Working with Michelle has been one of the most powerful and nourishing experiences of my life. As an elder and truly embodied wise woman, she has held space for me with deep integrity, humility, and love. Her guidance through plant medicine work and personal transformation has been nothing short of sacred—gentle yet profound, grounded yet expansive. Michelle has a way of seeing the soul beneath the surface and offering reflections that are both tender and catalytic. Her ongoing support has helped me move through some of my most vulnerable seasons with grace, strength, and clarity. She doesn’t just teach wisdom—she lives it. I am endlessly grateful for her presence on my path and hold the highest respect for the way she walks in the world. If you are lucky enough to work with her, prepare to feel deeply seen, supported, and transformed.

Michelle is someone who easily exudes a loving presence, just by being. When I came to her interested in going on a journey, she thoroughly and graciously walked me through all my questions and gave me all the insight I needed to formulate a beautiful time. The journey itself was absolutely restful, healing, curious and delightful. Michelle provides a beautiful space where there is absolute freedom and acceptance. It was being held cared for and wrapped in a warm blanket and sent home to bask in more warmth and healing. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

For the past 3.5yrs. I've been fighting a losing battle with a rare auto-immune disorder. By January 2023, I was rather demoralized by sisyphisian days on the healthcare front. I was hoping for answers and chief among them was "where is the wisdom I had as a kid?" My experience did not disappoint. Although there is no way I can succinctly describe what happened, I will say my sense-of-purpose-angst, and my concerns about how to proceed are gone. I feel a part of something much larger than I ever imagined, and that provides calm. Dr. Ericksen was well worth the investment of time and money and I have already recommended her to others.

Michelle knows what she’s doing. She understands that different people need/ache for different things and that the way forward for each of us is not one and the same. I’m still learning but I am so much more aware with my new lens and sense of things. I know my own nervous system and thought patterns better. I take much better care of myself because I can recognize what does not and who does not add benefit to my life. And I learned that what I am afraid of did not originate with me. I am not afraid of where my brain needs to go while I create new pathways. I have talked to 50+ people about their journeys in the last two years; I’ve yet to hear anyone do a guided journey who thinks as highly of their “guide” as I do of Michelle.

I experienced the extraordinary in a personal plant medicine retreat with Michelle. With her thoughtful, loving guidance and care in creating an all-round safe space physically, mentally, and emotionally, I felt free to surrender and commit to the journey. From the preparation, through the day of the retreat to the follow-up, there was and continues to be deepening self-awareness, unfolding and healing. I am so grateful and highly recommend Michelle to facilitate your spiritual awakening.

Working with Michelle is a profound honor. She carries deep wisdom and ancient medicine, weaving together her PhD, extensive studies in indigenous traditions, and a heart as vast as her knowledge. She is a truly insightful guide on the sacred inner journey.

- Robbie Bianchi, myofacial therapist Whole Body Robbie

I have such wonderful experiences with Michelle. She has incredible intuition in how to help guide you through your journey. This work has helped give me new perspectives into how I view myself and the world. I experienced healing that helped me process things passed down through my lineage. I have experienced somatic clearing, wonderful heart opening, and intense gratitude.

- KC, mental healthcare provider

The level of thoughtfulness and care that Michelle took in crafting the experience was so beautiful. In addition to feeling more grounded and connected with my group of sisters, I experienced an unforeseen physical and psychological benefit from the experience. Previously, I had been dealing with some unwanted post-COVID symptoms (fatigue, feeling down and not "myself") and I was delighted to discover that the lethargy and "greyness" completely dissipated from my being over the course of the day with Michelle and never returned!

-Samantha Morse, PhD, Transformational Coach

I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle in Peru during Shamanic training. After the most difficult night I had during ceremony, I was amazed at the care I received from Michelle the next day. She was very nurturing and kind and was really good with helping me return to a good state of being. I highly recommend anyone who follows the Shamanic path to work with Michelle for assistance in integration of your Journeys.

- Antonio Lucero, accountant

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have someone as knowledgeable and grounded as Michelle access my Askashic Records for me. I went in with a list of requests and some deep rooted emotional things that I haven't been able to clear out for decades. After an hour with Michelle I was able to close chapters that have been open for years. Michelle takes you into the mysterious and elusive "beyond" and helps you be a direct participant in it without judgment or confusion. She's the real deal.

- Deena Kamm, founder and creative director at Voice Up

I participated in a personal retreat day with Michelle and it was a “game changer”. Michelle created a safe ceremonial space and allowed what came up to be seen, acknowledged, and understood. I tapped in to lightness and humor that had been long forgotten and also tapped into inner wisdom and truth. She facilitated the experience with ease and grace and helped me feel at home in body, mind, and soul.

- Liz S., yoga teacher & business owner

This was my first time accessing my Akashic records and I was nervous. Michelle fostered a safe, supportive space, and helped me to craft my questions. She was the type of guide you want to have when journeying into vulnerabile territory - solid and supportive. My Akashic record reading with Michelle offered me insight and understanding, and ultimately profound healing at a much deeper layer of my being.

- Heather Kulikowsky, yoga therapist

Michelle is one of the most talented healers on the planet. Her sensitivity, grace, and connection with both her own and your divine is unparalleled and practical. Enjoy an amazing ride to deepen and transform you as you with with a healer of healers.
