Introducing
The Practice
The Practice is a blend of sacred feminine spirituality, embodiment, group support, and deeply connected sisterhood. It’s a spiritual system and transformational process that will guide you to your truth. It feels like divine feminine ceremony, yoga, therapy, and a girl's night out, all in one. If you are feeling the call to deepen into sacred feminine practices and connect deeply with other women, then this is for you. If you are feeling ready to step into your next level of who you are and lead your life in a new way, then you are in the right place.

The Initiation
For many of our clients, The Practice becomes far more than community and connection, it becomes an access point to their true selves and living an authentic life.
The Initiation is the foundation for a new way to live. It is the next level. It’s the revolution, the revival, the place you find the courage to break through all barriers and rise into who you truly are.
The Initiation is a 6-month, online and in person, high-level program and community where you tap into your feminine power and rise into who you were born to be.

Success Stories
jackie, women's circle facilitator
“Before The Practice I was exhausted and overwhelmed from years of working in a way that didn’t allow me to be who I truly am. All I wanted to do was run away.
Yet, as I allowed my true self to emerge I found The Practice calling me on a deeper level. Any fears, shame, or loneliness that I carried around with me were allowed to be witnessed and held without judgment. Any unworthiness or doubt that I felt about myself began to drip away as I opened up and let my voice be heard. My life has been truly transformed because of it. ”

“The Practice has been deeply ingrained as a piece of my healing.
“The Practice taught me how to hold space for others, and break patterns I don't want to pass onto my daugthers.
I was unsure at first, but in need of connection and community. I wanted a place to call home. Little did I know that The Practice would lead me back home—the home within. The home that never leaves us, we only get disconnected from our truest self. The Practice helped to hold my hand and guide me back home to me, my one true love.”
The Practice was a safe space and container that allowed me to feel, open myself up, and gave me assurance that I was going to be okay. Every time I showed up, I gained more knowledge on how to be a better, more aligned version of myself. I credit The Practice on my journey to becoming a certified yoga instructor, and now a business owner in the yoga space."

“The Practice helped me sort out my thoughts on my life. It’s been instrumental in my recovery from depression.
“When I first met Michelle, I entered the Practice a tired, resentful woman after years of pushing through the world playing by the old patriarchal rules.
I’m now fearless of sharing what’s on my mind. The fear of being vulnerable is gone. It’s empowering! I love that my restored positive energy is back and is infectious with my family and clients. The Practice is like taking a small vacation every week to make yourself be a better person.”
I emerged a stronger, softer feminine leader. Michelle creates a beautiful and nourishing container that allows each woman to feel safe, to let down the armor and the masks to reclaim the fullness of who you are. She gently but firmly guides you back to your center. In the Practice, I reclaimed my softness, my fiery passion, and deeper trust in myself. Michelle holds the mirror for you to do the same.”
