“What I love most about our sessions is Michelle’s openness to allow our sessions to evolve naturally – sometimes we will discuss my dream, sometimes we will spend the session talking about life’s “big picture,” or sometimes we might talk about a specific issue or problem I’m facing. It’s fascinating to see how much positive change I’ve experienced since I started working with Michelle Claire. She exudes warmth and empathy and I always feel heard with her. I am so grateful to Michelle for all she’s helping me learn about myself”
