My Story
I always knew I was a little different.
Wild, adventurous, expressive. As a child, I climbed trees, performed for anyone who’d watch and felt deeply connected to nature.
However, growing up in the Netherlands with a father who left us and a mother stuck in survival mode, I learned quickly that life wasn’t always safe. Because my voice and opinions didn’t seem to matter, I ended up in situations I never chose and felt powerless. Slowly I shut down and closed myself off from the world around me. I became the girl who figured it out on her own. Who didn’t need or trust anyone.
In my late teens, I left home and swore I’d never feel powerless again. I took control of everything: my money, my relationships, my work. On the outside my life looked “perfect”, but inside I was exhausted. Always in my head and always on guard for something to go wrong.
Therapy helped me understand my patterns, but I couldn’t change them. If anything, I was even more stuck in my mind overanalyzing every possible thing that wasn’t right in my life.
It wasn’t until I was introduced to bodywork for the first time when something truly magical happened. I realized the answers were never in my mind. They were always waiting for me in my body. From that moment something slowly began to shift within me..
For the first time in my life I stopped analyzing and truly listened to my body and to the little girl inside me who was desperate to be heard. She told me to stop living from fear. To stop controlling. To stop playing small. Instead of running from my triggers I began letting them guide me back home.
The moment I really listened, everything changed.
My relationships deepened. My purpose became clear. I felt alive, grounded and safe to be fully seen. Like the free spirited child I used to be, only now with wisdom, strength and deep trust. I quickly realized this was my path and I was hungry for more.
I began to re-educate myself and immersed deeply in embodiment, trauma-informed healing and feminine wisdom. I trained in body-based coaching, cyclical living, inner parts work and non-violent communication, so I could guide others back to the root of who they truly are.
Today, I support women all over the world to come back home to their bodies and live life on their own terms: wild, true and deeply free.
This path will ask you to meet every part of yourself honestly. But once you do? Your life will never feel small again.
This is possible for you. The world is waiting for your voice, your energy, your unique gifts. It’s your time. Let’s make it happen.
With love & fire,
Michelle
