My Story
Michelle is passionate about empowering others to reclaim their wholeness after trauma, grief or abuse. Drawing from her own journey, decades of living with functional depression, PTS(d), social anxiety, and taking anti depressants for way too many years that simply masked, her true path and supressed her feelings.
Founding her studio Nook & Nourish, Michelle is dedicated to providing a safe space for deep healing, believing that true wellness is an integration of the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.
Michelle uses transformative practices such as movement, brainspotting, hypnotherapy, Trauma release exercises and fascia release. Her approach is deeply intuitive, fostering self discovery and resilience while helping others release the pain stored in their bodies and minds.
“Feeling my feels & regulating my nervous system healed me”

Nook and Nourish studio creates a nurturing environment to gently be guided to self love, strength and a renewed sense of purpose.
YOU are a survivor of all that happened to YOU, and I choose to help you embody and thrive, your healing is not about revisiting the wounds but embracing the freedom to thrive.
Michelle was not willing to give up or be defined by all that happened to her. After decades if being a people pleaser, no self boundaries and going out of her way to serve others but not herself she decided it had to stop and there had to be more to life.
In 2004, a journey of rediscovery began after sudden sibling grief and caring for her new born son shattered her world as she knew it. A chapter of 20 years that was about struggle and masking her true self led to years of illness and dis- ease, also opening up memories of child abuse and leading to leaving her marriage during a global pandemic.
Retraining in many practices and travelling to Australia, South America and New Zealand Michelle learnt how indigenous cultures heal as communities and at deep rooted cellular level. Leaving the corporate business world to work in women’s refuge and for the globally recognised Mental wellbeing company and The School of Trauma informed School of Positive Psychology led to a journey of self discovery but a true yearning to follow her true path.
Satya Coaching was formed in 2021, and Michelle worked predominantly with Clients in the online space. A 21 year vision to bring a wholeness hub to her community led to the opening of Nook & Nourish, a hub for wholeness, a safe space to be yourself and a place for community to meet.
