About Michelle
From survival mode to soul-aligned living… this is my story
Before stepping into this work, I was an overwhelmed, self-sacrificing mom—constantly trying to do everything for everyone. As a military spouse and mom of three, I measured my worth by how much I could give, often to the point of exhaustion. I held space for everyone else but left none for myself. My nervous system was stuck in survival mode, and I didn’t even realize it. For many years, this became my normal.
Fitness became my first outlet in 2012, a way to reclaim some sense of strength and stability when everything was feeling chaotic. I began coaching CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting in 2013 and always sought ways to improve my own health. I checked every box: exercise, nutrition, supplements. Despite doing everything “right," I was still in pain, struggling with injuries, chronically stressed, not sleeping, not recovering strong. I knew there had to be more.
In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I became a certified Holistic Lifestyle Specialist. I learned tools to live more in alignment with nature, improving my life through food, sleep, movement, and mindset. This opened new doors for me — expanding my understanding of health beyond the physical to include mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. I was hungry for deeper healing.
That hunger eventually let me to study trauma-informed and therapeutic yoga, meditation and then in 2021 - Breathwork. Discovering breathwork was life-changing. It was the missing piece I had been searching for. Through it, I was able to release years of stored pain, regulate my nervous system, and finally experience a deep sense of connection within myself. It was in this work that I found my true purpose (as I have healed my own pain): to help others heal too.
I realized that my lived experience combined with my passion for healing, prepared me to guide others. Within my community of servicemembers, mil-spouses, athletes, and high performers, I saw a clear and unmet need. Beneath all that strength lies a silent struggle, stress, trauma, and emotional burnout that no one was talking about.
What began as a personal journey and passion project quickly became something more. After leaving my work-from-home job in May of 2024, I made the decision to turn this into a business—and my life’s work. Now, I’m fully committed to creating real, embodied change for the people who need it most.
Today, I guide high-performing individuals and military spouses through trauma-informed 9D Breathwork and and embodied healing practices to release emotional overwhelm, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with who they truly are.
Because true strength isn’t about pushing through. It’s about allowing yourself to heal.
I'd love to help you release, reconnect and reclaim your power.
Beyond the bio:
I didnt even know what breathwork was until 2021 Fitness didn’t become part of my life until my mid 30’s (late starter lol).
I am happiest when I am moving my body and I still train Olympic weightlifting in my garage gym and coach my kids.
Nature is my reset button (beach, trails, scenery), morning ritual lover, lifelong student of personal growth, community builder - I believe community is where true support, encouragement, growth and belonging live.
Body Breath Being
Body Breath Being is more than a name—it’s a reflection of my unique approach to healing.
-
Body is where your story lives, felt experience, connection to your nervous system. This includes the living architecture of your fascia, the connective tissue that holds, communicates, and stores experiences in your body. Through embodied practices, you deepen awareness of your physical form and release patterns held in tissues, creating space for true healing and reconnection - can this be simplified to include fascia.
-
Breath symbolizes the unconscious and transformative portal. It bridges the seen and unseen, connecting the body and soul. Through breathwork, you access and release stored emotions, memories and patterns imprinted in your tissues and energetic field. Breath becomes the medicine that liberates stuck energy, awakens your vital force and opens the pathway to deeper truth.
-
Being is your essence, original blueprint. It is the place within you that is whole, wise, and eternal. Through reconnecting with your Being, you remember who you are beneath the layers, reclaiming your sovereignty and embodying your truth.
Together, Body Breath Being forms a full-spectrum healing journey that honors your somatic experience, your subconscious process, and your soul’s truth. It’s how I guide you back home to all of who you are—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Purpose
To guide others through the emotional fog of survival toward a life anchored in meaning, self-trust, and inner peace.
I am here help others find deep purpose through the very challenges they once believed would break them by holding space for emotional release, and self-reclamation.
My purpose is not just to help people feel better—it’s to walk with them as they rediscover who they truly are and finally feel safe, worthy, and strong enough to take up space in their own lives.
Mission
To pioneer a grounded, trauma-informed healing alternative to traditional modalities—especially within the military—by guiding high-performing individuals through breathwork and somatic healing practices that cultivate emotional abundance, inner clarity, igniting a personal evolution within.
My unique combination of being a Certified 9D Breathwork facilitator, Certified Breathmaster and soon-to-be Certified Light Leader, allows me to provide a truly holistic and highly impactful approach to healing.
Vision
A world where breathwork becomes a respected and integrated tool in both personal and professional environments—not as a trend, but as a lifelong resource for emotional regulation, clarity, and resilience.
This is a future where self-healing is no longer outsourced, but inherited—where generations to come are raised with the tools, language, and permission to feel deeply, live authentically, and thrive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
This vision is rooted in the belief that true power comes from within, and that when one person heals, they become a catalyst for collective transformation.
