Support Michelle's Urgent Dental Care Journey

Dear friends, family and extended community,

I'm reaching out with a humble request for help, as I find myself in need of extensive dental care that I simply cannot afford on my own at this time.

For those of you who don’t already know me, my name is Michelle Ouellette, I was born in Paradise Valley, Montana, and am now based in the beautiful desert of Prescott, Arizona. I am an entrepreneur and a bodyworker trained in three healing modalities, and have my own healing business where I see private clients. I have also started hosting transformational retreats in stunning locations around the country as the next step I am taking in my career. I am devoted to being of service to my community, volunteering and offering the tools and resources that I have gained to help others find lasting healing and live rich, beautiful lives.

Today, though, I find myself in a place where I am in need of support, and I’m hoping you’ll consider contributing to my healing journey.

My Story

When I was a teenager, I struggled with a condition known as esophageal sphincter dysfunction, where the ring of muscles at the base of the esophagus did not close properly. This led to a variety of conditions, which over time caused much damage to my teeth. I am now fully healed of this condition and no longer experience symptoms, but despite my best efforts to manage the condition and maintain oral hygiene, it has resulted in significant enamel erosion, making it impossible for me to keep my teeth healthy without expensive treatment.

I’ve been advised to undergo a series of restorative treatments including fillings, mercury removal and a few crowns, which in total will cost $10,000.

The cost of these necessary and urgent treatments is beyond my current means, as I do not have any dental coverage, and this is why I’m turning to my community for support. Although I have been thriving in many ways, and am living a full and fulfilling life, I have struggled with living paycheck-to-paycheck, leaving me without savings or a safety net for emergencies like this one. My father has been generous in supporting me in every way that he can, but due to being semi-retired and having significant healthcare expenses, he is understandably not able to make this happen for me.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward paying for the dental care that I need to regain my health, confidence, and ability to continue my work.

How You Can Help

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal. Even if you can only contribute a small amount, it will make a big difference. And if you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this page with friends, family, and anyone who you think might be able to and want to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I am deeply grateful for any support, love, and healing prayers you can send my way.

With gratitude,

Michelle Alia Ouellette (Shelly)
