Hi Michelle, I just wanted to thank you for the Sleep I am enjoying…we do the belly rub/ ear rub and the Tai Chi movement you showed me at Sleep Class…hands up and hands down as you bend your knees…I am so grateful…this is a Big Deal for me as I have been sleep-deprived for years. The Tai chi movement started it all and the ears and belly just boosted it. Thank You Again Michelle!! Sometimes I sleep all night and others mostly might wake up to use the bathroom. Woo Hoo!! Have a wonderful day love. You are the Best!! Thank You for Being You, K and E, Port Hawkesbury CORAH program.

A private session with Michelle can often get to the root of the problem, and it is frequently habits that we have taken on and keep holding us hostage with disharmony through the systems. You can also start learning more about the tools that Michelle often recommends. You can see the introductory workshop she offered to CORAH in the spring of 2024.

Strength Building on the Stairs

I have to tell you Michelle that since you took the time to show us how to properly go up and down the stairs with the power of the feet, I have been making extra trips for my wife because I can do it so easily now. K.D. Mabou

I am so excited about using the stairs. I used to avoid them and would walk around to the other side of the building to avoid using them, or I wouldn’t shop at stores with stairs. Then you showed us how to properly use our power through our feet, and my life changed. I now find that I am taking my walks and looking for more stairs to use on my walk. R.B. Whycocomagh

I used to turn sideways and weight bare on my one foot and pull myself up the stairs or step heavily down the stairs. Since you taught us how to properly use the stairs I have been gaining strength in my legs and I find it a triumph to use the stairs. C.B. Inverness

It took Dr Michelle years to find resolution to her incredible foot pain. The pain was so bad that she could no longer walk on her feet and had to hobble to the dance floor and have someone else demonstrate the steps. The journey to health and wellness began with foot pain and expanded as the body began to unravel its best kept secrets for pain points.

Relief from Plantar Fasciitis took years of talking to experts and working with body workers to discover that through the Touch for Health techniques many clues could be resolved.

The pain of Plantar Fasciitis can be on the top of the foot, under the arch, in the ball of the foot, on the heel. Relief is often sought with hot or cold compresses, having a foot guard at night, magnesium, foot soaks, foot stretches and muscle strengthening exercises. Often this can bring some relief, but the pain can go on for months.

In Touch for Health we can determine if all the muscles in the legs, back and shoulders are working and supporting the foot. Through Tai Chi movements we can determine where blocks in movement may be happening. Through muscle monitoring we can determine what the priority need of the body is to start the healing process.

Very often the calf muscle is not firing correctly, or at all. The posterior tibials and the peroneus are not coordinating with each other, the hip may be misaligned, and the spine may not be turning correctly. All this can lead to foot pain?!?? YES!

In a Touch for Health session we can identify emotions that may be charged and holding tissue hostage. We can release a pattern of movement that has been adopted and is not supporting the foot correctly. We can find out if there is a bully muscle that is turning off a series of muscles and causing movement challenges through the hip, leg and foot.

Within minutes we can have pain released and a proper gait underway. Those people who work one-on-one with Michelle know that she loves to empower her clients. She offers exercises and activities that can be done at home to self-empower healing.

If you are suffering from movement challenges, pain that keeps you from doing what you love, or emotional burdens, consider how time in a session could trouble shoot the real cause and put you on the road to recovery instantly.

You can learn more about Michelle here. You can discover more about a one-on-one session here. You can join the A.M.E. for Greatness Project here and gift yourself a series of sessions to really get the body back into running order with mental and emotional relief too. And, if you want to have the powerful tools for your wellness toolbox, consider signing up for Level 1 Touch for Health – class starts on Tuesday.
