About Michelle 

My desire to experience the connected oneness with beings of nature has led me on a life journey of healing and self discovery.

Around 3 decades ago I began exploring spiritual healing and conscious living and in 1990 began work in the Bay of Plenty as a Clairvoyant and Hands on Energy Healing Practitioner.

In the early nineties I lived outside for a year and found myself immersed in the exploration of my Shamanic roots. This was to go on for several years.

It was during this time that the realities of living on our Mother Earth were presented to me in a completely new way and I began to rediscover myself and learn to consciously communicate with nature.

In 1998 I gained Rieki certificates in the Usui Reiki System of Natural Healing.

During this time I worked with Robert Van der Touw and we co-developed and facilitated Medicine of the Four Winds workshops in association with the Acedemy of Shamanic Studies NZ.

It was at this time that I went on to illustrate and publish ‘The Sacred Web Book and cards” Written by Robert Van der Touw.

From 1998 to 2003 I co-created and facilitated with Robert van der Touw, the ‘Medicine of the Four Winds’ workshops which used shamanic journey and healing techniques to research New Zealands flora, fauna and minerals for the development of a set of 50 homeopathic medicines, ‘The Rainbow Essences of Aotearoa.’

From 2003 to 2006 I also co- facilitated year courses for ‘The Sacred Web’ studies and ‘The Rainbow Essences of Aotearoa.’ 

From 2003 to 2007 I worked from ‘Kate’s Riding Center’ in Kerikeri as their Natural Healing Practitioner and Animal Communicator working with clients and their horses and during this time also worked as a Healing Facilitator from my rooms in Kerikeri Northland where I had my client base for ‘Natural Healing and Conscious Living consultations.’

I am now available to clients in personal consultations either traveling to them locally in Northland or at my home base ‘Sanctuary’ or in distance consultations via phone or skype calls which are available where ever you may be in the world.
