„After being affected by long covid which resulted in short breathing and tachycardia, I couldn’t put my breathing and heart rate under control especially in stressful situations where the symptoms were intensified. Michelle helped me to take back my breathing, understand the signals of the body prior to what might trigger a crisis, and raise awareness of how to come back to a balanced state.
It turned out to be very beneficial for the work life as well, the body shows itself when it’s stressed and signals lack of confidence in difficult situations; such as in meetings where difficult discussions are handled.
I totally recommend Michelle for any kind of issue you would like to work with through the breathing. Not only it brings connection to your body and feelings, but also improves your reflection and response to any situation, bringing new perspectives in stress handling.
Her approach is empathetic, understanding and fully adaptive to the individuals. Adding Michelle’s humor to the equation, it also provides lighter energy which makes this experience enjoyable!“ Vanessa, engineer.
Focusing on what I was feeling and not what I was thinking
„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
To Set Boundaries
„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
Work Completely Practical
„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
Use the Body as a Compass
„I saw Michelle every two to three weeks for almost a year and it helped me to refocus and rebalance deeply.
After months of anxiety and stress from my work and my relationship, Michelle helped me reconnect with my body, learn to listen to its messages and use it as a compass. I learned to take advantage of the learning that moments of doubt and questioning can offer. With practical exercises, Michelle helped me to focus on the sources of my problems and not their consequences. Her humour and gentle yet strong character made me feel comfortable and confident. I can definitely recommend her 🙂 „. Marion
Aware of the healing power of breathing
„I went to see Michelle because I was going through a really tough time. Her warmth and no-nonsense empathy made me feel safe right away and able to share even embarrassing things. She helped me get in touch with myself, listen to the signals my body was sending me and breathing through it all. The massages were an amazing treat and helped release blockages that I wasn’t even fully aware off. As a result, I have become calmer, more in tune with my body and aware of the healing power of breathing, I have since even started a regular yoga practice. I recommend Michelle to anyone who would like some loving support in their journey. Thanks Michelle!“ Monika
