released the cumulated stress from my body, leaving me with the sensation of weightlessness.
I also love her sense of humour, it helped me feel very comfortable from the beginning and she showed me how to laugh about myself and how to be more relaxed and accepting of who I am and how I feel.
It’s truly incredible how much I learn about myself and although my self-discovery with her is still ongoing, I can only recommend Body Learning with Michelle to everybody who is looking to find or regain a healthy balance in any areas of their lives. You will never regret it!” Melinda
Have you already noticed that our ability to pay attention, to see something, is related to variations? What we see is easily attracted by what is new – a new restaurant in the neighborhood or the new film with our preferred actor. But our eyes are often blind to what is familiar and taken for granted. Not paying attention can bring us to not see what is already in our life and to push us to constantly research for the excitement of what is new. We keep looking forward to what is not yet in our life.
