Trauma-Informed Somatic Bodywork

This work is a trauma-informed somatic approach that supports nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and reconnection to the body.

Sessions are grounded in presence, attunement, and somatic awareness, supporting the gradual unwinding of held patterns in a safe and contained way.

The focus is not on re-living experience, but on supporting the body’s capacity to process, regulate, and integrate at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

What this work supports

Nervous system regulation and settling
Trauma integration and embodiment
Increased internal safety and stability
Emotional processing through the body
Reconnection to felt sense and presence
Greater capacity to stay present in experience

How this work is held

Each session is guided by the body’s pace and capacity in the moment.

The work is relational, grounded, and trauma-informed, with attention to safety, consent, and integration throughout.

There is no expectation to go beyond what feels appropriate or resourced. The emphasis is always on working with the nervous system rather than against it.

Testimonials & Praise

“Time spent experiencing and learning with Michelle has been an absolute privilege. On first approaching this journey I was quite unsure what to expect, in terms of both the time with Michelle, and the broader effect on my life. In all honesty I was quite trepidatious about what awaited and how I would react.

Sufficed to say that, having now completed 6 sessions of my Tantric Initiation with Michelle, it is an experience that has been profound in an overwhelmingly positive manner. Michelle truly embodies benevolence, compassion, and the most visceral of sexual energies. The time spent with her and the teachings she has shared with me have been sensational, and the start of a transformational journey.

I am deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to partake in this sublime experience. Moreover, I am indebted to Michelle for her ceaseless kindness and compassion throughout. I have grown inwardly and outwardly during our time together, but moreover the tools she has shared with me present an enticing path to continue this adventure of discovery and empowerment as I continue to learn and grow. From the depths of my being I can earnestly recommend that resources invested in shared experience with Michelle are well spent indeed. It may be exactly what you expect; it may show you things you never considered. Regardless it will throughout be a richly rewarding and nourishing experience that leaves you fuller of life and eager to develop further. Thank you again Michelle for your care and understanding”

“Hi Michelle, I’ve been meaning to contact you for a while to share my good news. I have a lover, and we’ve been making wonderful, natural, pleasurable love and intimacy together for the past few months. I never considered that this wondrous joy was possible for me. I really want to thank you for the help that you’ve given me to open myself up to an awareness of sensual pleasure much less shackled by conventional learning. I give you my heartfelt thanks. You’re a wonderful person.”

“Working with Michelle is quite simply the most restorative and progressive thing that I have done in my entire life. She has taught me a language that I didn’t think I could ever learn – the language of touch. She has intuitive, forgiving, even magical hands! And she has used them to show my previously shame-laden and disconnected body how to receive pleasure, how to let that pleasure overflow and how to then share that pleasure intimately with another.

If, like me, you have lived your life with the handbrake on, feeling as if you should apologise for taking up the space you stand in, then Michelle is for you. She opens up a new way of living and she does so with great kindness and patience in sessions which go in whichever direction the language of touch dictates.

I have been welcomed into a state of bliss and then shown how to spend more time there. I can never thank her enough.”

“The most astonishing thing about my journey so far with Michelle has been my willingness to trust her completely within minutes of meeting her. Not only that, but I also placed my body and spirit entirely in her hands and expressed my desire to listen, to learn and to accept her as my tantric guide at my very first visit. This says a lot more about Michelle than it does about me. I have found some of her guidance hard but have followed it to the letter in good faith in the belief that it is helping me to become a more open and aware person than I was before.

The greatest compliment I can pay to Michelle is not for her intuitive guidance, nor her angelic sacred touch, nor her soothing divine caress, nor for her beautiful mind, nor for her profound advice, not even for her bewitching smile, but that a combination of all these things has completely changed my life.”

My life has been transformed through the divine, sacred touch offered by Michelle. Through my healing journey with her to become a multi orgasmic man I have experienced first hand the awakening that occurs coming back into union with my life-generating sexual force. Her loving guidance has lead me to embrace my sexuality as part of my whole being, instead of holding it as separate from the rest of myself. As a result I have gained a lived experience infused with pleasure, connection, love and joyful wellbeing.

“Michelle’s positive energy put me at ease and I felt confident and open enough to talk about anything and everything with her. The care and affection she showed me and advice and warmth she gave me, left me quite speechless and with a natural high feeling for days afterwards. I cannot recommend Michelle strongly enough.”

Hi Michelle… Just wanted to send you a note to share that I love you and am so grateful. In just those 3 sessions my whole ‘sexual’/sensual/erotic/passion/heart life was ‘moved’ and an inner transformation began. My outer world is beginning to ‘offer’ me experiences and opportunities to really nourish my ‘root/s’. I am beginning to see the branches that can now grow, and maybe even beautiful flowers some day. I can feel the work you did with me. The time you generously gave me and your wholehearted commitment to me, becoming, being, ‘seeing’ me, has made such a magical type of shift, that my life will never be the same again.

I am becoming more ‘wholesome’. I wish to come see you again and I think my partner may come too. She is soooo open, that I can see now how exploration with no agendas or outcomes, is so powerful for couples and the individuals themselves. Love and Peace to you Michelle.
