I had never experienced distance Reiki before, and it was so lovely! Michelle focused on exactly the right areas, and I felt much more balanced afterwards. It was very calming. I've taken yoga with Michelle for about 12 years, and I just love her classes. She is so peaceful.
The Path That Led Here
She planned to be a teacher. She became a healer. In many ways, she became both.
Michelle's path began in the classroom — years with Cherry Creek Schools in Colorado, guiding young people through the process of becoming. But alongside that work, something else was growing. A deep pull toward practice. Toward the body. Toward the sacred.
She began teaching yoga in 2004. In 2006, she opened Harmony Yoga in Denver — a studio where students came not just to stretch, but to breathe, to slow down, to heal. For nearly a decade, that studio was community. It was proving ground. It was home.
She has never stopped. She kept studying, kept practicing, kept showing up for students in exactly the way she would want someone to show up for her. That thread of commitment is the spine of everything she offers today.

"I don't teach from a curriculum. I teach from what I know is real — from 20 years of sitting with students, from my own grief and joy and practice. The work is only useful if it's honest."
STUDENT WORDS
From those who have practiced with her.
Michelle was amazing. This was my first Reiki session. She explained everything perfectly without putting any expectations on what might come up for me. I felt very warm and safe in her space. The overall grounded, calm feeling I felt leaving the session was amazing! My energy was revitalized the next day, and I even found myself working on tasks I had been putting off. I highly recommend her!
