“The Rite of Passage Women in Transition event which Michelle facilitated brought healing as well as joy and love, being in the presence of so many beautiful souls. I wrote my noble letter of completion two more times to bring healing from painful losses. It was extremely powerful. I loved the process of sharing my initial letter with Michelle and the other women, feeling safe and taken care of. Also loved hearing the others’ letters and being able to provide love and support to them was amazing. Michelle is truly gifted in her ability to share deeply and guide people on their path to healing, feeling self -love and well -being.”
