Michelle’s first passion is music, which brought her to love dance and Capoeira (Brazillian Martial Art). However, after a dance-related injury, she was forced to slow things down. A friend recommended yoga, which was a perfect compliment to her physically demanding lifestyle. Her chiropractor would say to her, “Our bodies have a God given ability to heal and getting the body to relax is the first step in getting the body in balance.” This sparked her interest in pursuing a career in holistic health.
