Testimonials

Turning 65 was looming, and my pre-diabetes diagnosis was weighing on me. Although I’m into clean eating and know a fair amount about nutrition, I knew I needed support to help me deal with my blood sugar issues, so I hired Michelle. Immediately, I was blown away by her extensive knowledge of not only nutrition, but also about many other aspects of the physical body. She was also empathetic and flexible. Her scientific approach was easy to understand and implement, and she created a customized plan to tackle my issues. The result? Within a couple of months, my A1C was back in the normal range, and I lost 10 lbs! 

Steve V., Tucson, AZ

Michelle was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and during my first consultation, I immediately felt comfortable and supported. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, she was also very compassionate. She gave me a food plan which was easy to follow, supplements to assist with healing my gut, and met with me weekly for check-ins. A few months later, my IBS eased, my weight had stabilized, my skin had cleared, and my hair was healthy again. I couldn’t recommend Michelle enough! She really helped me so much!

Susanne E., Manhattan Beach, CA

As a young adult, I struggled with acne. After meeting with Michelle, we discussed anti-inflammatory foods that I should be incorporating into my diet, as well as foods I should eliminate. Michelle was wonderful at helping me come up with substitute foods, grocery lists, and an eating plan. She made it simple and easy for me to understand. 6 weeks later, my skin was clear. Michelle is so kind and patient. I highly recommend her.

Greg N.

Michelle has been able to bring me to a place where I am able to get past my limitations and truly achieve the sense of well-being I’ve longed for. She brings an extraordinary understanding of the body and spirit, which is reflected in her attention to tailored class plans and thoughtful meditations. She is passionate about learning and deepening her own practice and sharing her knowledge and journey with her students. Working with Michelle is the best gift I have given myself!

Nancy L., Westport, CT

Michelle is a gifted teacher with a very strong focus on form and alignment. Each time I have attended her class, I have received valuable instructions or refinements to a pose that have helped me deepen my practice. Her love of teaching yoga is evident in the joyful environment she creates in her sessions.

David R., Stamford, CT

Michelle’s fun and knowledgeable teaching style will get you out of your head and push you towards expansion. She radiates a charming energy that will help ease you into even the most challenging of postures. Her passion in her own practice and life is inspirational, and you’ll feel it in her class. I look forward to practicing with her!
