    Hi, my name is Michelle and I am really excited to have started the Course.  This is part of my plan to change career next Spring!  I completed the first part of the plan in March this year when I successfully graduated as a Yoga Teacher - 200hrs Hatha based training in Kerala, Southern India.  It was an amazing experience - very hard work, but well worth the effort.

    I have a very supportive husband, three children and five grandchildren - so quite a busy life!

    Four years ago I started practising Nicheren Daishonin Buddhism and chant 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo' daily - let me know if you want to try it!!

    • My last massage with Michelle was an experience of releasing.
      Over the 6 massages I have had I have felt an improvement especially I my chest. The cough I have had for two and a half years has loosened and improved. I feel some tension in that area has been released.
      My feet and my toes are less painful to walk on and k have felt my shoulders release.
      All around the 6 massages have had a hugely positive experience on my body and my mind.
      Being treasured has woken within me the determination to treasure myself.
      Thank you Michelle.

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the massage Michelle gave me.
      From beginning to end I felt respected and treasured.
      Tension from my back my shoulders and my mind were released with the perfect amount of pressure. Movement flowed and I was able to let go.
      I had been having pain in one of my toes for weeks. Michelle through massage my toes moved my toe in a certain way and the pain has gone.
      Moving my body back and forth seemed to help my cough by loosening it and I slept well that evening.
      Thank you Michelle .

      Excellent work all over body. Particularly thought the use of pressure was ust right. Throughout the whole massage felt very comfortable.

      I had another very pleasant massage from Michelle on Monday 6th Feb. Once again I felt I was in good hands, Michelle's touch was confident and sensitive and I felt completely relaxed and at ease. I can't think of anything that might be improved, it was lovely Michelle, thank you very much.

      I rate this session so highly because it really helped me. Michelle was effective in releasing a lot of tension in several places in my body. Firstly, her massaging the base of my head, having located there was considerable tension around there. Also, the tension in the joints where my arms meet my shoulders was released by a specific tecnique she used and I felt a considerable relief from that. Thirdly, she was able to locate the point of tension in the muscle above my hip which had been causing me to limp though no cause had been discovered before. This was helpful because I can now work on this myself to help the muscle. Michelle was very confident in what she was doing and because of the trust built up from the benefits I have received from the massages, the end result has been very successful. The overall benefits from the 6 sessions I believe are as follows: (1) From greater awareness of where my body tensions accumulate, I have been able to relax and destress more easily at home; (2) In my more challenging responsibilities (eg the organising of events necessitating deadlines and communicating with many people) I have been able to manage myself without raised blood pressure, whereas in the past tension had been a considerable problem. (3) Recently, I've had a greater tolerance towards difficult people/situations, have felt less overwhelmed and seem to have more confidence. Before the massages, I must have been holding more tension in my body than I ever realised. So Michelle has been able to support me to release what I believe to be a 'backlog' of tensions. I feel most fortunate to have had these sessions.

        So, when you massage someone and they fall asleep - do you just let them sleep and carry on? Recently massaged a client who I believe fell asleep quite early on in the hour - was oblivious of half the techniques and body parts I had massaged.
