Just a Girl Trying Heal the World

Help Me Explore the Path of a Healer!
My name is Michelle and I’m embarking on a journey through Southeast Asia to study sacred healing modalities and build a life where I can truly be of service to others, and I'm asking for your help!

A Little About Me…
Ever since I was a child, people called me a healer.  I never really understood what the term meant but as I got older, I remember becoming frustrated every time I heard it.  Growing up as a first generation immigrant family in Brooklyn, NY I had to quickly learn how to be resilient, sharp, and tough - not soft, warm, and kind.

And yet despite all the hardness, I never strayed far from my truth. I’ve worked in non-profit my entire adult life and have dedicated several endless to serving communities. Yet it wasn't until I began practicing Yoga that I felt an authentic and creative energy I hadn’t felt since I was a child. This connection softened me and allowed me to access the gifts of my intuition. It didn't take much or long before I started sharing the gifts of Yoga, meditation and energy reading with others. Seeing students’ faces after class or helping another reach into their own wisdom through energy has given me a deep sense of purpose — something I’ve been longing for my whole life.

A Little About the Journey…
They say things fall apart so that others can come together and I believe this is exactly what’s happening.  I feel like my path is being catalyzed by Divine Grace. For a long time I tried to balance both lives, working a 9-5 during the week while studying and teaching Yoga, meditation and energy on the weekends.  After a series of events some might call unfortunate but I consider to be blessings, I find myself empty - without a job or a home — only profound courage to leap into the unknown and honor a deeply seated calling — to enhance my healing abilities  so that I may be an instrument to others.

During my trip, I'll be exploring and exploring reiki, sound healing, Thai Massage, the ancient study of Indian medicine known as Ayurveda, and I’ll be completing my advanced Yoga Teacher certification. 

And if that’s not enough (I’ve also been known to be a bit ambitious! :-)) I’m also hoping to tap into the wisdom of locals to learn what healing means to different people in different countries.  Finally I hope to return safely from this journey so that I may share this knowledge and tools with others.

My Goal:
Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey! I’m incredibly nervous and filled with anxiety but ultimately feel so grateful for this opportunity.

My goal is to raise $6000 and I hope you consider supporting me. This amount is the direct cost associated with all my trainings.  They include: 

—Thai Massage (Level 1 & 2) in Chiang Mai, Thailand
—Yoga Teacher Training (500 Hour YTT) in Rishikesh, India
— Sound Healing, Reiki, and Feminine Divine practices in Kuala Lumpur, and
— Ayurveda Holistic Counseling in Kerala, India. 

If I tried to pursue these trainings in America, it would cost nearly three times the amount so I‘ve decided to cut expenses by backpacking through SE Asia, where I’ll be staying in hostels and immersing myself with the people and culture!

Any contribution you can make will help take me a mile further on this journey (no but really, in SE Asia, this is true!) I look forward to a safe return and hopefully one day, being of service to you!  But in the meantime, thank you. thank you, thank you!
