Career Information/Inquiries Regarding Building a Practice or Educational Pathways
​
Michelle has over twenty years of experience working with people's bodies through somatic practices. She has built an intentional career rooted not only in quality study and training but with direct experience in supporting people with trauma, chronic pain, and complex cases. Many years of time and resources have been invested in how she has built her practice today. She receives numerous inquiries about her career path/choices and requests to "pick-her-brain", yet regrettably her time and capacity outside of her client caseload is quite limited.
​
Inquiring individuals are welcome to reach out to Michelle via email, but please understand that capacity to provide emails in return or schedule meetings may not always be obtainable due to Michelle's caseload.
Additionally, in an effort to provide quality mentorship to serious inquiries, individuals can request a 60-minute career information session with Michelle for a fee of $110USD; provided she has the available openings in her schedule.

PLEASE NOTE:
Inquiries regarding working in Japan, interning in Japan, mental health practices in Japan, or obtaining a Japanese visa to work in the mental health industry will not be addressed; consulting an immigration lawyer is your best pathway.
