Do you also experience a very unkind, critical Inner Judge, commenting on your actions and behaviours, and sometimes on your being, with this kind of sentences?
“You are never good enough”. “You should have done this better”. “The others are better that you”. “You are an impostor who soon will be discovered”. “You will never manage”.
Many clients start working with me being already aware that they have a critical inner judge. [Read more]
This year, for the third time, A Day to Breathe gifted us with deeply and precious body’s experiences.
Let me start by saying that I am very lucky to have always lovely and inspiring participants at my activities. People willing to challenge themselves, people able to follow my instructions and to trust their body.
I need to mention this because it may seem evident but it is not: I felt, once more this year, honoured for the privilege to lead such a nice and committed group.

While working with clients, or leading my groups activities or developing my articles, I always underline the importance of breathing.
I would like to attract again your attention on this topic, because our mind tends – and it is very good at that – to ignore the importance of this basic function and to move quickly to something more “exciting”… But “outside” the body!
How to blame it? It is true that breathing is, basically, “only” breathing 🙂 [Read more]
“I enjoyed working with Michelle and always looked forward to our sessions. I found her to be extremely intelligent and insightful and all this with humour and lightness. Michelle has the gift of shedding new light on different patterns and behaviors, she helped me see some of my actions from a new perspective. Apart from being an amazing interlocutor, Michelle taught me to relate to my body differently and to return it again and again, focusing on what I was feeling and not what I was thinking. Michelle also helped me deal with living in Zurich and handling Swiss culture as a foreigner. I feel lucky to have found Michelle and to have learnt from her”. David
“Meeting and working with Michelle was a positive experience. She exudes warmth and calmness, and carries a sense of knowingness about why you are there. The way she made me aware when I hold my breath, and how to release, stays with me on a daily basis.
We talked about past and present relationships and this helped me to learn how to overcome what I cannot change. It also helped me to set boundaries even when that boundary relates to a close person. Michelle is a coach that lets you be exactly who you need to be in a session with absolutely no judgment. Thank you Michelle ❤️”. Heidi
“In our first session Michelle said “I’m going to be a pain in the a**e for you”.
Which turned out true, but in the most empathic and beneficial way imaginable. I immediately got the feeling that she really cares and there wasn’t one drop of judgement going on. I was suffering from a kind of general anxiety and had the vague feeling that it was trying to tell me something, but I couldn’t understand the message.
Michelle helped me get in touch with that message. It turned out I had quite a lot of unfinished business that I managed to work through in the end. Now, I’m much more in touch with my body and my feelings, which has lead to massive improvements in many areas of my life.
I was afraid the Grinberg Method might be on the esoteric side but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Michelle’s work is completely practical. With her, I made more progress in the first few sessions than I made after over a year of talk therapy. I can wholeheartedly recommend Michelle for her kindness, empathy, and professionality that never comes across as cold or a facade. And that’s not to mention her sense of humour”. David
