Hello! I’m Michelle Janine.

I love to create cute, vibey, and fun spaces where we can come together to make some big shifts in our life. What I’ve learned the most from this past year, is that life is all about BALANCE. Healing work can be heavy and dense, so we need to balance that out with fun and lightness. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about toxic positivity. I believe more than ever that you have to feel the low lows in order to appreciate the high highs. For years, I was so numbed out that I didn’t even know there was a spectrum of emotions that could be felt. And it is a GIFT to feel the whole range of emotions, the good and the bad.

My greatest teacher in this lifetime has been grief. I lost my mom when I was 22 years old, then lost my dad nine years later when I was 31. With the death of my mom, the pain was so unbearable and I didn’t have the tools to process what happened or how I was feeling. I actually thought I might die from the pain, so I chose to party instead to mask the pain. I hated it when people asked me about her death, I thought everyone was pitying me, and I hated the fact that everything in my life had changed. I fought it, hard. Then when I lost my dad, I was lucky enough to have a friend/neighbor that processed the grief with me daily. And I also started working with a Somatic Therapy coach and moving through my emotions in real time. Grief is a wild ride - there’s anger, sadness, confusion, joy, aliveness - all these big emotions wrapped into one word. As I worked through my grief in real time, I felt lighter every day. I learned tools on how to process, how to ground myself, and how to feel into my emotions. And most importantly, I was learning what made me happy and sparked joy in my life.

All this to say, I found balance with the grief and joy, and that’s really what life is all about. And I learned that all of my emotions are valid.

It is a daily effort of self-awareness to continue working through my limiting beliefs, stories, and narratives. And I have found that breathwork and tapping are the methods that work best for me.
