TESTIMONIALS
Misha attended the home birth of my child. They really helped us make space and have confidence to do things exactly the way I wanted. After my first less-than-ideal birth experience with medical-system midwives, having that kind of support was a huge relief and allowed us to avoid a lot of unnecessary and potentially dangerous interventions. ~ Laura Gyre, Writer & Artist

Michele demonstrates wisdom, compassion, and respect in their work and relationships. It is a pleasure to know them and see their contributions in our community. ~ Gabrielle Noyé, Writer & Artist

You did what you promised–created a space where I could do my thing in peace just the way I needed to. Everyone should be lucky enough to have that. ~ Alyssa T.
Michele had a lot of intuitive insight into my spiritual issues and health concerns. They were able to help me see where I was stuck and ways to get past the roadblocks keeping me from fully embracing my own intuitive voice. They also create fantastic herbal teas and infusions that heal both the body and soul. ~ Becca L.
